I can't find anything on this key chain. Can you authenticate this?

There is nothing stamped on the backs of the charms.

It's a genuine Multicharm Keyfob from around 2006. And usually but not always when a charm had a Coach name or logo on the front it wouldn't have one on the back. Older keychains sometimes weren't stamped on the backs at all.

They both seem okay although the seller should have better more legible creed pictures. For the first bag without a serial number on the creed, she should be showing the label/tag from inside the bag or in the zipper pocket showing the serial number information.

There are 2 Salearea Coach Guides that explain how to read a serial number of a genuine Coach for the date codes. I strongly recommend reading and Saving all six:

Will do. Thanks!

Comments: This seller seems to be connected to "The Hillman Group," a company that appears to be a supplier to big box stores like Home Depot.

Earlier in the month (Feb. 2), I reported a listing for a fake Coach flip flop keychain. It was a cheap enamel one commonly seen on iOffer. And in fact, it was similar to this one sold by the same company. (But the fake on ebay DEFINITELY was counterfeit Coach.)

Has anyone ever seen this?

ETA: The following is a screenshot I was able to find of a cache of the removed listing. It's hard to see details.

Everything looks good.

Note that the valet keychain is missing 1/2 of it, making it useless as a valet. Without knowing what the missing part looks like, I don't know whether it was the legacy stripe version (92093) or a solid colored enamel one. (If you purchased this online, a link would be helpful because IMO, the seller was deceptive.)

The following show what the style would look like if complete:

Hello Ladies, looking to buy the bag below and would really appreciate some help authenticating it. I know it's probably not a real "Bonnie Cashin" but is it a real Coach bag? Thanks for your help!

Hi BB,

They were all sold as a lot from a seller on Tradesy and she just listed it as a key fob. I got all those pieces, plus the backpack I posted for authentication yesterday, all at a really low clearance price so can't complain too much. Thanks for letting me know that it is missing parts. I will be sure to provide that info should I decide to resell it.

Have a great day!

I've never seen a Hangtag keychain in all the same color, and green is a really odd color to make one in. The top link that attaches the chain to the keyring looks a bit too big too. In fact the keyring also looks too wide.

ETA -the font of the Coach logo looks like the older style but the letters don't look very sharp around the edges, and the serifs especially on the Cs is barely there. My gut feeling is Fake. The dustbag seems wonky too.

Here's a blowup of the hangtag charm, see what I mean about the serifs? DEFINITELY fake. Or if it IS real, it's the poorest made POS I've seen in a long time.
