Comments: The snap closure hardware looks odd to me I’ve never seen it say anything other than Coach.

Hi--I just picked these up at an estate sale; wondering if such tiny things can be authenticated? They measure about 2x2 excluding the ring. They came in the pictured bags.

They look fine. Next time, for keychains, show a closeup of both sides of the hangtag and the price tag (it's blurry in your photos).

Item: Becket, Soho basket, and legacy zip
Listing number:326707790162 (auction is already ended)
Seller and site where listed: Ebay "felixfrancisandbobbyinc"
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/326707790162
Comments: I got caught up in bidding and thought I knew enough. I'm pretty sure the legacy zip is a fake because of the serial number and strap rivets.

Legacy zip photos are first and end with the strap. Then soho basket and a clearer photo of the creed for the becket. I can try to get a better serial number photo later when my lighting is better.

The link in your post redirects.

The Legacy zip is fake. The other two are fine.

That's so weird! Even when I replaced the item number from the redirected link, the listing from
felixfrancisandbobbyinc came up as removed. I had to do an advanced search by the seller ID in order to see the listing.

Hello! I was a Coach collector for many years up until 2012..mostly accessories. I have listed my coin purses on eBay and I just had a person tell me my Koi coin purse was fake. I offered to go to my Coach boutique for authentication and more pics and she accused me of putting my own hangtag on. I was a member here for years, always posting my new purchases. Anyway, here is my coin purse. Please help!

Your koi coin purse/handbag charm is absolutely authentic and the style number is 489. And the hangtag is original to the item.

Block that buyer and refer them here if necessary.

ETA: Here's a post on ebay asking about the same AUTHENTIC Coach item. That poster received the same answer.

Note that the koi items (as most other Coach items) have been faked, but your item isn't one of them.

Thank you. I am so upset. I not sure why it bothers me so much. My collections are very special and handpicked. ❤️

I don't blame you. It's upsetting to be accused of wrongdoing when you haven't done anything wrong. Self-proclaimed "experts" can be dangerous.

Item: Ridgefield flap
Where purchased or how obtained: estate sale
Comments: The straps feel off in some way. Like there is more give/squish in the material than I would expect.

The pictures show an authentic bag.

Just a quick comment.

The bag has a non-typical font for the G plant and some who aren't familiar with the variation may question it.

Lovely bag!

Thanks for that info!!!
