Sorry. I just thought the serial number might indicate a fake. I’m technologically challenged but will try to attach pictures!
Thanks,

We don't go into detail any more about what makes a Coach genuine, We used to, in the distant past but the fakes makers and their distributors used our revelations to make their fakes more accurate. "The 2 halves of the C pattern on Signature styles should be mirror images" is the prime example. Once that started appearing in the forums 15 or 20 years ago, most of the fakes that DIDN'T have mirror image C patterns started disappearing even more quickly. So there's a lot that'never gets mentioned.

Ooo I did not know that, but now that you mention it, it’s pretty obvious!! You can’t put a whole dictionary together for the fake makers. So actually all those comparing videos that people make to help other people might not be as helpful as one would think. Luckily there are still places like this )
Thanks a lot for the help and I appreciate all of you authenticaters💗🤗

Good evening dear authenticators! A request to authenticate please. Thank you!!!

Item: basic bag
Where purchased or how obtained: thrift store
Comments: dimensions are 7" height, 11" width, a tiny bit over 2" depth. I believe I acquired this bag before joining the Purse forum and I do not believe that I had this authenticated. I did a search in my content and did not find such a request. Pardon in advance if I am mistaken. I have several more basic bags to request if that is okay. Thank you!!!

It's fine

Working ...

"Overstamping marks" as we call them,are found in both real and fake bags. This is one of the real ones. Your buyer is wrong.

Thank you so very much for sharing your expertise/knowledge! I've let the buyer know what you determined, and invited her to come here to see your response. She's pleased that the bag is authentic--and interestingly, thought it was fake because it appeared to have not been used. Happy New Year to you and yours, Hyacinth!

It looks okay. My camera sometimes does the same thing. I think it "thinks" it knows which way is up.

AUTHENTICATE This COACH

Please post authenticity questions related to COACH in this thread.

Note: The PurseForum requests that only members with an extensive knowledge of the brand and authenticating who have over 500 posts participate as authenticators in this AT thread. The moderators reserve the right to remove authentications that do not meet these requirements.


Please follow the following rules:

• Before you submit a request for authentication, please search this thread to make sure that the item has not previously been authenticated. This is not a thread to ask general questions about COACH, please refer to our main Coach forum for such information.
• This is a free service, but it is imperative that you help our authenticators by using the following format:
  
  Item:
  Listing number:
  Seller:
  Link:
  Comments:

• If the bag in question is not on an auction site, please use the following:
  
  Item Name (if you know it):
  Link (if available):
  Then attach any photos (all authentication must include photos.)
  • Please be sure to include a clear readable photo of the creed stamp and serial number from inside the bag or accessory if there is one, and the bag's measurements when the bag is an older or vintage leather Coach.
  • Since mid-2014, Coach stopped putting serial numbers on creeds so in newer bags where the creeds don't have serial numbers, we also need to see pictures of the labels/tags from inside the bag. They are either both in the main open part sewn into the seam of the lining, or one might be buried deep inside the zipper pocket. One shows where made and the other has a serial number.
• Authenticators are not required to answer every request and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format.
• Please note that comments on price and condition are NOT permitted.
• Do NOT PM an authenticator or moderator to request authentication. Any and all such requests should be posted in this thread.

• Do not handle your disputes with other members in this thread but take your differences to Private Messages. Failure to do so can result in banning.
