Would you please authenticate this new Coach vintage cosmetic case number 7172? Thank you.

Item: NWOT COACH Vintage Large Cosmetic Case 7172 British Tan Glovetanned Leather USA
Listing number: 205291542438
Seller: carissafinds
Site where listed: eBay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/205291542438

Comments: The listing says that it is new, but I wonder if the bullseye means that it was sold for less? It seems like it might be a good deal if it's new, right? This seller seems to have a lot of new items listed.

Do you know approximately when it was produced? Thank you.
Cosmetic cases are very hard to authenticate but I think it is okay. Yes, a bulleye means it was sold at an outlet. This type of case was made in the late 90s, probably between 1996 and 2000.
 
Hi recently just bought a bag from this seller on Poshmark and was wondering if its real.
  • Item: Coach Poppy Shoulder Bag (I think)
    Listing number: n/a
    Seller: thesassysourcer
    Link: https://posh.mk/PJX5HcBybTb
    Comments: She claims its real from the 2000s but I’m not sure.
It's not from 2000s. It was probably made around 2011. I think it looks authentic. More opinions are welcome. @BeenBurned

The seller claims this style doesn’t come with a hang tag but I’ve seen other listings with one, is she incorrect? Thanks in advance!
Seller is incorrect. This style did originally come with a 1941 hang tag. I don't see any red flags but I can't see the full creed patch with the serial numbers. Please request seller to post a clear legible pic of the entire creed patch.

Hello. Can you please let me know your opinion on this coach bag. I purchased it and the returned it because
a. They sent a different number. See pic.
b. The brass verdigris was painted on or covered with glue.
c. The pattern seemed off. I am uploading a few pics.

I may of sent back a legit bag...

Seller: modern_japan

Thank you for your opinion.


Also wanted to add that when I asked her why she sent the wrong bag, she said she had 2. I had never seen a Limited Edition. It just didnt smell like leather? But it was cute. Oh well.
I think it's authentic.

It's pretty rare a style so it's surprising that they had 2 of the same style of a limited edition item.


Here's another of the same style, #680 of 1000.

and #482/1000

Hello!

My friend has been bit by the vintage Coach bug…but didn’t ask me, or you guys, for help before buying her first bag. It showed up today and she brought it to me. Can you please authenticate? The leather feels…a little stiff, not buttery and squishy like most of my coach bags. I also noticed that the creed patch has Coach Leatherware raised, with the background in relief, rather than the opposite which I’m not sure about.

She bought it on eBay. This listing:
https://ebay.us/m/I7Go0N.

I’ve taken some other photos as well. Please excuse my messy desk…🥴

Thanks for your expertise!

The bag is fine. The creed is correct.

Hi all,

I've been handed down this beautiful vintage Coach purse by my mom. I'd love to know if it's real or not as she had a few fake purses in her collection.

Item: Coach 9980 Taft Bag
Where purchased or how obtained: My mom
Comments: Code 9980, made in USA

They are often faked but I think yours is authentic.

thank you! Do you need more pictures to say for sure? I'm hoping to sell it, hence I'm worried if its fake or not
It's not necessary to see more pictures. I agree with @whateve that the bag is authentic.
