Hello! I’m at an estate sale and interested to get an opinion on this station bag. The serial number and placement of the creed seem weird to me. Thanks for any opinions you can share!
Sorry for the delay. It's fine.

ETA: before 1994 bags had unique serial numbers. Some of them made in the early 90s had an XXXX-XXX number format, like this one. Many station bags have the creed stamped inside the front pocket instead of the back wall.
 
Hello Authenticators! Could I ask you please to take a look at this bag? Many thanks. 🙏🙏

Item: Ali 65th Anniversary w/ Legacy Lining #10329
Source: I’d rather hold off on sharing as I may want this one, assuming it’s authentic, if that’s ok. Happy to share after I purchase or decide to move on (and if it’s fake).
Comments: Most of it looks right to me. But white creed and zipper pull? Also the other ‘06 creeds I’ve seen for these bags are the ones that specify made in China and whether it’s burnished or vachetta. I can’t find any references to 69 being a China plant. But also very possible there were variations on these 65th creeds and I’ve just not seen enough of them yet.

Thank you!!

AUTHENTICATE This COACH

Please post authenticity questions related to COACH in this thread.

Note: The PurseForum requests that only members with an extensive knowledge of the brand and authenticating who have over 500 posts participate as authenticators in this AT thread. The moderators reserve the right to remove authentications that do not meet these requirements.


Please follow the following rules:


  • Before you submit a request for authentication, please search this thread to make sure that the item has not previously been authenticated. This is not a thread to ask general questions about COACH, please refer to our main Coach forum for such information.
  • This is a free service, but it is imperative that you help our authenticators by using the following format:

    Item:
    Listing number:
    Seller:
    Link:
    Comments:


  • If the bag in question is not on an auction site, please use the following:

    Item Name (if you know it):
    Link (if available):
    Then attach any photos (all authentication must include photos.)
    • Please be sure to include a clear readable photo of the creed stamp and serial number from inside the bag or accessory if there is one, and the bag's measurements when the bag is an older or vintage leather Coach.
    • Since mid-2014, Coach stopped putting serial numbers on creeds so in newer bags where the creeds don't have serial numbers, we also need to see pictures of the labels/tags from inside the bag. They are either both in the main open part sewn into the seam of the lining, or one might be buried deep inside the zipper pocket. One shows where made and the other has a serial number.
  • Authenticators are not required to answer every request and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format.
  • Please note that comments on price and condition are NOT permitted.
  • Do NOT PM an authenticator or moderator to request authentication. Any and all such requests should be posted in this thread.
  • Should one of your items be questioned in this thread, you are welcome to provide additional pictures or materials supporting its authenticity.
  • Do not handle your disputes with other members in this thread but take your differences to Private Messages. Failure to do so can result in banning.
  • Please utilize the "Quote" feature when responding directly to another post.

I have this briefcase in my possession and I wonder if it is a super vintage Coach? It does not have a creed and no branding anywhere but leather and hardware looks like vintage Coach and quality overall is amazing. Please let me know what you think?

Quick ETA: I did at least find references to 69 being a China plant code. Thanks in advance for your help with this one, as always!! 🙏🙏🙏

That wasn't made by Coach. There are several details that don't match Coach construction.

Item: Coach Weekender (No code)

Source: A friend of mine bought these from a thrift store and according to the shop owner, this coach bag is before the era that coach has stamping on their bags.
Would like some gurus to provide some thoughts on whether this may be authentic.

Would be great if u could identify which series are these from if they are authentic.

Thank you!!

Sorry but the shop owner is wrong. The bag is fake. It looks like a Korean-made fake.
