This one is good but the style is highly faked.

Thank you BeenBurned. I’ve seen a few fakes too - sigh…

Hi Authenticators, just recently purchased a Coach Manor bag via Instagram. The seller was very quick at responding and sent out the package quickly. However, after receiving the item, I did wonder if it is real or not...

Item: Coach Manor 9977
From where: https://www.harvest2018.tokyo/items/82170778
On instagram: shop_t_import
Comment: as sad as it may sound, I do love the design of the bag. Ideally, I hope the leather is at least real.

It's not necessary. I was able to see the other pictures in the listings.

Thanks to both of you - I appreciate your help!

Technically it's not "vintage" since it's not 20 years old yet. It was made in 2005.

Thank you Hyacinth! I just need to wait another year hehe

Genuine, made in 1996

Hi all! I’ve had my eye on this Willis bag that would be a bit of a fixer upper (my first!) and I wanted to be sure it was a genuine bag!

Item: Coach Willis bag
Mercari link: https://item.mercari.com/gl/m92001594311?sv=0
Seller: Kaits-thrifts


It has cat scratches on it that I’ve asked about in the rehabbing thread, and the listing states that the strap is not original which reflects in the price. The creed was throwing me off bc the “made in US” part was listed on the bottom instead of in the creed itself, but maybe since it’s a ‘94 bag and at the start of a new serial number system then some still look like the old creed? Thanks in advance for your help!

The bag is an authentic Basic Bag, style 9455. The leather patch with the serial number had been glued under the creed but as is sometimes the case, it fell off.

And is there any chance you can tell me when it was made? Or is that not possible?

 

[crazycatlady76]

Thanks, I agree 100%

Many sellers do the wrong thing in using Coach's copyrighted images and catalog pages in their listings. I don't think it's right that ANY seller use another seller's or another company's images, description, catalogs, etc.

Picked up a newer bag than I usually go for at the thrift shop… a small jes messenger bag. Would love an authentication please!

I can't see the listing but if had a glued in serial number, it was probably made between 1978-1983.
