Item: Coach Willis

Hi all! An amazing poster on the Coach rehab thread pointed me towards this Willis bag and I wanted to check it through here to make sure it’s real! The X in its serial number does give me pause, but the person that pointed me to this post said that X is for the plant in the Dominican Republic. Appreciate your eyes on this and thanks in advance!

genuine, from 2002
Please remember seller IDs in requests: Poshmark brisas19

Although @Hyacinth authenticated the bag you asked about, I want to point out a problem with Poshmark, their sellers and a huge reason why I don't promote or authenticate their sellers or listings.

brisas19 also sold a number of fakes, quite obvious and had the seller taken a little time to verify her listings, buyers wouldn't have been scammed with fakes.

Mixers are even more dangerous than sellers who wouldn't know an authentic item if it bit them. Buyers tend to have a misplaced trust when they believe a seller has genuine items.
 
Hi! I’m on the hunt for a Bedford wallet. Based on what I’ve learned from PF, these look okay to me, but I’d really appreciate more expert eyes on them. Thanks!

I’m also wondering if anyone knows the style number of this wallet/if this is authentic, I can’t find another that looks like it.
 
Hi Authenticators!
May I ask if authentication on this bag? The suede side of the leather is throwing me off. Even/consistent texture is making me think it could be faux leather?? The suede side doesn't look natural.

Thank you very much in advance for your time.

Item: City bag
Where purchased or how obtained: Local consignment store
Comments: looks authentic but the leather feels like faux leather especially from the suede side?

I agree 100%. Poshmark is the WORST selling platform for buyers of vintage coach PERIOD.

Hi All,

Please could you help with this one. It’s in need of some care as it looks like it’s been well used.

Also if anyone knows the color? The hangtag is darker than the bag.

Model: Unsure
Size: 25cm x 23cm x 10cm
Purchased: Vinted UK

Thanks for any help you can give.
It's authentic. It's a classic pouch. It's hard to tell the color. I think once it is rehabbed, the color will look different. It might be putty.

Seller: longislandthriftyfinds on ebay

Comments: I think it’s a Sonoma but can’t find any bags that match the model number. Would love to know if it’s authentic and the year produced. Thank you in advance for any info/leads!
It's authentic. I answered you in the ID thread. looks like the small Sonoma drawstring #4905.
 
Hello, I am a Coach lover! I have bags that are vintage up to current. I am having trouble authenticating this bag. It is the Coach Swing Zip in Signature print. I own the all leather version and bought it from Coach. The style numbers are different but the creed looks the same. I have looked on over the web and there isn’t much about this bag. No reviews or videos just some short tik toks. Do the C’s look correct? How about the creed?

Thank you!

Coach Swing Zip.
Bought on eBay.
