The last one is a genuine Station Bag from 1997.

WAIT FOR THE EXPERTS ON NEWER STYLES TO LOOK AT THE FIRST TWO.

The first two look good too.

Note: In reading the first listing, I'm impressed with the "terms" of the first listing from Goodwill of Orange County. (Apparently, each Goodwill sets its own "rules" and although the sale of counterfeit goods is illegal, most thrift (Goodwill and others) B&M and online stores don't seem to GAS.

Goodwill of Orange Country seems to be open to messages of errors in their listings (unlike some other Goodwills I've posted in the Hall of Shame over the years).

My only issue with their note is that they state it's "shopgoodwill.com" policy that prohibits the sale of fakes. In fact, it's the law by which many shopgoodwill stores don't abide.

Note: Goodwill of Orange County states that this item has been posted in accordance with shopgoodwill.com's policy prohibiting the sale of counterfeit items. If you have any questions or concerns about the authenticity of this item please contact seller directly prior to bidding.

Hello, hello!

After visiting my mom over the holiday, I discovered that she also has a thing for purses, so I guess it runs in the family! For Christmas, I'm going to get a vintage Coach for her and rehab it. I would be grateful if the wonderful authenticators could take a look at the bags below. TIA!

1.
Item: VTG COACH SKINNY TOTE 9546 w/Papers! Zip top/Kisslock Black/Blue purse USA MADE!

Seller: tiedupinthecloset
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/VTG-COACH-S...slock-Black-Blue-purse-USA-MADE-/351595864670
Comments: Is the kisslock opening large enough to accommodate a big mess of keys? My mom really likes this style, but she wants a convenient pocket on the exterior of the bag to store an inexplicably high number of keys and keychains...

2.
Item: RARE Vintage COACH Chocolate bro CRESCENT SADDLE BAG Retro Hippie GC
Listing number: 161898169588
Seller: debomajo
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/161898169588
Comments: Does this style have a pocket along the back? I can't tell if that's just a seam or an opening.

3.

Listing number: 252193034428
Seller: clearmaple365
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/252193034428
Comments: Same question as for the other crescent(?) bag - is there a pocket along the back?


And now, selfishly, a few items for me....

Could someone please authenticate this Coach bag?
From GW...dirty & beat up but rehab-able, I hope.
But it was only $1 so I'll give it a shot :)
Approx. 8"w x 7"h x 3.75"d. Handles 6" to pocket top.
2005 #9650 Scribble satin mini tote or something?
As always, thanks in advance!

You probably know this already but these have a tendency for stains along the seams, which might be some kind of glue. I wouldn't use hot water.

#1 authentic. The kisslock pocket is surprisingly roomy. It might fit all her keys but it might look lumpy, and possibly stretch out. I keep my coin purse in mine.
#2 authentic. Yes, there is a back pocket. It's not a crescent bag; it's a saddle bag.
#3 is fake.
#4 and #5 are both authentic.
#4 is a Madison french purse #4473.
#5 is a Madison continental clutch #4474.

It's genuine. The prefix digits sometimes got scrambled.

You have better eyesight than I, I could NOT make out the full number. Thank you!!

The number was 0444-315. When you see enough fakes, you can fill in the blanks based on what you know even if the pictures are lousy.
