Any information on any of these bags would be greatly appreciated.

Other opinions are welcome but this is what I'm seeing:

4115 is a Whitney Bag, can't read the year code but it's after 1993.

9755 is a Pocket Purse from 1998

the "Bean Bag" is a fake, sorry. That Bean Bag stamp has appeared on a lot of fakes over the years. Some of us once tried to find out if Coach had ever made anything called a Bean bag other than a keychain, or if they'd had any affiliation with LL Bean and we didn't find any record of any tie-ins. The creed is also badly stamped and the Coach logo is barely visible.

Did you look inside all the pockets of the one without a stamp? Sometimes Coach placed the creed stamp in odd locations. If it was genuine and really old it may have just had a small metal plate inside with the Coach logo, but it should have something. There were plenty of look-alike bags being made in Korea and other places so it may just be a good copy and there are one or 2 small details that aren't quite Coach-y.

4150 is a Fletcher Bag from 1998

Regarding #1, it appears to me that the prefix on the 4115 bag looks like NT.

I can barely see the prefix, but I think I can make out something that looks like a 6.

I played around a bit with sharpening and editing the picture and this is what I'm seeing:

Both appear to be ok, though more opinions are welcome. Original pictures here:

What about the Daisy wallet is making you question it?

The tag on the other wallet appears to be a consignment store's tag.

To answer your question about the stamping on the snap: there are certain styles that have COACH stamped on the snap.

For future reference, it's not a good idea to purchase from a listing that only shows one picture. This is especially important for wallets, since wallets are highly faked.

Kindly review photos for Item number 1. My concern is that 'C' pattern at the stitching seems off in one area. I did notice multiple items on ebay with the same issue.

Looks fine. The C's along the seams don't always line up. This is because they are separate pieces of fabric that are cut and then sewn together.

Kindly review the additional pictures for item number 2. Thank you!!

Kindly review additional pictures for item number 3. I sincerely appreciate your time.

I was wondering....is there such a thing as a Coach replica that is sooo good it wouldn't be possible to tell the difference?

hawkyguy said:
In addition to the previous three requests; please confirm if this appears to be an authentic Coach.

I promise to "leave you alone" until next Christmas after this !!

Thank you and Happy Holidays!!!

I too fooled around with i a bit, I can see 04C 4115 or 040 4115. It is a lovely large, tall Coach but smells like a vitamin bottle. I've contemplated keeping this one for myself. Love the old leather bags. The one with no creed is a really good knock off with the exception of missing creed and the stitching or over lapping of trim on the strap. The other fake I figured was a fake because the of the bean in the creed, silver tone buckle & brass hardware, nylon zippers and the leather on the corners felt more like glove leather than saddle leather.

I did look all over for any hidden tag or creed and found nothing (disappointed) The other fake I figured was a fake because the of the bean in the creed, silver tone buckle & brass hardware, nylon zippers and the leather on the corners felt more like glove leather than saddle leather. Thanks for everyones help!
