Hello! First post, looking to get a vintage Court off of FB marketplace. Are either of these authentic?

1st Item: brown coach Court
Listing number: na
Seller and site where listed: He Zhang, fb marketplace
Link:https://www.facebook.com/share/fcboZQPRbq9GxWak/?mibextid=79PoIi

2nd: brown coach Court
Seller/site: FB marketplace
Link: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1024298742141783/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v

Both are fine.

In the future, if you need to amend the information in your request, please quote your first request so we realize they are both for the same item. When the thread is busy with requests, it is really hard to keep track of which requests have been addressed.

I appreciate you realizing that you needed to post the link. The bag is authentic and it is a Baxter made 1989-1993.

Yes the first post I made I saw the bag on an app Vinted. And then I put the picture in Google like I read here that you could do that and I found out it was on this website too, so that’s why 🤗

Thanks a lot for your help, in the future I will do this with all the bags I find online, so I can provide you guys a link and more information 😀

Wow that's brilliant. Good on 'em.

Agreed. For the last couple of years, I pass up GW. It's just gotten too expensive and it's all junk. I totally went in on a fluke the other day and found the Swagger. It used to be such a fun place to go to because it didn't break the bank. A reward for going to a doctors or dentist's appointment. But high prices for pilled, out of shape fast fashion? It's become a joke.

The Swagger will be so great because I really like a full zip for security. I think tabac trim is just so sharp. I really appreciate you guys authenticating this.

Thanks everybody.

I got a very old Swagger last year & it cleaned up well - a beautiful BT. It's such a serviceable style; zip for security, not real big but holds quite a bit, & very under-the-radar. Like you're wearing the crown jewels but only the few "initiated" know. Your spectator is a real eye-catcher. Lucky you!

Hello authenticators ☺️
Would you be so kind to help me with this bag please ?

My sister in law found it in a thrift store last weekend.

Hi! Thanks for answering my post. I'll ask her to send me more and better taken pictures. I haven't seen this purse in person but now that you mentioned it, looks like a different bag in the first two photos. As soon as she sent me what you request I'll reply this post.

Thanks to you 💖

Hi! Thanks for answering my post. Honestly I'm not sure anymore. At first it seem to me like pictures from the same purse but probably you're right. It does look like two different bags. I'm sorry for not having more photos at this moment, I'll ask my sister to send me a few better taken ones.

Thanks ! 💕

@MissDorbyFlo

I'm really curious.

Have you checked with your sister and received more pictures yet?

I went thrift store shopping again today and checked the glass case at Goodwill and found about 8 Coach bags. One was a pretty old vintage. This week any purple tags are 50% off and I liked this patchwork Coach handbag and it had a purple tag so I got half off $40.00.
Aprox. 12"x9" with a 5" length strap.
Could I get this bag authenticated? also how would I go about cleaning this bag? I want to wipe it down good with something but not sure what I should use.

I just bought this one too! Don’t know if it’s authentic, though, any help would be appreciated!

I found this little leather bag for $25 while thrifting recently. The leather is amazingly supple, especially considering the TLC it so desperately needs lol, & the stitching is very nice also. From the small amount of research I’ve done, everything comes up as it being a vintage Coach “Kent” bag. However, I’m not convinced that it’s authentic.

So ladies, what do you think? Did I score a heck of a deal for $25, or is it just a nice little “ordinary” leather bag lol?
TIA! 👜👛😊

Unfortunately, NONE of the hardware is the correct design or shape for any Coach vintage bags, the zipper pull especially. The serial number also has a serious problem.

Welcome to TPF.

Please see Vlad's yellow post at the top of this page and every page of the thread. It tells the information and pictures we need for authentication requests.

Hi! I purchased this handbag on eBay, and while I've gotten one opinion that it's authentic, I could use a second. Thanks in advance! Here is the info:

Item: Coach Sheridan Mayfield bag
Place: eBay
Measurements: ~9.5" x 6.5"
Photos: see attached

Hello all,

Newbie here from the UK. I’ve done a lot of reading but can’t seem to find the answer to this one, so was wondering if you could help me please.

I have two vintage Coach bags made in the US with a plant code of manufacture showing in the 3rd digit as a ‘6’. Would this be possible. The other details seem correct but this is confusing me.

Appreciate any help.

Thank you 🙏
