Hello, I was wondering if someone would be so kind to authenticate this one for me. I found her at a yard sale for $1.50. I figured for that price it wouldn't hurt to take a chance and find out if she is real or not. The style number is 4601. Thank you all so much!

It's authentic. I don't remember the style name or number. Is it about 8 inches tall? On these older bags, the number was a unique serial number, not the style number. Wait for Hyacinth or Demram to tell you the name.

Awesome, thank you! Yes, it is 8 inches tall. So the serial number would be 626-4061. Thank you so much for the info, I think I will try to clean her up and get her looking good again, although she's in pretty good shape, considering. Thank you so much!

You're welcome. I'll be looking for your "after" pics in the Rehab club!

Hello, Please could someone authenticate this coach bag. Thank you so ver much!

Item Name (if you know it): I don't know. The bag was listed as Coach Calfskin bag made in Italy, but honestly the "leather" felt of man-made material to me.
Link (if available): No link
Then attach any photos (all authentication must include photos.) Photos attached. Please let me know if further shots are required

It looks good.

Your comment about the leather isn't the first time I've read that. I think people aren't used to the type and quality of leather the Italian-made bags use and it's often questioned as being plastic-y.

Thank you so much for the very quick reply! Boy, do I owe the seller an apology! :shame: When I questioned the seller, the issued a full refund so I had no doubt that the seller was honest. I thought they were just uninformed as they did profess to not "know" coach bags. I only paid $20.00 for the bag, but will still return it to the seller. Maybe they can sell it for a higher price and it will work out better for everyone. - Dee

It's from the 1997 Manhattan Collection and it's genuine, also very hard to find. I don't even have a catalog showing the half-dozen or so bags from that line so production was very limited.

Let me apologize in advance for what may be perceived as an OTT response. But any of us who have been falsely accused of selling fakes can probably relate.

If you ever make another purchase where you question authenticity, I beg of you to please, please, PLEASE verify that you are correct in your assumption before accusing the seller of breaking the law. (And the sale of counterfeit goods is illegal so someone accused on selling fakes is being accused of breaking the law.) Even when we know that our items are authentic, the stress of dealing with the accusation, disputing it or, as in the case of your seller, writing it off as a loss is horrific.

As you can see, it was very easy to come to tpf, post your pictures and get the information you needed. If indeed, the bag were deemed fake, you would have had these posts to refer the seller to in order to "prove" your case.

I'm sure the seller appreciated your sincere apology. Please refer her here and beg her not to destroy that gorgeous bag!
