Hi ladies - I'm a new member looking for authentication help. I have a few "vintage" Coach bags (bought when new when I was younger, or Mom's and she's given them to me) and would LOVE to pick up the styles I wanted back then and couldn't afford. Also, I think that I may have just bought a cheap 9950 fake on another site and don't want to waste the money again (it's going to church rummage if it is fake - about 1 inch smaller than the new 9950s on each diameter).

First of all, it's illegal for ANYONE to sell fakes, and that INCLUDES non-profit organizations. If it goes to a rummage sale it'll probably end up on Ebay and someone else will end up getting ripped off. If it's really fake it should be destroyed or taken out of circulation - give it to a little girl to use when she plays dress-up and write "Fake" somewhere on the inside of the bag. And BTW, you should still have someone look at it to make sure it's really fake, and if it is you should insist on a full refund from the seller.

The two bags you asked about both look ok. The second is actually called a Becket Zip, not a Legacy Hobo. I'm not sure of the exact name for the first bag.

Good afternoon!
I desperately need a nice red Coach tote..I love this one, but question the authenticity...whats that stamp on the creed? And, she mentions it might have been a "gift"? Thanks for your help :)

It's called a Legacy West Small Zoe Hobo and it's genuine. The FS stamp on the creed means it was a Final Sale and sold at a discount. The stamp is so that it couldn't be returned to Coach for a full refund.
