It looks like a Legacy West Small Hobo and matches the photos I have. Not all Coach leather and hardware is going to be the same as Coach's other styles, and the same goes for the rivet.

I've never had one for comparison but it seems ok to me.

Thank you. The rivet is not a cheaply made one, but it struck me as odd. Maybe I just have a suspicious nature. Thanks again!

Hi fellow purse forum folks!

I'm an up-and-coming fashion-ista, and I'm needing help in authenticating a bag that is claimed to be authentic Coach.

Here is the link:

Item Number: 310339332823
Seller Name: sraider1002​

I've attached the photos that the seller has on the page. Here they are:

Hi,
I read in an online article about authenticity of bags that the Willis Bag before 1990 didn't have the 9927 identifying model number on it.
Which bags are generally found with the fake serial number 012-3445? I just found that number on a list of fake serial numbers. That number seems to come out of nowhere in relation to all of the other fake serial numbers listed (lots of H4Bs, etc but just one starting in 012).
Also, I've seen a lot of badly made fakes ~ usually more than anything it seems they skimp badly on the quality of the leather. The one that was in question here looked like quality leather. Are there actually some counterfeiters who come close to the Coach leather quality?
Sorry for the long, quick reply. Thank you for your help!:smile1:

NO Coach items before 1994 had any style numbers as part of the serial number. Coach didn't start using style numbers as part of the serial until 1994.

The fake serial 012-3445 has shown up in a number of different obviously fake bags and should never have neen in more than one, that's what makes it a known fake number.

Yes, some counterfeiters especially the ones located in Korea used very high quality leather and were good craftsman as well. They've been making Coach and other designer name fakes for probably ay least 20 to 30 years and will probably keep right on making them.

If you have any questions afterwards I'll try to answer them. In the meantime, try to ignore most online "Guides" - very few are adequately researched and most are just Copied & Pasted from some other Guide.

No need to apologise for your long reply. You haven't tried to read my posts yet. ;)

Coach made 2 Peace Keyfobs with brass hardware. I can't tell if yours is ok without seeing the back of it though. The hangtags usually do say made in China. If yours is genuine it would have to be the first one, 92153 but we need to see the back.

BTW, the listing number would be a big help. In the future, please use the format requested in Post 1 as it helps us track shady sellers and repeat listings of fake items. Thanks!


Thanks for your response! I will use that format if I ever have another question....I have added a few more photos of the back and the hang tag to the link from the original posting....and here is the original e-bay listing:

I appreciate your time very much! Christine

The first picture I posted should be yours. One side looks very light in Coach's photo but sometimes their website photos had dome differences from the final release. The color is given as Brass-Turquoise so it should be ok.

I saw your original post for this listing but I am not familiar enough with the bag, colors, lining, hardware, etc. to feel confident in giving the green light.

I don't see red flags but hopefully, someone else might have the bag and can give a more educated opinion.

Sorry I can't help more.

Hello, I just received a Madison Crimson Sophia #15921 that I won on ebay. I have never seen one of these in real life and was surprised that the color was so dark. I know how your monitor can make colors look different. I have wanted this bag ever since it came out and have viewed it hundreds of times at Coach's site as well as ebay and all over the net. I always thought it was more of a bright red, not this super deep red color I received. My BF commented that is looks more the color of "blood red" literally as dark op of blood. Also the interior isn't a pale pink that I expected, it is more of a pinkish, coral color. The gal I bought this from has a 100% rating & high feedback number. I pretty sure it is authentic, but the color is nothing like I thought. It's so dark it almost looks brown? Coach has the new wine colors in some of the other styles and I thought to myself that they looked so close to the old crimson color. I have seen those IRL and this color is closer to what I expected with the exception of being a teeny hint towards pink. I wish I could include a pic but I don't know how to do that. Sorry. Here is the item # I won 190568385035. I haven't contacted her yet. I just got it last night. Since I never saw one in real life, I don't know what to say. Thanks
