Hi Ladies, I was hoping you could help me authenticate a bag I just got. I've never seen this style bag before and I am itching to dunk it! Please let me know if you need pictures of other areas (straps? pockets? I have no clue what to look for). Thanks in advance!

Hyacinth and whateve, not sure if you are interested, but I found an ebay listing for what I believe is the same "tiny" bag I posted about a few days ago: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-Khaki...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

This seller has different (larger) measurements and I REALLY figured, what are the chances that Coach would make an exact same bag in two different sizes.... so I am now under the impression that my seller has a faulty measuring tape and the bag is actually not that tiny. I'm taking a chance and bought it for $19 shipped hopefully it'll work out in my favor!

Good luck!

Please let us know what its actual measurements are. Maybe you can photograph it with a 12-inch ruler laid along the base and also held vertically against the front.

I'm posting a photo from each listing below so we don't have to jump around too much once you post photos of the one you get.

ETA - I think there may be two different sizes. The one I posted earlier has the same number of rows of Cs but the bottom edges of the handles come almost halfway down the front of the bag, while the handles of other two seem to sit higher up on the bag. Here's the probable style 4262 again, third photo, it just seems smaller than the other two, unless the bag looks smaller because of the angle of the photo:

We always need measurements of older and vintage bags especially when they don't have the style number as part of the serial number.

If it measures about 9x9 inches it's a Jackson Bucket, style 9912, from the Camden Classics collection made in 1992 and 1993.

Hello Ladies
i would like to authenticate this Beaumont Speedy
size is about 11.5 wide X 7" high X 4" deep
here is what bothers me, the creed starts with I and the bottom feet seem to
have worn the brass color part way off ( I thought maybe wrongly, that the brass would be solid not plated. but creed bothers me more.
Thanks
RC

I have this exact creed in my files. It's a mistake that happened occasionally. The brass on this bag would only be plated. There aren't many bags made this late that have solid brass hardware. I believe the bag is authentic.

Is this a real coach bag? It's ebay

I've never posted here before, not sure if this is the right way.

Thanks - I've been looking at some others too, then realized there's more to buying Coach online than I though.
