Coach has ever made them with handle. This is made in USA.


Item: Authentic Brown Leather Coach Purse, c. 1980s Bag/Purse/ Handbag
Listing number: Etsy
Seller: BlackbirdMidwest

Thank you and your comments are much appreciated!

The first is a Casino Bag from 1995 - technically not Vintage yet, but close

Second is a Pocket Purse from 2002, NOT 1980s as the seller claims. It seems to be genuine.

The 3 listings appear to be okay.

Regarding Linda*s***stuff, personally, I don't recommend her. She has a long record of not authenticating items before listing and has had many fake Coach, LV, Chanel, Gucci, Prada and possibly others. But because of the volume of business Linda brings to ebay, getting her listings removed is next to impossible.

I don't think Linda is a dishonest seller, but she certainly doesn't do her homework before listing and although her listings state that all items are authenticating prior to posting them, that simply isn't the case.

Additionally, her descriptions aren't always accurate and don't fully disclose flaws, wear, damage, etc. She does have an easy return policy but it's still a PITA to have to do if you get one of her "not as described" items.

BeenBurned - thank you so much for authenticating these bags over for me. I did some more research, including reading through the thread related to her store on this page, and decided that she's too much of a liability for me. Sure, I could be one of her large number of satisfied customers in the last year, but with my luck I'd add to the 300+ negs. Too bad, since I really like that particular purse.

I do have some more authentication requests. Sorry there are so many of them, but thank you so much in advance! I definitely would like someone to weigh in on the last two listings, since I would bet money that one is fake.

1) Item: COACH POPPY GRAFFITI GLAM TOTE 16052
Listing number: 280811164790
Seller: raulcoach
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/280811164790
Comments: There's a noticeable absence of the word "authentic" in the listing, but I'm thinking this was just an oversight by the seller as the bag looks okay.

2) Item: NWT Coach Madison Graphic OP Art Sateen Demi Bag 46669 $158
Listing number: 310372137377
Seller: jbnangia
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/310372137377
Comments: The seller didn't include a photo of the creed.

3) Item:COACH Hamptons Colorful Multi-Color Patchwork Purse Tote Handbag Bag 10444, VG!
Listing number: 320830654114
Seller: sbrady56
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-Hampt...Purse-Tote-Handbag-Bag-10444-VG-/320830654114
Comments: I have listed this one to contrast one another similar, currently listed bag. Of the two, I'd guess that this one is authentic, but definitely could use a second opinion.

4) Item:Coach Hamptons multicolored patchwork tote/purse cotton canvas 10454
Listing number: 220937688141
Seller: susanwalkingdog
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Hampt...-tote-purse-cotton-canvas-10454-/220937688141
Comments: The patch on the front looks crooked, the hang tag is brown as opposed to the green and yellow ones that I've seen elsewhere on this style, the creed is a different color, and I wasn't aware that this style had a signature inside lining. Also, the style number is different - were there two different style numbers for this bag, or is this more evidence that this one's fake?

Again, I apologize for how many there are, but greatly appreciate your time and help! :)

It's fine. Note that many sellers don't use "authentic" in listings because the listing itself implies authenticity. Fakes can't be listed so essentially, use of "authentic" is redundant. Often, lack of the word isn't necessarily a red flag.

2) Item: NWT Coach Madison Graphic OP Art Sateen Demi Bag 46669 $158
Listing number: 310372137377
Seller: jbnangia

Authentic. The bag is a small demi and many of Coach's smaller items are considered accessories. They may or may not have a creed and those with creeds may or may not have serial numbers.

3) Item:COACH Hamptons Colorful Multi-Color Patchwork Purse Tote Handbag Bag 10444, VG!
Listing number: 320830654114

Authentic

Fake. Note that hangtags shouldn't be used to determine authenticity of the bag they're on because hangtags can be replaced/lost. But in this case, the fake hangtag should go into the same trash pile as susanwalkingdog's fake bag.

Again, I apologize for how many there are, but greatly appreciate your time and help! :)
