Coach black scribble bikini size medium, fits more like a small though. It was literally tried on and then put in a drawer. Just like new. Make me a offer will ship or pick up and cash or paypal only. Valparaiso IN I bought this new from Coach store thanks

Can anyone authenticate?

Fake! Every spring and summer, those fake string bikinis flood ebay.

This is what Coach's scribble bikini (style 3273) should look like. Please report any string bikinis you see.

What I find especially frustrating is that when they do find boards, whether the ebay discussion boards or TPF and they're advised that they have fakes, that they continue to neglect to verify authenticity of their items.

For example, in that post on the CAB (clothing) board, her own response in post #9 is that she DOES have her bags authenticated. I don't believe her!

Yes, and she didn't reply when she was asked who authenticates her bags! That is wrong..... As Hyacinth said we all need to be diligent about checking bags here nad then reporting if they are fake to try to keep them out of circulation. Thank you ladies for helping that to happen!

What shows in the pictures seems ok, but sellers really need to show more photos especially of the condition of the bag.

Comments: Believe this to be a poorly listed Saddlery Bag #9535 from the late 80's. I was the successful bidder and will supply additional photos if necessary when it arrives for authentication.
Must say however, I've always wanted a bag made of nature cowhide. What part of the cow do you suppose that comes from?

Comments: I couldn't resist this clutch for my personal collection. Arrived today and it is absolutely gorgeous. It still has that "new leather" aroma and came in the original gift box with original wrapping. I'm guessing it was an unwanted gift.

Does anyone have an idea of accurate name, year and if this was MFF or Boutique? Any help would be appreciated. Additional photos are available if needed. :ty:

My wallet is the dark gray color and the Coach lozenge on the inside is blind embossed, not colored with silver like this one. I have other wallets that have the silver coloring. I think it is authentic but without seeing an authentic one in the same color, I can't be sure.

Thanks, whateve. :smile1:

Any additional thoughts, BeenBurned and Hyacinth? Here is the listing info:

Authenticating older and vintage Coach bags is complicated. You should start with reading the Salearea Coach Guides posted at Ebay - the link is below, Save or Bookmark it. Following this thread and building a library of photos and text information is also necessary. Until you're experienced, it's always best to let the experienced members authenticate the all-leather classics. A lot of the fakes are spotted because of discrepancies in the creed or serial number and each situation is different. Contrary to what too many so-called authenticity guides claim, there really are no "Rules" except for the Never In Korea Rule.

It looks good and appears to be style 10468, a boutique item. I call it a foldover clutch wristlet but I don't know the official Coach name.

I saw the listing and I just don't feel comfortable authenticating it. Wallets are well-faked and without any other pictures of the same item in the same color (with decent pictures), I can't give a credible opinion.

I believe I've answered part of my question.
Coach Clutch, Style 42641, Putty/White Leather.

Does anyone have an idea of year released and if this was MFF or Boutique ??

I think you might be correct with the style. Now that I look at it again, the wristlet in my post isn't identical to yours.

My guess is that your item might be the MFF version of the one I posted.
