I don't see any red flags on the swingpack.



The bag is fake as is the wallet mnmidstokke also has listed. Note that the fake wallet was reported and moved on December 25 and she has relisted it.

Please report both.

ETA: Another pattern problem is on the center front of the bag. On both the actual marketed version as well as the invalid version, the patch to the left of the ocelot patch (center front) is supposed to be lurex. On the seller's fake, it's khaki signature jacquard fabric.

Here's a listing for an authentic listing for the same style bag:

I have this bag! I can't remember the exact name but it is something like signature stripe satchel. Nordstrom has it on their site and calls it "Coach Signature Stripe Patent Zip Satchel." Style # 12430

Keychain - I don't believe it's authentic. Other opinions are welcome.

Wallet - normally I don't comment on older items as they aren't my forte but in this case, I've had many, many wallets and every one of them had heat-impressed edging on the interior pockets. I've never seen an authentic wallet with stitched hems on the credit card pockets. I don't believe it's authentic, but again, other opinions are wlecome.

Purse - Please wait for Hyacinth and/or DemRam.

This seller also sold the same keychain in December. I've seen this keychain alot but always wondered it was real.

Thank you. I don't own many vintage wallets but none of them have stitching on the inside pockets either. My multifunction purse, which is similar to this one, has stitching on the pocket under the flap but has no interior pockets. I just noticed that it looks wonky to have that stitching along the right side of the pockets. I believe this part should be under the edging like it is on the left side of the pockets. The stitching is sloppy.

As we've said a thousand times, YKK zippers don't prove a darned thing.

What worries me is that the inside pocket seems to be cut crooked. The right side of the top layer of leather seems to be shorter from top to bottom than the left side does. The difference in size right to left is even making the creed stamp look crooked.

I can't say for sure either way but that uneven pocket doesn't seem like something you'd find in a real Coach.

1 -I'm not sure about the keychain, it's possible they did them in different colors for the outlets.

2- Sure, it happened a lot. Nothing wrong with it.

3- DON'T REPORT THAT WALLET!
Coach wallets used stitched edges on the CC slots up until the early or mid 90s. My Sheridan wallets are stitched. Please DON'T report heat-sealed wallets unless they're obviously newer than the mid-90s.

ETA - I should have said "Don't report stitched wallets unless they're newer than the mid-90s" - sorry!

Thanks. I thought the reversed codes were okay but I've never seen them on this style of bag - mostly Sheridans.

Do you know the style number of the wallet?

It looks fine. Sometimes the pattern isn't perfectly centered. This happens frequently with bags with curves.

We talked about the same style here just a few weeks ago.

Mini-C patterns sometimes couldn't be lined up evenly, most of them will be "off" along one seam or another. Please don't ever use seam alignment to try and authenticate Mini-C patterns. Even standard Sig C fabric doesn't always line up along the seams. Whatever "authenticity guide" you found that advice in, please ignore it.

Coach's own website photo for that style has a similar seam. See the pics below.
