Happy Saturday Everyone!
I would appreciate some assistance with authenticating this Coach bag please. It looks good to me but the zipper ring pull, leather tassel and chain for the hangtag seem to have been replaced so I want to be sure. This is a thrift store find and it looks like it has been well-used so I can imagine someone may have found it necessary to replace these parts. Thanks in advance.

It's authentic.

I'm not sure that the zipper pull and hangtag were replaced though. The zipper pull looks like maybe the leather loops either broke or were removed and the rest of the leather piece was knotted back on.

Both the o-ring and the ball chain appear to have been replaced because the originals would have been brass/gold.

The second one is a Casey bag #9923 from around 1993.

Amazing! Many thanks I could not find these bags during my research.

I agree. I think the hangtag looks like the correct one too. I was referring to the o-ring when I stated zipper pull so my bad on using the wrong label for that part.

Thanks BB!

The pictures in the listing aren't adequate for authentication.

We need to see a legible picture of the full creed and since the creed doesn't have a serial number, we also need to see pictures of the made in and serial number tags from inside the bag. Tags are sewn to the inside lining seam and/or buried into a seam inside the zipper pocket.

Please check out this auction for me.
Bag looks good to me but I'm suspicious because the seller has so many of them!
Thank you.

I didn't see the listing before it was removed although ATM it's showing in the completed listings.

http://www.ebay.com/sch/axicka/m.html?LH_Complete=1&rt=nc&_trksid=p2046732.m1684

I also found a cache of the listing and I agree that with "more than 10 available," I see huge red flags. I guess ebay saw red flags too.

I think it was a hijacked account. The member hadn't used it in a while and suddenly listed lots of Coach bags and iPhones.

ETA: Here's the listing that the hijacker stolen the pictures from:

I suspected that the pictures were taken from another source so I did an image search.

It's genuine, probably early to middle 1980s

Thank you so much! I'm so torn about this, it seems like a great opportunity for a rescue, but at the same time I think it's too small. Decisions, decisions.

1. authentic. Gorgeous!
2. authentic. Not a classic pouch. I don't know the official name. I've heard it called a saddle bag, but there are others with the same name.
3. authentic roll bag.
4. You're right, it's a horrible fake.

I just want to comment on the seller of #3, nakam_yasu.

Although she sells a lot of Coach and a seller with this many items should research her items before listing, these are the creeds from 2 fakes she had a few days ago.
