I have no idea. It looks like a Frankenbag! It is a poor design. You can't put weight-bearing handles on a flap that closes with a snap and expect it to stay closed when you carry it. I can't imagine Coach would dream up that bag, even as a sample. The creed looks suspect. I probably wouldn't report it but I wouldn't buy it.

Very cute! Is there a made in tag sewn into the lining?

I believe it's genuine, possibly a style 6548 Hamptons Weekend Pouch. Here's the Wayback Machine page from the middle 2000 decade.

Thank you! My apologies, it’s my first day on this forum, thank you. Can I also get this Coach 9951 bag is real.

Seller: kellie2solid

It's fake.

 

[LunaLago]

Could I please ask about this Coach which I believe to be a Whitney. The dimensions are 30cm wide by 34cm deep. I received yesterday from Vinted (UK). Here are the pictures…

Hi! I'm so glad this resource exists as I'm just starting my vintage Coach journey. Thanks in advance for any and all help!

FOR ITEMS NOT LISTED ONLINE:
Item: Unsure of name, but small flap bag with adjustable strap
Where purchased or how obtained: NYC estate sale
Comments: Before I knew anything about vintage Coach (not that I know a ton now), I bought this bag at an estate sale here in NYC. When I started learning about the creed, I was bummed and figured mine was a very nice fake, but it only cost me $10. Then, I read about the pre-creed early bags and the little metal tags they used to have and hope bloomed...is there any way to authenticate and identify this bag? I think it was originally navy or black, but it's hard to say. There is a bit of overlap and odd, wonky stitching in one place on the strap and on the bottom. Happy to provide more pictures if necessary!

Oh my goodness! You must be the most patient person in the world!

In the future, don't wait over 3 months if your request was skipped. You can bump it after 24 hours!

I don't recommend Poshmark and Depop because both sites and sellers seem to be unresponsive to reports but I'll comment on the listings since you've waited so patiently!

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

Item: K4m-4140 (Lafayette?)
Where purchased or how obtained: thrift store
Comments: dimensions are 10 1/2" height, 11 1/2" width, almost 5" depth. I checked my authentication requests and did not locate a request for this bag. I believe I purchased this before joining or even being aware of tpf. I am going through my purchases from the very beginning and this is one of at least two that I am questioning. Thank you!!!

Sorry. That bag is fake.

Sorry. That bag is fake.

Thank you @BeenBurned for sharing your time and knowledge with me this afternoon! I appreciate it! You also confirmed my suspicions. It was during a period when I was finding several Coach looking bags with gorgeous leather but no Coach markings. This one has gorgeous leather however 2 things stood out that I thought were incorrect for Coach. Thanks!!!
