Hello,

New here and would appreciate help on if this is authentic. Based on previous posts, I feel like the bag has a mix of an authentic creed and serial #, but haven't seen a lot of posts to confirm one way or the other. Thanks in advance.

This was purchased at a local estate sale. Looks to be Coach 9908 item.

It's a genuine Devon Bag made in 1994
 
Hi everyone,

I have already purchase this bag off ebay second hand.

It was listed as a Coach Tabby 26 7168 in brass/chalk and was purchased in the US. I am UK based and purchased from a UK seller. Unfortunately the seller has not included the receipt in the sale.

Would anyone kindly be able to give me their opinion on if the bag is authentic, the small clip off tag is giving me fake vibes and the inside pocket but I’m not sure

Serial number is no: A1981-73995

Zip Swing Pack in Black (6938) - no paper tag inside any pocket anywhere. I thought this might be one of the small bags that didn’t have one? I found its first catalog appearance in the Fall 1999 one. Is there any way to sort out when they stopped making them?

Item: Coach Vintage ergo 9033 mahogany
Listing number: N/A
Seller and site where listed: site- poshmark, seller- @sophiavintage
Link:https://posh.mk/45BzktmFgIb
Comments:my daughter really wanted a coach vintage ergo in mahogany. We received it today & I cannot tell if it’s real or fake. It passes the serial number tests, but I could argue either way on the printing of the creed, the weight of the bag, and the feel of the leather. Would love your
Thoughts.

It's authentic.
 
Hello, all!

After searching (and realizing there isn't anyone who does authentications in my area), a friend suggested I come here with my questions.

This year, I got a big promotion and I got engaged. My partner decided to buy me a present to celebrate (more details below). It arrived today! But, like I said, no one in my area authenticates. Which is too bad; the creed and serial number have me a little concerned. If anyone could give me some guidance, I would really appreciate it!

Item: 9790 City Coach bag No. C6I-9790
Listing Number: 63fccac1c3dbeea343835df0
Seller and Site: @priscillapaigeg, Poshmark
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/Vintag...ssbody-9790-City-Bag-65e773227dfcc2d78404f989
Comments: You can't view the listing anymore since we bought it. However, I've taken more than enough pictures to make up for that!

The measurements on the bag (which is kind of smushed and needs some TLC) are 11.5" x 8" x 4". I did notice that the straps had some thin, clear plastic layered between the leather too. I tried to take a picture of it but it just looked reflective. 20240325_230605.jpg20240325_230618.jpg20240325_221204.jpg20240325_230641.jpg20240325_230649.jpg

Thank you!
