Hi Authenticators - a listing I'd appreciate you taking a look at. If authentic, do you have a style name/ number, photo, etc to share? There is no "Made In" marking as I've noticed on some similar pieces. Would that affect the authenticity?
Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge!

It looks okay.
 
Hi Authenticators
Can someone take a look at this listing and weigh in? The cosmetic pouch might be style 6988 but I've not seen a pebbled coin case like this one. Do you have any info to share if the coin case is authentic?
I've attached a separate photo of the bottom markings from the seller - top logo is the coin case, bottom logo is the cosmetic pouch.
Thank you!

Both seem fine.

The cosmetic case can be 6987, 6988 or 6989. The seller doesn't have measurements so it's impossible to know which it is.

Thank you. Seller photos show a Coach patch on the inside which made me think it's likely style 6988. Style 6987 pouches I've seen don't have the patch.
Any idea what the coin case could be?
 
It may be a Saddle Pouch, these photos are from the Fall 1985 Coach Catalog. The bag came in 2 sizes and several colors, nice find!

One of the first vintage coach bags that I worked on was a Standard Size Saddle Bag 9590. It was in rough shape but I learned a lot from rehabbing that bag! See link below:

Thank you so much for this useful information on the bag and how to get it back into shape! I did purchase the bag today based on the outcome (if all goes well). I will certainly restore it and will take a good look at your instructions and browse around other rehab posts. And I will certainly post questions if I need more guidance.

I honestly hope the bag is not as moldy and moist as yours was at the time. But we will see. I am still very new at this, so I will move very carefully and it will take my time tp prepare. But I will make sure to post on PF when worth it 🤞

Glad to help, it's a lovely bag! When you receive your bag post it in the Rehab and Rescue Club (see link below) and the rehabbers will be happy to give you advice.

I was new to rehabbing when I tackled my Saddle Pouch and I hadn/t spent much money on it so it was easy for me to take risks. Now there is new information about using a vinegar/water rinse to prevent mold. I hope that you will love your beautiful, vintage bag!

 
Hello wonderful authenticators, I’m hoping to acquire my first Coach soon and hoped you could check out a few for me?

All are fine.
 
Hello again - I am embarrassed about this one so I really appreciate your help.

Item: Coach Signature Denim Tabby

Seller: Rakuhashi on EBay

Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/4047355517...wHcGh_RTeK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Measurements: 10 1/2" (L) x 6 1/2" (H) x 3 1/2" (W)

I apologize the “made in” tag pic is blurry. Please let me know if you need any more pictures.

Thank you.
I'm sorry but it's fake.

I strongly recommend against buying Coach from sellers in Japan.

Go to your order and open a return claim for not as described.
