Hi everyone I have two bags that need authentication.

Both have been bought in a thrift store and not online.

Here is the first it says made in India inside View attachment 6111257View attachment 6111258View attachment 6111259View attachment 6111260View attachment 6111261

Next bag, it does not contain the little coach tag, assuming it broke off. Has tarnishing on the gold. View attachment 6111262View attachment 6111263View attachment 6111264
Both look fine. Next time take a picture of the made in tag.
 
Hello Authenticators! Would you please take a look at this one at your convenience? Thank you!! 🙏🙏

Item: Madison Satchel Large #9765
Source: https://shopgoodwill.com/item/218499036
Comments: The zipper seems unusual for 80s, it’s more delicate. See pics. ETA: Found a couple old threads about Scovill zippers. Interesting. Though I’m fine if it is, there is zero sign of zipper replacement on this bag.

Hello authenticators! I’m back with another coach bag because I just can’t resist. Before I buy, is this an authentic Willis? These are the only pictures listed but I could maybe ask for better pictures if needed. Once again, thank you for your services!
Link to listing: https://www.facebook.com/share/1Bz7TXU9p1/?mibextid=wwXIfr
Creed: 15?8-326 (I can’t make out what is supposed to be in place of the question mark).

I found this vintage orange (rust?) bag. Thank you for taking a look and authenticating.
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/Vintage-Coach-crossbody-651b59eda0aeb715908974f9
Item: Vintage Coach Crossbody
Poshmark, seller: heatherdh93
Serial: C0K-9459, no measurements given.
Comments: The lettering spacing looks wonky...but I saw several other examples of this bag online and they were all like that. No space between "Cowhide" and "It." And a ginormously underscored circle in the "No."

It's authentic. (FYI, she has another Willis in black that's also genuine.)

It looks fine.
 
Thank you! I was planning on getting the other Willis as well but I was more familiar with that one’s serial number. Is the reason the tan Willis’ serial number xxxx-xxx format because it’s from 1993?
Yes. Prior to 1994, Coach used random serial numbers that weren't indicative of the style or production information.

Hello! Found this little cute guy at my local thrift store. I was wondering if you guys think it’s authentic.
