Ok, not sure if I did it right, but this is what I copied and pasted....She said it is authentic, and she would return the money if I found out it was not....She also sent me a picture of the creed...

I'm going to need to see that picture of the creed, though I don't remember Coach ever making this.

Coach did make a style like this, but as Margaret said, we need to see a picture of the creed.

You can try to use the 'Manage Attachments' button to attach a picture to your post. If the picture is too big, you can try to upload it to a free photo hosting site like Photobucket or TinyPic and then post the link here.

Is this bag real? It looks ok to me but I can't get the hang of the newer creed numbers. The second part starts with a 0? Model H0673-06161. So the H stands for August? and 06 for 2006 and so the 73 is where it was made? Thanks!

This is real. I think this was a re-release of style #6171. Instead of creating a new number, Coach just added a zero in front of the old style number.

You are correct in reading the serial number - this was made in August 2006 and 73 is the plant code.
 
I know these aren't the greatest pictures, but do any of you know anything about sunglasses? It looks like they're taken with a webcam, since they're flipped horizontally. The case looks weird to me that the Cs are off centre.

I don't remember Coach even making sunglasses cases with the Heritage Stripe... I wanna go with fake on the case, but need better pictures of the glasses to really tell.

Interesting. Someone else just asked about a bag that looks like it's from the same seller with the reversed pics. Definitely need to see clearer, NON-reversed pictures of the sunglasses (the details on the outside of the arms and the words printed on the inner arms).
 

The tag looks a little odd to me, and the seller did say they got it at an antique shop which makes authenticity questionable. Wait for a second opinion.

The same seller is listing an obviously fake Signature bag, same colors, also "bought from an antique store". I think I'd stay away from any "Coaches" that seller lists.

I agree with MM and Hyacinth. The details of the leather patch on the inside of the hat looks off to me.
 
I have a feeling this bag is fake, but wanted to see what the experts think. The stamping looks different from what I have seen, but am not sure if that has to do with being manufactured at different times. Also, the area at the base of the turnlock is a different shape than other bags.

Here's the auction link. The bag is supposed to be black, they said for some reason it looks blue.

I just purchased this bag at well a Goodwill store. Can someone help me authenticate it?
It looks real, zipper has YKK

This could be a real find or a real dud. I can't bear to carry a fake so could return it if need be.
THe weird thing is
