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."

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:

Thank you. I'll post photos of the bag when it arrives.

According to catalog photo I found of the 6911, it was named simply "Mini Wallet".

We need to be able to see the full creed and serial number. The seller will have to prop the bag open and take a picture with an overhead light making the creed legible.

Hello,

Is this authentic? Thank you so much for your time. (First post not sure if I’m posting in correct place)

I’ve been trying to figure out if this is authentic. It’s in horrible shape but thrifted it for $5. I’ve done a bit of work to try to clean it up. The ‘style code’ is not correct for Lula’s legacy. But could it have been made pre-style codes?

Item: small black purse with flap in front. The creed states 0332 912. The 2nd pic is a good pic of the number. No letters or dash
Listing number: no listing number that I see
Seller: FB Market place. Please see link.

Comments please authenticate. I am interested but...not sure if real.
Thank you

If the serial number reads "G4D-9927" it's fake, sorry. 9927 is the style number for a Willis Bag, and the font in the serial stamping is completely wrong for any "Coach" with a 1994 year code.

Dear team, earlier I forgot to bring you my best wishes for 2024.
Hereby another request for your authenication support, and this time it has some clear red flags (including one mentioned a few posts above). Nevertheless, I would like to be sure...
I did buy it already (I checked, but not good enough. Today I checked again, and I see the writing on the wall now).
The straps have come loose and are tied with a knot (this is a defect, however fixable). I am able to return when fake, and will do so.

It seems to be an Everett-style bag, but with a very suspicious serial number.

Here it is:

Many thanks in advance, you are doing such great work and with so much commitment. Truly appreciated.

Hi! Can an authenticator take a look at this coin purse please? If authentic, any idea of the style name? Is the style number accurate and does the "F" signify it as an outlet item? Year this may have been released? Is there a photo to share? Thanks for your help!
