oh I so wish I could find one of those carlyle bags in red! I am on a serious vintage red hunt. I want something unique though and not plain!
I'm about to overload you guys...I have been waiting and waiting and waiting hoping the forum would be up soon so I could start bidding on ebay again LOL

This first one I need someone to check these wristlets and let me know for sure that they are fake. This person lives in Niagara Falls which is where one of the outlets are in Canada so idk why they are selling fakes for the price of outlet coach!! He also has one "coach" purse listed and I am about 100% sure that one is fake too...
SELLER: martinovic39
LINK: http://myworld.ebay.ca/martinovic39/?_trksid=p4340.l2559

Second one I am sure is authentic but looking for a bit of info on the bag. This one really has me intrigued. Does anyone know what year approx. it would be since it doesn't appear to have a creed? What style it would be? Would colour transfer be a huge issue since the colour is so light? I love the style of the bag and the chain straps/kiss lock but the colour has me a bit afraid since it's so light.

SELLER: bilbobaggens16
ITEM NUMBER: 120748899030
ITEM: PRE-OWNED COACH ARCHIVE LIMITED EDITION SM HANDBAG BLUE
LINK: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120748899030&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Third is a bag lot and I love the shape of these bags! Does anyone here have one that could comment on how hard it is to find a wallet to fit or will a regular wallet fit ok even with the rounded corners?

1. Do NOT buy from martinovic39. Every current Coach wristlet is fake as are the two completed listings for which buyers got ripped off.

2. Seller bilbobaggens16 sells authentic. The bag in the listing is fine.

3. Please wait for Hyacinth and/or DemRam for authentication of these bags.

I have noticed that many of the purses from the 90s and early 2000s have this kind of format in the first part of the serial number (before the hyphen): letter - number - letter - for example "F8D", while many of the recent purses have a letter followed by four numbers - for example "H1093".

When did Coach stop using letters after the digits indicating the year? Thanks in advance for your answer.

There's a partial explanation in the Answers To Authenticity Questions thread, post 34:
http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/answers-to-authenticity-questions-94198-3.html#post1944848

Coach added the extra number to the year code in 2004, and they changed the production plant code from one to two digits in 2006. The old codes had usually been letters of the alphabet but with the addition of the new plants in China they were running out of letters and began using numbers. Then in 2006 they began changing all plant codes to 2-number codes.

Sorry, the "Frumpy Grandmas" are taking a break and will be back after they've changed their support hose.

Or after they've received an apology.

Hello,

Okay, I posted that thread to ask of any fashionable ways to wear a vintage bag.
I was referring to MYSELF to not look "frumpy" because I have a tendency to do that when I dress down.
I didn't post this to offend anyone. If I did, I apologize.
Please don't take it offensive.
I am really getting into the vintage Coach bags right now so I just want more info on them.

So.... does anyone care to answer my question???

Need serial # help.

what year was this bag made?

It's the stewardess bag made in Costa Rica.

serial # is EOP-9525

Read the post right above yours. Most questions about creeds and serial numbers are in that thread.

Thank you, Hyacinth! This information will really come in handy when looking at some of the older bags.

Item: coach purse madison collection pebbled lt. Brown leather
listing number: 230642542463
Seller: liza4704
Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230642542463&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Comments: With all these issues TPF is having hourly someone can check this out for me. I was the winner of this auction. I asked the seller to post a creed pic, but she said because there were bids and less than 24 hours left on the auction she couldn't post it. She did tell me the creed number was E5E-4401. Further research led me to believe this is a Carlyle bag from the Madison collection. I am awaiting a creed pic before I pay, but I hoped someone could give me a tentative opinion based on the information at hand. thanks!

Here is the creed pic, hopefully this pic is ok! I would hate to have to ask the seller again!
