It's our good friend from last week! I doubt I'd take the chance given all we've been through, but I am curious... any thoughts on the authenticity of this one?

Item: Coach Court Bag
Listing number: 161999427482

Comments: Is this a common way for the serial number on the creed to look?

That's the correct spacing on that Turkish-made bag.

Thanks so much! I hadn't seen that one yet.

Sorry I missed your request. They're fine.

Thanks, whateve! 😊

I am a bit skeptical about this "pre-creed" bag:

Seller: mamagargoyle

Please authenticate this wallet. The Coach stamp looks wrong. Thank you!

I don't believe that bag has any Coach markings on it at all. The seller is being "creative." The Watson bag wasn't introduced until the 90s. Please report.

The stamp is wrong. There are other problems with it too. Please report.

Good morning ladies. I picked up 2 purses at a community garage sale over the weekend for $10. Would you kindly authenticate them please? This is my 2nd post and attempting to conform to the posting requirements on page 1. My sincere gratitude in advance for your help. I will post the 2nd purse separately.

Purse 1:
Coach Carnival Crossbody (please correct if this is not the style name)
Measurements: L-8.0" x H-5.0" x W-2.5" approximate

 

[CoachHarvey]

This is the 2nd purse from my lot. Again, thank you in advance for your gracious help in authenticating it.

Name: Coach Carnival Crossbody (my sincere apologies if the name is wrong)
Measurements: L-8.0" x 5.0" x W 2.5"

the picture of the creed turned upside down after i uploaded it. I cannot find an editor to turn it back around. My apologies.

Whether her current bag is really Coach or just KWS, mamagargoyle has listed and/or sold fakes in the past. I have reports from 2009, 2012 and 2015 where fakes were reported.

This current listing is fake:

as is this:

And this described as "Cashin era" but from 1997:

I can't recommend mamagargoyle!

 

[JOODLZ]

Could someone please authenticate this Coach bag?
GW yesterday
Approx. 9.5"w x 8"h x 3"d. Strap 22" to rings, including clips.
1997 Court Bag #9870 yes?
Thanks in advance…more coming

 

[JOODLZ]

The next 2 are from GW Bargain Barn…for $1 each.
This one embodies the phrase "rode hard and put up wet" but I have her twin and can use the strap and zipper pull for replacements, if I ever need them.
2003 Signature Slim Duffle Small #6347, right?
Thanks again!

 

[JOODLZ]

But here's where I may have goofed…
I didn't look closely at the ends of the zipper on inside pocket But the leather was nice! Also odd that zipper on inside pocket is metal, the one across the top of the bag is nylon…uh oh!
I looked at quite a few 4133s on ebay this morning. Some had 2 inside pockets, some only 1. What's up with that?
Approx. 8"w x 8"h x 5"d. Straps 6" to top of bag.
Trying to be a 1998 Waverly #4133?
Thanks!

Your first major boo-boo, unfortunately...

The serial prefix J8H is on the Fakes list, the color combo doesn't seem right for that year or style, and most importantly the ends of the inside pocket zipper don't go all the way to the edge of the pocket.

The second inside pocket was added in 1997.
