Hi: I have this bag in Lime Green. I bought it a few years ago at a coach store. The first line of the listing says it is purple leather and it is not leather. It is fabric like a satin. The pull on the purple one is pom poms and mine is thin long leather pieces. The side of the bag shows where the handle is attached to the bag, mine has the Coach logo with leatherware, est 1941 on it. Also the creed inside is totally different. The numbers could be because of the year, location, color (I really don't understand them) but it is L04J-1891. It is also out of leather and not suede. I love this bag, I tried to return it after I bought it thinking I wouldn't use Lime Green and every store employee was taking dibs on it, if I returned it. So I kept it, I guess with that much attention it was a good bag to keep. I am NOT a coach expert, I am asking for help on bags myself, but when you see one you have, I just thought that I would make a comment. This might be a authentic bag and things changed since I bought mine, but I would wait for someone else to put in their input. I also saw it in Red on the coach website. It looks like mine. :hrmm: :smile1:
 
already messaged the seller, waiting on response :D Wow, that's an awesome deal!!! Do they have anymore? :sweatdrop:

Nope, they started out with about 9 bags on the table and they were gone in a matter of minutes. That was the 1st Coach that I bought. I was, note "was" , going to give it to a g/f who loves Coach bue decided to keep it....and then it began....I now have 3 great Coach bags. I'm trying to give my D&Bs a run for their money now LOL
 
I am not sure if this is the right place for this post, if it is not I am very sorry.

I recently acquired two coach purses and I am trying to figure out from what collection they each came from. It is very obvious they are not from this year's collection but I have tried searching various websites and haven't found anything about these two. The pictures can be found here

Thanks in advance.

Hello, Starrymaz asked for a better picture of the creed so here it is. Coach Creed.

Thanks :)

Hi PrairieDawn! I was actually asking to see a creed for the leather bag you had. The signature bag (this creed you just posted is from the signature bag) is definitely fake. Sorry! :sad: But the leather bag may be real, I just wanted to get a closer look at the creed for the leather bag to be absolutely sure.
 

ok first of all the pictures of the first one are kind of far away so it's hard to tell completely, and the price seems right, so I would have to say probably authentic.
Now the second one looks the same as the first except for one thing, the cheap paper and plastic tag. Now unless this tag was put here buy some department store for their own purposes, I would have to say that this one is probably fake. Coach doesn't put those cheap things on their purses.
For more info and a pretty cool tool to help you in the future check out my signature.

As I've already said, both these bags are authentic. Systomic27: I'm not sure what you mean by the cheap paper and plastic tag on the second one. The second one is definitely 100% authentic. It was purchased from the Coach Outlet (note the Coach Factory tag and the bullseye on the creed).
 

I am extremely wary of purchasing wallets on eBay, as they are some of the most commonly faked items and are especially hard to authenticate without seeing/feeling them in person. Please wait for Hyacinth's opinion on these before bidding.
 
Thanks starrymaz! #1 was actually the one I wanted most. Now I just have to decide if I'm going to bid and risk losing it, or BIN. :shame:

I just want to say that I have a lot of respect for all you ladies in this forum that spend your time helping out us newbies. I think you guys are great!

You're welcome, kymbeee! Good luck! ;)

Thanks starrymaz!!! :smile1:
Hopefully I will win it!! :graucho:

You're welcome, iheartdooney! Good luck! ;)
 

I'd ask for a pic of the creed to be sure. But it looks good to my untrained eye. I have this same bag ,only in black. I picked it up at the Navy Exchange for...drum roll please.....$49.47!! They were having a clearance sale and the bags were 70% off the last marked price.

Agree with maggieloop. Looks good so far, a creed pic will confirm.
Maggieloop: Wow, what a great deal!
