Can you please give me some opinions on the authenticity of these three? Thank you!

Comments-Strap is a little longer than the Mah 1996 Helen's Legacy below, did strap lengths vary a little by year?

What year was the Leatherware dropped from the Coach creed patch, 1995?

Thank you!

I can not get my other picture to attach...the buyer says they have had it a few years and sent me a picture of the creed. It says Costa Rica? Does that sound right? I will try to get the picture on here later...

I called coach and the J8p-9927 is the number of a bag that was made after 2000. The number is stamped clearly in the picture, but the section That says This is a coach bag is not stamped crisp like my other bags, but it could be the angle or glare?

Picture of my screen with my phone...what do you think, the picture did not come out that good...

Excuse me while I bang my head against the wall for a few minutes....


First of all, NEVER DEPEND OR EVEN BELIEVE ANYTHING A "COACH REP" TELLS YOU (AND THEY DON'T EVEN WORK FOR COACH, BTW, THEY'RE A CONTRACTED CUSTOMER SERVICE COMPANY THAT HAS NO TRAINING WHATSOEVER IN COACH NAMES, NUMBERS, OR AUTHENTICITY!!!)

The idiot you talked to may be able to tell you when your recent order is going to be shipped but if you want VALID information on Coach styles you'd have better luck asking tthe garbageman.

The year code on the bag is for 1996, the style number is for a Willis Bag that was first made IN 1993 and is STILL being made!

Sorry to shout but I get absolutely FURIOUS when the hired help who know NOTHING about Coach give out such utterly WRONG information. Please don't EVER call them again with that kind of question, or believe anyone else who says "I called Coach and they said... BLAH BLAH BLAH" because whatever they were told is 95 percent sure to be complete and utter BS.

I suugest you read the Salearea Guides about Coach especially the ones on Serial numbers and creeds if you want ACCURATE information.

We need to pictures of the rest of your bag, but there's nothing inhererantly fake about a Costa Rica creed. Next time ask here first instead of wasting your time calling Coach. You also may want to read what I wrote about "authenticating" bags by phone or at a Coach store:
http://www.ebay.com/gds/Coach-Authenticity-Guides-Facts-and-Myths/10000000062607882/g.html

Please photograph a 3/4 view of the front and side of the bag. and a straight-on view of the front with the camera at the same level as the bag.

1 and 2- both years show the strap length as 50 inches. The bags seem ok
3- looks ok

"What year was the Leatherware dropped from the Coach creed patch, 1995?"

It depended on when each plant got their new creed stamps

It seems ok. The color is more green than Turquoise, the full-length shot probably shows the color most accurately.

Do all Coach outlet bags carry a number or only the bullseye (a bit confused after checking a couple other sites on the internet - I couldn't find an answer)?

DON'T depend on or even believe "information" posted on other sites, 95 percent of it is wrong. Read my Signature under every one of my posts.

Whether or not they were sold at an outlet, smaller bags like Swingpacks and Pouches may or may NOT have numbers.

Not all bags sold at the outlet have bulls-eyes, and a bulls-eye doesn't prove an item is genuine.
