Both look genuine. The bag with the top handle looks like a Plaza Bag Large from around 1990. I can't give a name or date to the other one.

Could someone kindly authenticate this Coach Studio Leather Backpack - style number 9368: I bought on eBay and I'm now curious about the creed. I owned this backpack TWICE in both black and brown, and sold on eBAy.

I don't remember the 0 in front of the 9368 in the creed patch. It looks authentic to me and I can't imagine this would be fake but wanted to check....thank you very much!! I never saw these in the outlets so don't think it would have been a Factory redo. I've bought and owned Coach for years but just looking for another perspective.

For comparison, here is the exact same backpack from another seller on eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/231748762438?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

I'm now thinking of getting this one and comparing them.....

It's authentic.

When Coach ran out of 4 digit style numbers and began having numbers with 5 digits, they added a 0 to the front of older styles to have a consistent format.

ETA: With 97% feedback, the seller blessed55us had better start describing her items more accurately or she'll find herself unable to sell on ebay.

In addition, she has this fake Coach:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-Vinta...939130?hash=item1a08a14fba:g:Ao8AAOSwYHxWN~yi

And another fake Coach:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUTHENTIC-C...302783?hash=item1a084b4ebf:g:r6AAAOSw4HVWCLPQ

There are other fake Coaches too.

And at least 2 listings with fake Dooneys.

Fantastic! Thank you very much BeenBurned for your help! I'm pretty good about these things but the 0 threw me for a loop. So, I'm guessing the 2nd one that I posted was prior to them running out of the serial numbers. I don't believe this backpack was available in this particular design/shape/style (the studio legacy has been around a long time and been redone (the body/shape) for more than a couple of years. So the two I listed must have fallen just far enough apart in manufacture times to have the difference in their creed numbers with the 0.

Hyacinth, I asked her a number of questions before bidding. Why would she risk selling fakes?

Can you tell me how you know that the above are fakes? I would appreciate the education for future knowledge. The first black 'court' bag doesn't look like the real deal but the patch looks pretty good. I owned a Coach Court back way back in the day.

Either her camera angle is funky or the proportions don't look correct. I wonder if I should say something to her? I'm hoping to high heaven the backpack is the real deal but I trust you ladies!! :)
