This is the listing.


Sold items are usually still viewable on ebay, at least for a few months after the sale.
It's authentic. Court bag made early 90s.
 
Hello Authenticators,

When you are able please could you take a look at this Coach Vintage Patricia Legacy. Thanks so much. Your time is very appreciated.

Item: Coach 9951

Listing number: 156655418431

Seller/site: eBay twintops21

Link: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15665541...TMMG93YSfK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

notes: I know Patricia Legacies are often faked and not sure about the creed spacing/font but I was drawn in. The hardware and leather look thick and chunky. With some research, I found this bag was reissued in 04/05 and I know Coach moved most production to China in 01. But I’m likely being overly optimistic. Obviously, expert knowledge would be appreciated. Thanks again.
It's authentic, made in 2005, so technically not vintage until later this year. 2001 China bags are comparable to other vintage bags but around 2004-2005 things changed. The leather and type of dye used might not be the same as on older bags.

ETA: Wow, that price!
 
Hello authenticators! I’m hoping to get help with authenticating this purse I bought off depop. Here is the link


@ erikeriksson

Item: Devon Coach Purse
Comments: I thought I did my due diligence and the creed and serial number both looked good, but after receiving the bag, I’m not sure if it is. It doesn’t feel like real leather. More so a smooth plastic. Please let me know if there is anything else you may need from me. Thank you so much for your help!

As long as the bag you received is the one in the pictures shown in the listing, the bag is authentic.

That’s honestly such amazing news. Maybe I should trust my instincts more! Thanks so much. The price was so good, hence why I grabbed it before I should have. The risk paid off. Yay.
 
Hello!

I bought this and was wondering if it is fake or not? When I do a google image search it looks like the model is called Taylor and the creed modelnumber should be 9944. However mine has a different number.


Approximately 10.5x7.5

The bag is authentic.

In 1994, Coach changed the formatting of their serial numbers by assigning numbers that indicated production information and style the style number. Your bag was made prior to 1994 at a time when random serial numbers were used.
