Hi...already purchased this Coach off ebay but can't find the YKK on the zipper so before my time runs out to file a claim for it not being authentic, was wondering if anyone can help me in determining if I got ripped off!
Here is the link to the auction, which ended ,and I will attach pics as well. Ty in advance!

Hi...I was wondering if someone could take a look at this Coach tote--I have had it for a few years ( purchased on ebay) but never had it authenticated. Also, would this be called a Coach Soho Waverly? Thanks in advance!

Hi Fallinstarrzz! I don't know much but I do know Coach does not always use zippers with YKK! I have several I purchased directly from Coach that don't have them. My brand new Ashley in geranium has "IDEAL" stamped on the zipper. I purchased it through the Coach's on-line factory sale! Rest easy, that doesn't make your beautiful bag a fake! =]]
Ty Blessed...as I read more & more I do see they used different zippers...the purple Coach pictured above has ideal on the zipper as well.... everything else looks good to me on it but I don't know for sure... still value an experts opinion! Fake or not?
Help authenticating please?
No idea what it might be, $1.50 at thrift store.
Dimensions: 12x8x3.5
The leather is fairly thin, so perhaps it's from the lightweight collection? Or it is really worn, even the creed is hard to read, but from what I can see with very squinty eyes and awesome lighting, no clear misspellings or punctuation errors. Looking at the attached picture, though, it seems like "WRINKLES" might appear as "WRINNLES", and yet when I look at the actual creed, I do see "wrinkles".
509-5934, made in the United States.
Hardware:
The ring of the zipper pull is squished, but used to be a circle - doesn't really show in the pic..

Style 4157 is the Soho "Buckle Bag" and yours was made in 1997.
It looks just fine.
Thank you !

It's a Swinger from the Lightweight collection, style 4040, probably made sometime around 1988-1990.
Hello all! I picked this up today at a rummage sale for 25 cents. I believe it is authentic (it has the yummest leather), but my knowledge of leather bags is limited. Any information you can give me about it would be wonderful.

Please don't ever ever EVER think a Coach is fake, or worse yet, REPORT IT, because the zipper doesn't say YKK !!!!!!
Read my Signature below my posts, then read all of the Salearea Guides posted at Ebay starting here:

and then take every single piece of nonsense you ever made have heard or read anywhere else about what "proves" a Coach is real or fake and throw it in the deepest trash pit you can find.
THE NAME ON A ZIPPER PROVES NOTHING !
