Hello authenticators! I'm hoping to purchase a gift for my mom who's done so much for me my whole life but the past two years specifically. She's been wanting a Coach saddlebag for decades now and I came across these two listings. Would love to know if they are authentic!

Item: Coach Saddle Crescent Bag 9988
Listing number:305246696998
Seller and site where listed: province-216 (ebay)
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/305246696998

Item: Coach Saddle Crescent Bag 9988

Good evening, I just wanted to double check that I've provided all the required information in my post earlier this afternoon. Thank you in advance!

Item: 3 Coach Bags + small crossbody
Seller and site where listed: Listed on shopgoodwill.com
Link: https://shopgoodwill.com/item/188997468
Comments: I was able to ask the selling store if they could send me some more pictures of the creeds. I honestly have no idea what to think of them, so I need a little bit of help. Outside of the pictures on the listing, I'll attach the additional images of the creeds.
image 1: for peyton carryall (?)

image 2: for the brown pebbled leather handbag, this is honestly such a bad picture, i'm sorry i can't provide a better one

image 3: for the large tote- this one i was really not too sure about

Unfortunately the small crossbody did not have a creed I was sent at least. I only bought this listing for the peyton carryall, and to sell the rest of them, but if they're inauthentic, I don't want to waste anyone's time or money. I know the pictures aren't great but let me know what you guys think! Thanks

YKK zippers can NEVER prove whether or not a Coach is authentic. Read my Signature under all my posts. The "YKK Myth" was proven false 20 years ago. Wherever you're getting that bad information, please ignore it.

Genuine, looks like a 9853 Binocular Bag from around 1992.

Please remember to include measurements.

Thank you!

Sorry for the measurements oversight, will definitely include for any futures! Thanks!

All 4 items are fine.

Swingpacks (and other smaller items) may or may not have creeds and those with creeds may or may not have serial numbers. I don't see any issues with the one shown in the Goodwill listing.


Be aware that Goodwill often uses Entrupy or another authentication company and such listings will show COAs (certificates of authenticity). If you're buying from Goodwill, verify authenticity even if there's a COA since we've seen dozens of mistakes in which fakes were deemed authentic.

It looks fine.

Thank you very much!

Thank you. Genuine Small Hippie Flap made in 2002

Thank you, Hyacinth! These vintage red bags seem to have become really popular; hard to find them reasonably priced.

The bag looks fine.

I have no idea what the "T" is for. Some cabin bags were given as a promotional freebie with Lexus purchases and have "L" after the style number.

I think this item might have been a bonus with some other purchase but I don't know what it would be.

Thank you so much for the reply! That is so interesting, would love to know what it was a bonus for if so

Hi I’m out thrifting and this store doesn’t take returns! I found two vintage coach bags but the stamps are a little different. I’m wondering if you all could help me authenticate them with kinda bad pictures 🤣
This is the first one - large daypack
Serial:L93-9791
The leather and turnlock are very nice but the stamp is so thick! Thank you!!
