As NSP posted, the "sports coach" isn't Coach and is considered to be counterfeit.

Are those your own pictures of your items? One picture was taken from an Etsy listing and the other from an ebay listing.
(This is the ebay listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ladies-Vint...ss-Body-Purse-with-Handle-9983-/151901493731? )
and
(This is the Etsy listing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/238888321/vintage-coach-bag-purse-black-leather?ref=market )

Regarding the above ^^^^ they obviously aren't the bags you have in your possession since they're from different sellers and neither is "sports Coach."

For the other bag (and the images shown), you need to show your own pictures of the actual bag including a clear and legible picture of the creed.



Not to worry, Hyacinth. Those aren't her listings. I think the pictures were "borrowed" to show the supposed styles. (see my post above.)

Thanks, BB, I'd found the Ebay listing but not the Etsy one.

Yes, it's fake and for the viewing enjoyment of our followers, I'll post the creed from bulletbobhasit's listing.

I think it might be a few years newer, judging by the zipper pull and because it's only stamped "Coach" without the "New York" underneath it. Some time around 2000 to maybe 2002, the Zoe bags from that period had that same little mini snaphead on their zipper pulls.

Oh yes I'm sure you are correct. Slowly learning, learning slowly...Thanks as always!

Not sure the name, rhyder maybe? also don't know if there is a long strap or if it's meant to be carried by that short handle:
seller just called it coach handbag
eBay item number:161908129445

I'd like to see more pictures. If you can request a picture of all tags and labels from the inside seam and/or inside the inner zipper pocket, that would help.

If authentic (and at this point, I can't say one way or another), it seems to be missing the long strap.
