I can't imagine it NOT being authentic. The level of detail is amazing, probably better than any other metal Coach keychain I've ever seen, like the 2 different metal colors on the hangtags. It was probably a limited edition or maybe a special promotional gift for Coach's 65th Anniversary. It's new to me too but whoever bought it got a real keeper, and at a great price.
Thanks. I always seem to miss out on the good stuff.
 
How does this one look? Has an extra dash in the serial number.

It's fine. It's a Ridgefield flap, not a city bag.
Good afternoon,


Could someone please authenticate the two purses, both purchased on eBay from the same seller, sanbridge:


Bag 1 was listed as "Vintage Shoulder Bag", but I assume it's Derby. Appr. size is 7" x 8", strap drop 26". Pictures:
It's fine. It's a derby.
 
This is an interesting one.

I wasn't sure where to post it but since I've never seen this item coupled with the 99999 style number, I figure this is as good a place as any to start.

We've seen bags with 99999 style/serial numbers, often claiming that items are samples however none of the previous listings (that I recall) had a tag and IIRC, all were NWOT. Sellers were never able to produce any type of documentation showing the purchase of these bags.

While I don't see anything that indicates that this wasn't made by Coach, I'm wonder whether anyone has seen the style and if so, did it have a 99999 style.

That number never would have been used for a genuine bracelet, and AFAIK has ALWAYS been restricted to Samples only.

But here's something interesting - a Google search for "Coach bracelet 99999" came up with this page heading

"RESIN and metal bracelet MULTICOLOR 99999 - Bags"
"www.coachfactoryonlinecheap.com/coach.../RESIN-and-metal-bracelet-...
RESIN and metal bracelet MULTICOLOR 99999. ... smoky resin and silver-plated brass, this striking design comes hallmarked on the inside with the Coach logo."


and guess what? Not only does the page have a URL indicating an OBVIOUSLY counterfeit selling site, but the site has been closed down and a Coach shutdown notice from Greer Burns and Crain posted in its place. The Default Judgement is dated March 10, 2016 and here's the .pdf file listing ALL the defendents:

Here's Google's cached page but unfortunately there's no photo.
PLEASE NOTE - I'M GETTING A MALWAREBYTES POPUP WARNING JUST ACCESSING THE CACHED PAGE SO DON'T CLICK ON THE LINK UNLESS YOU HAVE A STRONG ANTI-MALWARE PROGRAM ON YOUR SYSTEM! I'm splitting the URL right after the scum-selling site's former store name to play it safe. The item is clearly listed as:

"RESIN and metal bracelet MULTICOLOR 99999
Layered oval cutouts inspired by the base plaque of our iconic turnlock add distinctive signature style to this slender bangle. Crafted in a chic mix of smoky resin and silver-plated brass, this striking design comes hallmarked on the inside with the Coach logo.

Resin and silver plated brass "
