Hi there, I hope I am asking my authentication question in the right format. I would like to check the following bag before I buy. It is posted on Vinted.

Ad and Item title: COACH vintage (1968) mini sac Bonnie Cashin Cuir rose Mini Safari
Seller: vintage.pepites - https://www.vinted.nl/member/156807806

Link: https://www.vinted.nl/items/3355794...ssion_id=97ad5448-a5c4-400a-84d2-aca81f77b965

I could attach the pictures from the ad (which are the seller's) that I have copied upon request.
Thank you very much for your help and time!

Please don't post the same question twice. It is confusing for us. The mini safari looks authentic. What a wonderful find!

Hi Authenticators,

I've fallen through the rabbit hole of vintage coach and I'm interested in the following styles of bags. Can you please determine if the following bags are authentic.

Hello!

Would you please have a look at this Hippie Flap? I thought the creed / number looked okay, but the zipper and state of the strap (maybe that happens with real leather—I just don’t know) have me second guessing myself. Is this a fake or a legit bag with a sad, failed zipper repair & strap needing TLC? I defer to your expertise. Thanks :smile:

Item: Hippie Flap C2P-9134
Link:https://poshmark.com/listing/Vintage-black-leather-crossbody-Coach-Bag-63a74f3e308f07a336d594d8
Seller: sharihb on Poshmark

Adding here my own photos of the creed, ugly zipper, and struggling strap

It's authentic. That is a sad zipper repair and it is unusual for the strap to get that bad.

Hi everyone and Happy New Year!

I was hoping to have these bags authenticated. I've been searching for a legacy west hobo for a while and have been getting a bit overwhelmed with confirming the authenticity which is when I found this thread! I've checked past posts for the same style but am concerned since the dimensions seem to be different form others listed.

Item: Legacy West Hobo
Seller: Worn in Worn Out
Site where listed: ebay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/225916850823
Measurements: 11”W X 8.5”H X 5.25”D

Item: Legacy West Hobo
Seller: MyPrivateCollection
Site where listed: mercari
Link: https:https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m30501348570/?ref=search_results
Measurements: ~11.5”W X 8”H X 5.5”D

Thanks :)

Bought this because I wanted a regular duffle in Mocha. I have center seam already. The bag is beautiful but the part of me that second guesses wonders if it’s legit. There appears to be a repair to the strap and the back of the pocket is finished leather rather than suede. Hoping my impulse buying is ok here. Adding the link to the original listing as well as my photo of the creed and my two areas of concern.

The listing doesn't show a picture of the creed for the bag (Abbie? if authentic) so I can't comment on the bag.

The wallet appears to be 6911. (Not sure of the name of the style.) It's similar to Bedford zip mini wallet (6997) but the male side of the snap is different, as is the zipper pull.

Comp from my records:

Hi, I am looking for authentification on one of the MANY unused bags listed on resale forums. This one happens to be on

Mercari
Item Title

Coach Pillow Tabby Shoulder Bag 26​

Seller

sarahgriffithL​

Listing number m11729803737 (I think, I wasn't sure where to find it)
link https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m11729803737/

Tabby bags are very closely faked. And I'm sure that the bag you've asked about from sarahgriffithL on Mercari is fake.

My first draft of a reply to your authentication request was asking for a number of additional pictures, most requesting WELL-focused straight on images. But after seeing the questionable parts and (possibly) attributing problems to lack of focus, angle, etc., I've come to the conclusion that the bag is fake.

I think you should return (if you've received the bag) or cancel the purchase.

I don't like to go into too much detail about what makes the bag fake because as I said, Tabby and other bags are scarily well-faked as it is and I don't want to help them perfect their errors but in addition to other problems I saw, this comparison is pretty obvious.

Compare the hangtag on the Mercari listing from sarahgriffithL (on the left) to the hangtag in Coach's stock photo of Tabby C0772. Especially notice the first "C." Both Cs have problems as well as "New York."
