1. The red bag with J4D-9059 is definitely fake. J4D would indicate a bag made in 1994 - Coach did NOT make those signature bags in 94.
Style 9059 is the Legacy Small Hobo which is a leather bag. The creed says "natural glove tanned cowhide" and the bag is made of fabric.
2. The tan leather bag "looks" like a Patricia's Legacy but the creed is confusing my brain. Definitely wait for Hyacinth to comment on that one.
Please authenticate. TIA!

The "Coach" part in the 2nd picture looks really blurry but it's the lighting/flash.

Thanks! Sorry about the photo bucket thing, it wouldn't let me post my pictures.
Top one Patricia's Legacy is fake - wrong plant code and a bag supposedly made in 2001 would NEVER have "Made in the United States" stamped at the bottom of the creed. Also the font of the Coach logo on the creed patch is about 20 years too old for a bag made in 2001.
I agree with DemRam about the red fabric bag.

Hi guys, pls help to authenticate this coach bag
Item: Coach madison op art sabrina
link: nil
pics: in 4 posts
You're showing everything we need to see except for a clear close-up of the creed patch and serial number using the Macro setting on your camera.
BTW, when you have a lot of pics to post it might be easier uploading them full-size (at least 800x600) to a special Photobucket album and then just posting the links to the PB album here.
these were missed from last Friday. please let me know, thank you!!!

I'll just add a couple of comments to Hyacinth's opinions.
All are fake as opined by Hyacinth, including the pink Carly.
plr1234 - In addition to the current fake, she sold another of the same style with the same pics and she also has a current fake Dooney listing as well as completed fake Coach keychains:
Fake Coach - the hangtag might be okay. All others are junque: http://completed.shop.ebay.com/plr1...&_odkw=&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3911.c0.m270.l1313
jaynsqkr - In addition to the current fake, she sold this fake:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Signature-Coach...990?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item2c5b87ee16
It is scary to see there are that many fake bags on ebay.
Frustrating with biding, I just go for buy it now and bought this bag. It looks ok to me (well just like a lot of fake one look ok to me). It it the seller's description gave me more confident: All of my items are authentic since I only buy authentic items. But after reading the creed in greater detail (it said it is made in Italy), I kind of worry. Would you please help me to authenticate it (I want the peace of mind)? Thank you so much.

It's fine. Coach has made bags in almost a dozen countries, including Italy. Although almost 100 percent of their bags and accessories are currently made in China, India and Vietnam, they still do a handful of their very expensive exotic leather bags in Italy.
BTW, this is called a Vachetta Demi Pouch and is a very small bag, only about 6x5 inches. I hope that's what you were looking for. You should always ask for measurements if the seller doesn't have them in the listing.
Oh, and NEVER trust that something's genuine based on what the seller says or claims. Sellers can and do LIE, especially when they're selling a fake.
