AUTHENTICATE This COACH

[Raven3766]

The picture of the creed is blurry. Where was it made? It will have the country on the creed, but I can't read the wording.

It looks like a Janice's Legacy and looks OK pending the creed info.

Dominican Republic...it's hard to take a picture. That little purse is hard to open.

I know that it is difficult to get a clear shot of the creeds on some of those bags.

I would say it's an authentic Janice's Legacy from...is that a 9? If so, it's from 1999.

Yep, it's 9950

Sorry, I didn't mean to confuse. 9950 is the "style number" I meant...is the prefix E9Z or E8Z? If it's 9, that would mean it's from 1999.

Oops Duh...E9Z and it's 1999! Thanks for the Coach lesson and the authentication.

The first and second listings are for a genuine Metropolis Flap bag from 1996 and 1997. The third listing is a complete mess and the description AND the serial number in the listing don't match the bag in the photos, which was made at least 10 years before the other 2 bags and can't be compared to either of them.

I have a quick question about those key fobs that can be found in some of the older coach bags. The Metropolis Flap i had authenticated doesn't have a key fob. It is also not lost because there is no little brass knob where the key fob would attach to. This one does have a key fob but is also a 1997 production.--->

Does that mean one of those bags is not authentic? Can bags of the same style have different features?

Hello, would anyone be able to authenticate this vintage coach? It has no serial, but creed stamp says 'made in united states', when I though all pre-serials were made in NYC.

Posting links to your own listings is usually considered "advertising" and is not allowed. And that bag is fake. There are several problems. You should read the valid Guides on serial numbers and creed stamps posted here at Ebay, since your information about creed stamps isn't accurate: Serial Numbers: http://reviews.ebay.com/Coach-Serial-Numbers-the-Basic-Facts?ugid=10000000034886433 Creeds; http://reviews.ebay.com/Coach-Creeds-the-Basic-Facts?ugid=10000000030821024 SALEAREA GUIDES http://search.reviews.ebay.com/members/salearea_W0QQcpnameZmembersQQprZsaleareaQQuqtZg

Hyacinth, did you notice this other listing from the seller whose listing was posted?

Was this bag was made by Coach? Note that the serial number is W7B-9927. And does a Willis have a handle on top?

I also have question about the turn locks. The turn lock on the backside looks like it was prenotched in those 4 spots where the little "thingys" are pressed on. I have almost 20 classic turnlock coach bags and not one does have those prenotched spots. I'm really starting to have doubts about this bag although the serial# is accurate.

The 1997 bag was Catalog Only and they probably changed the keyring holder in one or the other.

Sorry, I'm having problems with the links in this forum. CORRECTION -The tan bag AND, the Willis are BOTH fake. This is the fake Tan one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261068961570

Then use your own judgement. I don't have all the answers.

ah ok. thanks for the info!

I guess my question was if Coach has had only one style of turn lock or if they have used different styles or maybe suppliers throughout the years. That would maybe explain the strange looking backside of the turn lock.

Sorry, I can't answer that. And turnlocks can be replaced.
