hi guys, new here, hope someone would help me out with a couple purses i picked up at a yard sale for $2. i won't be too heartbroken if they are fake!

i think this is a 'legacy zoe hobo' handbag (at least that's what i get when i google the bag #). i understand that the marks on the inside label mean it is an outlet bag? is it worth anything?

The first one is a Legacy West Small Zoe Hobo from 2004. It was originally sent to the outlets and then to an off-price store like Marshall's or TJ Maxx.

The second one looks like a Pouch of some kind. If there's no creed patch it's something that Coach would consider an accessory rather than a full-size purse.

As for what they might be worth, we can't give value estimates. The best thing to do is to search for the same style number or type of bag on Ebay and see what the high and low selling prices have been.

Welcome to tPF! One suggestion though - in the future, please make sure that every URL you post goes on its own separate line. Hit the Enter key between URLs or they all run together.
Edited to add - never mind, I see that you edited your post and corrected the URLs.

They both look fine (authenticity-wise).

I don't know the name of the first one but it's from 2004 and the style number if 9342.

Regarding the markings on the creed, the round bullet indicates that it was being sold at the outlet. The "X" indicates that Coach sent it to a discounter such as Marshalls, TJ Maxx or another similar off-price store after it either may not have sold at the outlet or may have been purchased and returned by a customer.

The red bag is a pouch and often, pouches don't have creeds.

Item: Genuine COACH LEGACY SPEEDY SATCHEL RED Tote Purse 9713
Listing number: 290463577683
Seller: rie1234

We still need to see a pic of the creed to know if it's genuine, but the style is actually a Penelope Satchel, not a Speedy or a Legacy.

Speedy is a term for a Doctor-type satchel used by another manufacturer, and has come to mean that basic style of bag. But Coach has never used the name Speedy on any of their bags.

Hi all. I posted about this yesterday so sorry I'm asking again, but I just got it in the mail today and am thinking I may not have an authentic fob. BeenBurned I know that you said it looked good, but it is not marked on the back at all and there is no small COACH tag. All of the key rings/lanyards/fobs that I've looked at are embossed with the COACH logo on the back and most have the tiny COACH tag. Can anyone tell me anything? I appreciate all help! THANKS!

Comments: Hello - I bought this online and am now wondering if it is authentic Coach. The photos match pretty well the item I have but it is dirtier than was discolsed. I am trying to get my camera to cooperate but am wondering if you can tell from the listing photos. thank you.

I still believe that if you received an item exactly as pictured, it looks fine. I did comment that I wonder how and where this selller gets so many (quantity-wise) of the same items since it's a known fact that Coach likes to set limits.

Not all items have Coach stamps on the back, many lanyards and not all fobs have lozenge charms.

This is Coach's photo of the same item, style 2325. (Notice that there's no lozenge charm.)

The bag looks authentic but had you asked here before purchasing, you would have been advised to check out the seller's feedback.

There's a long history of items not being accurately described as far as condition is concerned.

ty BeenBurned! next time I will check here first. :flowers:
I'll have to look at it and decide if it's worth keeping.

ETA - also poorly packaged - put into a priority mail box narrower than the base of the purse.
