Hi Whateve! Thanks for the other authentications!

By ‘bar’ i meant that under the top flaps (ie the flaps that close off the top of the bag) there seem to be impressions of ‘bars’ under each flap on the mahogany terrace and then only under one of this terrace. I’m not sure if this is a difference between the ‘92 and ‘97 models (the two years i’m aware they ran this).

As for the fold ins, I’m not aware if you have to fold in the Terrace? But where it seems so natural on the mahogany one, this one resists it, when I try to fold it like the mahogany, it’ll sort of look like it’s about to tear where it’s supposed to fold. It’ll revert back to the state it looks like right now.

Is it possible that it’s been wet and just formed like that? Or is it an error in development?

You're welcome.

I think the original owner may have preferred them unfolded. I think you have train them to fold. I bet you could do it if you dunked. Do you think the bars are reinforcement to keep them flat? They often made minor changes in design over time.

I'm leaning towards authentic. It is unlikely the creed could be that perfect and I've seen another one with a similar snap imprint.

I don't know. There is a mistake on the creed and the date code seems a bit early for the style. More opinions are welcome.

Sorry. I don't know for sure either.

I'm leaning towards authentic. I think it is probable the factory just made a mistake because the style was new.

Another consignment item. Owner says received as gift, and doesn't like style. Is this an authentic Coach Cassie Crossbody in Oxblood? I know it is a frequently faked bag--and don't want to make available for sale without authentication.

Approx 10" wide, 7.75" high, 2.75" deep. Strap drop adj from 20.5" to 23".

Thanks so much for taking a look! Hope you're enjoying this holiday weekend!

Hello All,

I just made a snap decision and purchased what I believe to be a Station Bag, but I acted in haste as I didn’t register the unusual serial number before I hit the buy button 🫣. I was wondering if anyone can help me before the seller sends it to me. I attach the sellers pictures.

Style - Station
Colour - Mahogony
Site - Vinted UK
Seller - charlottehardy12

Thank you 🤞

I think it looks good. There is a mistake on the creed but we've seen that before from this plant. The strap looks like it was taken off a Willis. The original Station bag strap is skinnier.

Hi,

Coach basic bag (mahogany) and legacy zip (British tan). Both Ebay finds.

I was wondering if these are both authentic. But I was also curious if anyone can tell if the spots/stains on the bags are mold?

Both are authentic. I’m not a rehabbing expert and cannot say what the stains are.

Remember for online purchases, we need the seller's ID and links to the listings.

The stain on the legacy zip looks like a spill of some kind. The spots on the basic bag look like mold.

Do you know about our rehab club? https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/coach-rehab-and-rescue-club.833400/

Sorry. It's fake.

Be very careful with Tabby bags. It's more common that they're fake than that they're authentic.
