Hi everyone!

I recently purchased my first Coach bag on Vinted (UK), however upon closer inspection I think it might be a counterfeit :(. I'd really appreciate your help in authenticating this bag.

Item: Black 9071 shoulder bag
Site: Vinted UK
Link: no longer valid/available
Comments: stitching appears uneven and messy. Overall finishing of bag is not perfect. Dimensions 12 x 6.5 x 3.5 inches. Serial number K3H 9071. Did not come with hangtag (lost by previous owner).

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, it's fake. "K3H-" is a recognized always fake serial number prefix.

There's no way to prove that it's a Coach. Hangtags can be changed or added in seconds or minutes and don't prove anything about an item's authenticity.

It's also a strange design for a Coach. There's no way to wear it or carry it on its own and no way to attach a strap (the hole the hangtag hangs from is a bit low on the side of the bag AND a bit too small for a clip type wrist strap), and if you carried it in a handbag or even with a wrist strap, anything inside the pouch could easily fall out. I've never seen a Coach designed like that, but wait for other opinins. The turnlock is also not the design used by Coach.

I agree, it's a weird shape. I think it is trying to be a city fob but it has too many problems.

So sorry, I saw this come up but it sold before I could report it. That said Vinted may not have done anything anyway.

Hi authenticators! :smile:
I was planning to bid in this auction, and I was wondering if it is possible to authenticate these 3 bags from the pictures given in the post?
Seller: Monoshare (80354)
Site: eBay
Number: 315145609550
Link: https://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/315145609550
Thanks a lot for your help 🤗

I'm sorry, I can't read any of the creeds.

Ooo it’s okay, I was already suspecting that. I’ll see if it’s possible form more pictures.
Thanks a lot :smile:
Sometimes I believe sellers post blurry pictures on purpose either because they know items are fake or because they don't know but they've had a history:

Japanese sellers are not skilled at authenticating Coach, whether vintage or newer.
