Hello would like to know if you guys think this hangtag is authentic. It came from an authentic bag I purchased at a thrift store.

Although some hangtags are easier than others to ID as either authentic or fake, they're also pretty simple to fake so sometimes, definitively authenticating a hangtag can be tricky.

I believe the one you've shown is fine. (ETA: The chain may not be the original. It looks too gold to me.)

Other opinions are welcome.

I'm not seeing any problems.

Good evening authenticators! I read that this prefix and creed can sometimes be fake. I saw this exact number and creed on two Kits on EBay, but can’t find the other listing anymore. Is this one authentic?

Hello - first time poster, first time Coach vintage second hand buyer so would love some advice here. I know very little about authenticating bags but trying to absorb it all by lurking here. Thanks in advance for your help.

I found this bag at a local thrift store for $50. I’m hoping it is authentic because that is a lot of money for a fake! Also can you offer any guidance on what this bag is called? I tried searching the creed but didn’t come up with any answers so maybe this one is older than the model number creeds? Thanks for your help!

Measures 11.5” x 7.5” x 3”
Strap not adjustable, drop ~14”

Hi, I would love to get this green Back Sac from an online platform in Japan. But the Coach catalogue did not show that they sell this Back Sac in green. Please help me review this. Thank you very much!

Hello and good morning, authenticators! I’m curious as to whether or not this bag is genuine - I haven’t seen another Sonoma bag with a zipper on the side, and usually the serial numbers are 4938 from what I’ve seen, whereas this one is 4934. Thank you for any help!

It's an authentic convertible clutch made in the late 70s or 80s.

It's fine. I'm not seeing anything wrong with the hangtag, other than one side is stamped more deeply than the other.

The bullseye looks odd to me too but I'm not seeing any other problems. I think it is fine. More opinions are welcome.
