Hello! Could I authenticate this bag? The seller is on etsy as vintagecoachless, but also eBay as azuramerekat.

Thank you!

They're authentic.

Thanks BB. I thought so but I don't buy shoes very often. Appreciate the help!

Please authenticate:

Item: Black with brown trim court bag, it has really heavy thick leather!

Creed No.: 010-4143, Is this an older court bag? I think from the mid-70's to 80's, maybe???

Thank you, Christine

PS forgot to mention that it does not have an adjustable strap

2nd one please:

Item: brown sheridan bag, I think?

dimensions: about 8' x 9'

Color: is this british tan?

Creed No: 0033-400 - is this from the early 90's?

The zipper on the inside looks a little cheaper to me than I am used to seeing on a real coach

Thank you, Christine

It's an authentic court bag spectator. It's from around 1989-1990.

It's an authentic Sheridan Stewart bag from 1993. The color was called tan.

The pictures aren't good enough to tell for sure but I don't see any problems.

ETA: the seller has had fakes listed in the past.

Item: Coach Signature 17725 Bag

The C's where the Coach emblem is at are facing upwards instead of left and right. I'm pretty sure it's authentic, but any help would be great, thanks!

It looks fine. More opinions are welcome. The C pattern is correct. If you will notice, it alternates between 2 Cs facing each other, and 2 up and 2 down. This is a common pattern Coach uses.

I agree that the bag is authentic.

To avoid wasting fabric, Coach doesn't make every bag so the placement of the pattern is in the place on every bag. Some bags will have the horizontal Cs at the top center, some bags will have the horizontal Cs but cut in 1/2 at the top center and others have the vertical Cs (turned sideways) at top center.

Good evening. could you please authenticate this red Willis? I'm pretty sure it's a fake for its creed "W7B", but just would like to confirm.

You are correct.

I don't even bother reporting fakes on Etsy because they've never removed a fake that I've reported! (They don't remove non-vintage and/or non-handmade items either!) But every once in a while, a rare honest seller will end her listing when she learns her item is counterfeit.

It's unavailable now. Did the seller remove it or did Etsy?

I think someone might have let the seller know that the bag is fake.

But for those who missed it, I still had the window open so I can post some pictures.
