Hi!

    Item: Black pebbled leather duffelette
    Where purchased or how obtained: FB Marketplace (listing no longer up)
    Comments:
I bought this on FB Marketplace. It's about 12" tall, 9" at the bottom and 14" at the top, and 3" in width. The seller said it was style 21373 but I can't find much about that online. The lack of serial number made me suspicious, but I think it was bought in 2016 when they didn't do that? I couldn't find the white tag either. Embossing seems a little shallow. Quality wise it seems nice to me but I'm definitely a beginner. Thanks for any insight :)

I purchased this wallet from goodwill to resell. After cleaning it up, and especially after uploading the images, I'm thinking it's a fake. Fortunately, I only paid $2/lb at the outlet, so it wasn't very much. I have a hard time authenticating items without a creed, so I'd appreciate any pointers for the future based on this example.

I bought this mahogany vintage Coach Ergo from a seller in Auckland, New Zealand for $580 NZD (dream bag!). Was devastated to find out it's a fake Coach as I'm not one to ever spend this much money on something like this :( Can someone please confirm this is the case? Apparently, the font is wrong for plant D according to Vintage Coach EyeCandy Facebook group. Thanks so much!
As a fellow Kiwi and Coach lover, I am so sad about this.
It's hard to find them in the wild here.

I don't see any problems but I'd like to see one more picture.

Inside the bag somewhere, probably in the lower left corner of an inner pocket, there should be a small white label with 2 rows of numbers/letters. If you can pull it out to take a picture of that, it would help confirm.

Yes, it's fake.
 
Hello everyone, I come seeking your professional expertise of IDing fake Coach!

I bought this on eBay, at a price that was already too good to be true so I should've known as well as looked at the pictures a little better. I would be very grateful if someone could ID it. I'm think it's a fake as the pattern looks nothing like my smaller crossgrain leather Coach and the surface is really smooth, not textured as much as well but would like it to be confirmed before I ask for a return.

Thanks for any information!

Item: Coach Men's 3 In 1 Crossgrain Leather Wallet
Listing number: 135804145192

Hi, I bought this Coach Tabby backpack from eBay. I’m just curious if this is fake? It says ‘made in Cambodia Cambodge’. Someone please help me thank you.

Hi, please could you authenticate this tabby Times Square. I bought it online from Wardow but I'm concerned that the leather is wearing at the edges and corners quite quickly. I only bought in October’24. More photos to follow. Thanks very much.

I bought this at a local thrift store on a 50% off day for 7 Cad. The leather didnt seem too bad but the inside lining was literally brown. Not sure how a purse gets that filthy. I washed the lining 3x times and its 90 percent better but before I invest too much more time I thought I better check if it's authentic or not. The chain for the tag was broken so I just used one I had. Thanks so much for the help.
