I have several GW purchases to be authenticated please and thank you! I would love confirmation on names as well if possible.

Coach Straw Hamptons Tote or Carryall M1K-8909 (I'm guessing based on the name of another bag with the same design but in fabric and leather)
8" long x 7 3/4" tall x 5" deep

Also was the pink flower keychain original to this bag? It matches the eliding perfectly but has silver metal ring, not brass like the hardware.

Authentic.

Although some bags included a charm, this one did not come with it.

The next one;

Coach Mahogany Leather ....? Made in Italy D8E-4183 (I found something that referred to this as a Lexington Flap but when I did a search for that name I came up with loads of images of briefcases)
9" long x 9" tall x 3" deep with 16" strap drop.

Can I dunk this bag or are the Italian leather bags different? This is the first Italian bag I think I've found. It's in good condition but has a spot on the back and I also like to reshape bags.

It is authentic. It is called a Lexington Flap. They don't come up very often. There are also briefcases called Lexington. You can dunk it. I dunked a Lexington satchel but it didn't rehab very well. I can't remember if the lining is colorfast. Just pull it out and let it dry without touching the bag.

Is the keyring stamped Coach? There have been similar flower keyfobs selling on ebay for big bucks.

This one has strange markings. Could they be from the leather hide before it was made, or do you think post consumer? I can't make out the round seal but it seems to maybe have letters. Also this bag does have the bullet mark on the creed patch.

Coach Station bag A8G-5130 black (but a very mild black I almost thought was dark gray)
8 7/8 long x 9" tall x 2" deep with 44" strap

And the last one;

Coach Devon Bag British Tan B5C-9908
9" long x 6" tall x 3" deep with 48" strap

Both look authentic. I've seen markings on hides before, not exactly like those. I think they normally hide them in a pocket. The black may come back after rehabbing.

Maybe its something signifying a dye lot or something? Seems like something a leather maker would put on it to mark when it was made.

It looks fine.

Thanks!!

Thanks for your quick response and all the good news. Yes the fob is stamped Coach on the back. I'm not tuned in to the key fobs but I have seen quite a few posts of yours here about them so I know they are collectible. I did an ebay search and didn't see anything that matched this one though so thought it may not have been a separate item.

Authentic.

Thanks fellow east coaster! (And for the photo too!)

Goodwiill today. Senior discount day! Hope it's authentic. Size is 8h x 10 l by 4.5 deep at the bottom. Here are the photos.

I'm assuming that is brass hardware. It looks like an authentic classic pouch.

Thanks for checking it out. There is a little bit of verdigris here and there on the brass. Zipper pocket goes all the way across the back of the purse. Creed is not as lumpy IRL.

Well, this bag has a month code of "t" and a country code of "f." Would that be F for fake?

You bet your bippy it would!
Along with that, the border around the Coach logo above the creed stamp is wrong, and the leather tab on the top zipper isn't sewn correctly.

Please report.
