There aren't enough pictures in the listing to determine whether the original bag is authentic or not.

But even if authentic, her title is incorrect. Coach doesn't/didn't make a "Cavalier King Charles Spaniel" bag.

So IF authentic, the title should say "Coach bag with Cavalier King Charles Spaniel decal"

But do NOT bid on that bag without getting more pictures including the creed.

I'm not feeling positive about them.

Can you please post a clear straight on picture of the Coach name on the sole, a picture of the full sole, clear closeup of the label on the insole and
a closeup of the printed size and style information.

Is there anywhere that shows a style name, usually a female name?

I don't think those are authentic. The font on the sole is wrong, the label stuck to the insole is unlike any I've ever seen (although that doesn't necessarily indicate fake), and the stamping on the inside is the wrong font and incorrect/incomplete info.

I wonder....... see if the label on the insole peels off.

I'm thinking Vintage Coach. made in Italy. Any suggestions on name and if they are authentic. They are a nice black suede with rubber sole.
Thank you for your time.

I'm not going to be able to give you a definitive answer because I'm not familiar with the actual style and can't confirm or deny that Coach might have made a style of desert boots.

But based on my familiarity with Coach (in general) and its shoes, boots, sandals and sneakers, I feel comfortable in making some comments on why I think the boots are fake.

1. Style - although I'd never go so far as to say that they wouldn't have made a certain style of item (because we've all seen fugly items that have us saying "what were they thinking?") the boots just don't look even like one of those types of items.

2. Sole - though many of Coach's items have rubber soles, more often than not, the treading is a signature pattern rather than generic ribbed patterns. (I did find one boot style - Cantina - which does have a ribbed sole, but the Coach logo is the readily identifiable script pattern and the sides of the soles also have the Coach script logo.) And where there's a "COACH" name, it's either a lozenge logo or script. I don't believe that Coach would use a font such as is on your boots.

3. Insole label - usually on leather insoles, there's an embossed lozenge logo in Coach's familiar font. On items with a sewn on label, the label (in my experience) has a lozenge logo, as seen below:


4. Size and style information - font differs and information appears to be lacking, as compared to this:


I don't know for sure the answer to your question but based on what I do know, I don't think they're authentic.

Can they be returned?

I traded with a gal for them. She was sure they were vintage from the late 70s early 80s. But I really dont want to start a big mess with her about them.
I guess I just have no name boots for next winter. :(

I guess I will just keep them with a frown.
Thanks so much for your time.
You are appreciated.
