Item: Vintage Coach 9965 Black Leather Legacy Small Flap Turnlock Shoulder Bag
Listing number: 395798305969
Seller and site where listed: harlowestateservices on eBay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/395798305969
Comments: BIN- is a fake prefix, right? eBay said they looked at my report and didn't find it to be in violation.
I'd seen it and it was fake but the listing has now been removed.

Dear authenticators, could I kindly trouble you to have a look at this?

Item: Coach vintage cosmetic case 7172
Listing number: n/a
Seller and site where listed: cares.my on Carousell
Link: https://www.carousell.com.my/p/coac...bag-1326025981/?t-id=MpLKssYYhG_1728618435739
Comments: I bought it in a hurry and just realized there's no creed in the inner leather pocket. Most of the examples I've seen had creeds w/o serial numbers, but I have also seen a few other examples of listings with no creeds (of course no idea if authentic or fake): example 1 example 2
Seller never claimed it is authentic but is willing to return and refund if it's fake.

Adding additional photo I took of the inside:

My opinion is that the pouch is authentic.

In my files, I have several examples of this pouch. I have only one example of this item with a creed and serial number and it's an obvious fake. I have a few other examples of pouches with creeds but no serial number. Both of the examples you showed of the pocket sans creed appear to be genuine also.

I just want to comment on your statement that the seller "never claimed it is authentic." That doesn't give a seller a free pass. Items MUST be authentic and claiming ignorance of authenticity or disclaiming knowledge of authenticity is irrelevant. Items MUST be genuine.


ETA: I just found another fake with a creed and serial number to add to my files!

Noted on this! Thank you so much. Also yes, you're right, sellers should not even be selling anything they aren't sure is authentic. Thank you for the reminder!

Hi authenticators, am wondering if a coach bag with no creed and a stick out made-in label inside bag signify a fake?

Item : Coach Park Swingpack Brown Pebbled Leather Crossbody-Bag Purse Shoulder Bag
Seller : mruthvela


TIA for your time and advice.
Smaller items often don't have creeds. It appears authentic.
