Found another vintage bag...is this authentic? Thanks in advance.

Measurements: 10" by 7.5" by 3"

No, it's a complete fake. The serial number has appeared in many other fakes, and is on the Fakes List. The details and measurements are also wrong for a Willis Bag.

Do you own this, and can you get your money back?

Please remember, we need everyone to use the format in Post #1 of this thread. It's hard to give advice unless we know if the bag is for sale or already bought.

That one may be genuine, I don't see any obvious red flags. The other two "Coaches" being sold by FIREFIGHTER618 are fake.

I missed the other 2 listings but this one appears to be okay.

Oh no. I just took better pictures of the creed and realized I probably bought a fake. Words seem to be misspelled! I thought I looked closely. Here are the better pics:

Oh, I'm sorry about the format. While you were responding I was taking better pics, see below. I bought it at a local thrift store for around $7.70. I definitely don't want it...but I'm not sure it's worth my time to bring back! I could always try.

Technically it's not "vintage" since that usually means at least 20 years old.



If you can't post a creed photo until you receive the bag, please be sure to post a link back to your original post, because a LOT of other posts will be added here in that one to two week space.

And I know it's not 20 years old because even though I can't read the year code I know that Coach didn't start using the style number as part of the serial number until 1994.

Ok, sure, thanks so much!

1- Small Swinger Bag style 4080 from the Lightweights line, late 80s-early 90s.

2- same as above :smile1:

I swear one side of the gray (or is it black or navy :p) one looks like pleather, it is the weirdest thing. The 'sueded' side is very evenly napped, and when you look closely even looks like it has a grain to it, like fabric! Would such a thing be possible? and maybe I shouldn't worry, hey as long as it's not a fake, I am happy.

And the "new" Classic Pouch looks fabulous! :smile1:

I don't know which surprised me more, that she was as old as she is, or that she was actually blue under the layer of grime!

Thanks so much for the help with these - and for improving my Coach knowledge!
