Item: coach crossbody vintage?
Bought from: goodwill

I’m skeptical of the authenticity because the leather is softer than my other 90s coach and also the stamp on the creed is very weak. Please help!

It's authentic.

Yay thank you! Any idea what H means?

H is the code for the US factory where the bag was made.

It's a Soho handle bag and was made in 1996.

Hi. I have found two identical bags, with identical date and plant codes, but the stamp font is different. I have never come across this before. One is on Poshmark Canada and the other is ebay in the US. Could someone have a look at them for me and let me know if they are both authentic. Thanks.

Hello everyone! I have a slightly interesting question. Somewhat similar to Aggravating Catch, I found 2 different bags, made in the same factory in the same month of the same year but one creed is the totally newer version post-1994 with the country of production in the wordings of the creed, whereas the other has 'made in the united states' at the bottom of the wordings. One has to be fake right? I wonder if it's possible for the factory to have used 2 totally different stamps at the same time for different bags. The one on Poshmark looks fine in my inexperienced eyes but ofc I could be wrong. On the other hand, the other one is authenticated by Vestiaire alrdy (although we know the authenticators sometimes make mistakes).

Wait for @whateve and @Hyacinth for opinions on that listing (from Traditionalbeauty_of_Japan). I'm a bit uncomfortable about the authenticity of that bag.

Although I'm not fond of either Poshmark or Vestiaire Collective, those 2 listings show authentic items..

Thanks BeenBurned! Yeah I can definitely see why these 2 platforms are not the most celebrated here.. So now I see that different bag models can have different stamps even when made in the same factory in the same month of the same year. But is it possible for the same model (same factory/month/year) to have 2 different stamp looks?

Just me trying to read up more on vintage Coach so that's why I have these questions. Thank you so much for your expertise C:

I'm thinking this is MAYBE because of the very obvious and unnatural looking crease marks

 

[Marjannie]

It's fake.

Thanks for the expertise and so glad I can rely on you all. Truly appreciated. Will notify seller btw. ⭐️💛⭐️💛

The creases are only one thing that bothers me.

Some factories had more than one stamp in use at the same time.
