Hi, this #7219 Multi-Function Purse was just authenticated as authentic on the eBay Handbag forum and I have my doubts. Actually I have many doubts. This isn't authentic is it? The authenticator is a top authenticator there, Albertabrightalberta.
Please help:

Is this Vintage Coach coin purse wallet real?

At first I thought it was but the more I looked the more I thought I needed to have you guys take a look. If you would please?

community.ebay.com

I went back to look at those photos again and I may have made a mistake. The details Alberetabrightalberta mentioned in her new post aren't shown in that catalog photo I posted, and that's the only photo I have as a reference. During my years at Ebay I learned to value Alberta's opinions on Coach items highly, so if she noticed specific problems, I would suggest reconsidering buying that item.

Hi everyone, I'm considering to purchase this bag from a seller on Carousell, 1st bag is the one she listed that I think has no issue (I THINK), 2nd bag is the one that has me abit confused:

1) 10577 Soho, Site: Carousell, Seller: nosuchnik

https://carousell.app.link/Nv6A4W5JEKb

2) 10328 legacy, Site: Carousell, Seller: nosuchnik



Comments: She shared with me that she has another Coach for sale but my concern is that the creed label is in white when normally it would be in black/dark brown

Would appreciate if I can get some much needed input with regards to authenticity. Thank you so much, as always.

Well thank you. So you say you 'May' have made a mistake, just to clarify here...Albertabrightalberta said she 'May' have made a mistake also. I'd just like to know if this SLG is counterfeit as you both have said at one point its authentic. Does 'May' mean its counterfeit, or 'May' be authentic?
Thank you

I'm not seeing a creed picture for the Soho. I have seen Legacy bags with white creeds in brown bags, so I think that one is okay.

Hello! I was browsing listings and something on this one caught my eye. I'd love your opinions on it authenticity.

Item: COACH Vintage Penny Pocket Purse CROSSBODY SHOULDER BAG 9755 Bone Ivory
Listing number: 285885924013
Seller: loraowen
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2858859240...1kcR6EEQlK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Comments: It looks to me that the overstamping may have been faked. The "dots" above the 5s look like just that - dots with a distinct upper edge, rather than the bottom of a vertical line. They also seem to have their own overstamp. The line above them seems far too low to be the cross bar of a 4.

Have any of y'all seen this before? What do you think?

Many thanks,
A. M.

Since I don't have photos of those details from a confirmed genuine item, I' can't say either way. Any of our other authenticators who have photos or the actual item need to take a look.

My own files (nearly 100K images) have many various examples of genuine items, counterfeit items, probably counterfeit items, and items that are probably genuine. The probably counterfeit and probably genuine ones are those that the details are either right or wrong but at the time I'd saved those records, there hadn't been enough examples to determine (at the time) definitively whether they're no longer "probably" but would likely be "definitely."

There are genuine items that I wouldn't buy for resale because of anomalies that would make them difficult to sell and/or difficult to prove authenticity. Personally, I will only purchase items that I'm 100% sure are authentic or that I can confirm as being authentic.

With regard to the multi-function case asked about in post #89,196, I've looked at the pictures on ebay and agree with Alberta that there are enough problems with it that it's likely to be fake, and if authentic, certainly not one I would buy. (I'm glad she looked more closely at the pictures and reconsidered her opinion.)

I will say that if that item is fake (and the other poster on ebay seems convinced of inauthenticity), it's the first time I've EVER seen a fake multifunction purse. I've seen a LOT of fake chunky cases and skinny cases but never this one and never a fake with the "correct" keyholder.

Hope this helps.
