Item # 111046200389

Hello! I asked about this one yesterday but did not hear anything. (I'm not even sure what style this is, I just like the bag and size) The auction closed and since it was a great price, I bought it to use as my first rehab project. Did I waste my money? I'm new here, hope I'm not asking incorrectly.. thank you for your help!
 
Hi ladies - my first time posting on this subject but curiosity got the best of me... Back in 2007 I received a Coach (or what I though was Coach) wallet as a birthday gift from a dear friend. I thought it was a rather expensive gift and felt terrible she spent so much money on it, but it came wrapped in real Coach paper, with a Coach gift box and a Coach shopping tote. Those were definitely authentic and I didn't question the authenticity of the wallet.

I used that wallet for years as I haven't been into wallets much until recently, and only swtched out of it at Christmas when my MIL gave me a crimson patent Ashley wallet. Well today I happened to see my old Coach wallet when I was putting something away in my closet, and all of a sudden I got curious to see what style # it was. Imagine my shock to find that there is no style number anywhere on it. Just a small tag inside that says 'made in China'. Is it safe to assume I carried a fake for all these years?
 
Hey, just wondering if i could get this authenticated?

Item Name: I think it is a Coach Willis
The first photo is of the front, the second photo is of the back (it has a pocket) and the third is of the creed.

Let me know if more are needed/they are unclear.

Thank you!

No. There usually aren't style numbers on wallets. If you post pictures, we can authenticate it for you. Your Ashley wallet doesn't have a style number on it either, does it?

It is fine. Authentic Willis from 1994.

I saw this one but I didn't answer because I don't know this style. I was hoping someone else would chime in. I don't see any problems with it.

Please post pictures of your wallet. Show the front, back, inside and any imprints and tags.

"Made in China" isn't (necessarily) a red flag as many Coach items are made in China as well as other countries.
 
I'd value opinions, please, on two different bags currently on eBay:

Item: COACH Shoulder Bag Purse Yellow GUC
Listing number: 171022466244
Seller: my3babybears2010
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171022466244?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Comments: over-strikes around the serial number seem almost "forced" - i.e. "intentional" - also, what about how the word MARKINGS is divided between 2 lines?
If this is authentic, what is the style number and name, please?

Item: COACH Square Saddle Bag Purse Pistachio Green Leather
Listing number: 380611333966
Seller: itsasimplelife4us
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/380611333966?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Comments: Seller says this is NOT an Emmie Flap 9018, but rather serial number D6K-4453. Isn't a 4453 a very different (and much newer) bag? And was the "K" plant still using the older creed patch wording in 1996?

Thanks very much!
 
Hi! Please take a look at this "Janice" when you get a minute. It's been painted or polished heavily. My concerns are
1) sloppy stitching on the zipper ends
2) buckles are silver but the strap grommets and the snaps on the bag are silver
3) Creed font is different from my other one.

TIA

The overstamping plus the thickness of the numbers make me believe this one isn't authentic. It looks like it is trying to look like Soho Thompson drawstring bag #4151.

For the second one, the triple frame around the Coach lozenge at the top of the creed is unusual. The style number 4453 was used in 2005 for a fabric bag. If it weren't for the bad creed, I would have believed this was an Emmie Flap.
