Hi authenticators :smile:!
Is this bag genuine? To me it looks like a vintage soho bucket bag (I don't know the exact name).
place: belgian thriftstore site
style: 4156

Sorry, it's fake.

Belted pouches are highly faked and most of the fakes I've seen have copied the "correct" style number. It's something to be aware of in order to try to avoid getting a fake.
 
@crazycatlady76, I was just looking at your listing for a similar item/items and also at your previous question here a while back about the matching bag and who designed it. Why do you think it took some big-name artiste to design something like that? And why are you asking if it's genuine when you've had the same details posted on your listing for at least a month and declaring over and over that they're genuine?

Do you think Coach makes a habit of cheating professional artists out of the credit they deserve for their designs? Any collaboration they would have done would have been done legally and according to both US and Italian trademark and copyright laws, with any professional artist receiving full credit for their work. It's simply a bag with a few interesting splashes of color, for heaven's sake. There's no need to make it seem like it's part of a secret CULT trying to conceal some previously hidden genius designer of VINTAGE COACH bags. That's an insult to Coach. They may sometimes seem crazy, but they play by the Rules.

Speaking of Rules, I STRONGLY suggest that you READ THIS FORUM"S RULES. Linking to your own auctions is considered "advertising"and is prohibited. Page 5710, Post 85,649.


And please don't take up the time of this site's authenticators by asking questions that you already know the answers to.
I was only asking because the wristlet looks interesting and i thought it may be influenced by

Roy Lichtenstein’s Brushstrokes style. This isn't my auction, and i don't appreciate being attacked for asking a question.​

Hello! Would you please have a look at a couple of Spectators for me? I appreciate it.

Compartment Spectator (6850) in Black & Tabac - 1061-027 - I bought this on eBay some time ago, but the listing is long gone. According to my records, the seller was malepk_70 (no current listings, but I did just notice last night when grabbing a link that the single Coach bag they sold in recent months was a definite fake, which is a bummer).
Measurements: 9.5"x6.25"x2.25"
Photos:

Swagger Spectator (6820) in Bone & Tabac - 157-0931 - I bought this on the ShopGoodwill auction site a couple years ago, and the listing is essentially gone now (after a certain amount of time they stop hosting the photos, and they rarely have details—let alone correct ones—about the bags. This was one of those.)
Measurements: 11.75" x 7.75" x 3.5"

Both are authentic.

You got lucky that you even got the item from the first seller, malepk_70! With 57% feedback (and multiple negs indicating no shipping or late shipping), I'm surprised she's not NARU.
 
Hi Guys,

My concern with this one is the K4D-9929 creed. This same creed exists on this very thread for a GREEN one of these! 9929's are often faked/

I do not own this, I would like to buy if authentic. Facebook listing in Bay Area.

width 9.5"
height 13.4"
depth 7.6"

creed k4d-9929
Looks like a 2-sided fob

I know! Pretty shocking! I think I was a very early customer when they started in January 2022—looks like I got the best of the customer service they had to offer, and it all went downhill from there. :/

Thanks for checking the bags over for me!
 
Would you please have a look at two more for now? As always, I appreciate it.

Becket Zip (9920) in Mahogany - D4B-9920 OR D4D-9920 (I can’t be certain). I bought this on the ShopGoodwill auction site years ago, long enough that the listing is completely gone now.
Measurements: 11.5" x 9.5"(up the center—let me know if I should measure somewhere else) x 3.75"
Photos are below. I used the eyeshadow trick (learned lurking here!) to make the creed picture possible, but the text is all very faded/rubbed away, so it’s challenging to make out nonetheless. Let me know if you need me to try something else though, if that’s not sufficient.

Mini Bag Spectator (6925) in Black & Tabac - 0715-941 - purchased on Mercari in 2022 from user jorbren
Measurements: 7" x 6" x 2.5"
My photos are below (used the eyeshadow trick here too, though it wasn’t as bad):
