Hello, I’m interested in a COACH jacket, but before purchasing, I’m looking for some guidance in seeing if the jacket is authentic. Thanks in advance

I have some concerns but I'll hold off posting them pending additional pictures.

I'd like pictures showing the reverse side of the tag with the style name, number and bar code as well as a picture of the full back of the jacket.

I'll state up front that I've seen Grailed "authenticated" items that weren't authentic so I'm not apt to blindly trust their COA.

Thank you for the response. I asked for the additional pictures and the seller added them to the listing. But already something seems off.. The new picture showing the barcode tag seems to be from another jacket, the COACH label on that collar is black while the one from the first pictures is white.

Another eBay purchase came in, and I would love an opinion before gifting to my sister (think I’ve got her roped in like I am now 😅). I’ve attached additional pictures upon receiving it.

Item: Soho Mini Hobo Bag, serial number is A3K-6351
Seller and site where listed: starseed369 from eBay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/3962197791...qx-fpaktm6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Comments: I noticed the strap didn’t come with the stitched handle on top. On some listings I see it, on others I don’t. I’m not sure if some models just didn’t have it, or somehow the handle came off over time.

The bag is authentic. It does look like they used different straps with and without shoulder pads.

I've noticed a number of problems with the original pictures/listing. And now that you've added more pictures, I'm seeing more issues.

I'd want to know from the seller why the picture of the neck tag in the listing is white and the new picture she sent shows a black neck tag. I'd also want to know why she's showing different jackets.

1. The similar (but different style number) style on Coach's website (CL264) doesn't have a creed on the back.
2. The first picture shown in the listing is NOT the same jacket as the second picture.
3. The "creed" shown on the jacket in the listing has a style number 11695 which appears to be the style number of a different Coach jacket, a down one.
4. The style number on the creed shown in the listing shows as 11695 but the white tag shows C0918.

4. The new picture showing the tag info does look correct for the style but I don't understand why there's a creed with a different text and style number.

Compare:

^^^^^ Picture in listing ^^^^ ^^^From down jacket ^^^^ similar jacket from Coach website



Compare the pattern placement above the creed vs. the picture she added showing the back of the jacket:

EDIT: I found this listing from a Japanese seller. I have similar/same concerns about the authenticity of the ebay listing. (Japanese sellers are not good at authenticating Coach and for newer styles (last 5-6 years), their fakes are extremely close.

(Where is the Grailed seller located?) Just curious.

I can't help with the first one but the black one is authentic. It was called Legacy small pocket zip.
