AUTHENTICATE this COACH

[Hyacinth]

Hello everyone!

I'm very new to the forums and have been reading page after page of both the "authenticate this" and "answers to AUTHENTICITY questions". I've both learned a lot and become somewhat paranoid! I guess that's pretty typical though.

In any case, I have this Coach Carryall Tote bag, style #7052 that I am wondering about. Many things look "right" with it (hardware, zippers, font, Cs line up nicely, etc), but I am a bit concerned about the uneven stitching along the very top of the bag. Other pictures of this bag that I have seen online seem to have similar stitching but of course they may not be real so it's not a good indication...!

I hope the photos are clear enough, if someone can give an idea of authenticity I'd be very grateful:

Coach stitching isn't always perfect. I don't see any problems with it.

BTW, when you have a lot of large photos to post, it may be easier to just use a free Photobucket account and upload the pics to a public album, then post the album link here. It's a little easier on the forum's bandwidth.

Already done.

After it's pulled, she will probably relist it... she's done that already with a kate spade. Of course, eBay pulled it a second time... so we'll have to keep our eyes open on this one!

Comments: serial number says : D8C-9036

Thanks for any help.

Interesting - it looks completely genuine but there's nothing about it in my files. I don't see any problems.

 

[Hyacinth]

I believe this is part of the Ashley collection. Authentic?? Yes or no. It's not on Ebay or anything. Just a friend trying to sell it to me. I really like it and just want to know if its real or not. Thanks.

WE need to see a clear readable photo of the creed patch and serial number from inside the bag. One photo isn't enough to tell if something's authentic.

Both, it's a Fletcher Bag from the Soho line.

Thanks...you're sooooo good to us!

Last one Please authenticate:
Item: Coach Navy Blue purse
Purchased on ebay
Measurements: 8" tall, 9.5" wide at widest point, 3" deep
Comments: No serial number and creed patch is awfully close to the stitching and slightly crooked

Forgot to take a picture of the back of the purse, it's plain, no slip pocket.
Thank you!

It looks like some kind of early Hippie Flap style but if DemRam comes by I hope she'll take a look. Seems ok to me though.

Please authenticate
Coach Black small bucket
Purchased on ebay
Measurements: 7.5" tall, 10" wide at top, bucket diameter 6" at base
Comments: the serial number was hard to photograph, it is B7D 9019, the ring on the zipper pull is copper colored....? Perhaps the pull was replaced?

Thanks

Seems to be a genuine Maggie Duffle.

Please authenticate
Item: Brown Coach Purse
Purchased on ebay
Measurements: 10" wide, 7.5" tall, 2.75" deep at base
Comments: This purse has no serial number, which seemed like a flag to me, but since Coach is anything but consistent...

Thanks

Please check the Salearea Guide in Italian-made Coaches:

It looks like a Dakota Rider Bag, style 4200 from 1992.

Thank you DemRam, and thanks again to Hyacinth. I am considering selling the bag on ebay (if I can bear to part with it!), and I do not want to give any false or misleading information. Other crescent bags I have seen for sale do include the creed and a serial number, so I realize those are probably from the later 70s, etc. My conclusion is thus: my particular bag is surely a Cashin DESIGN (because of that design's 1964 release), but it cannot be known for sure whether it was actually made during her time at Coach. If I am wrong, please correct me. Otherwise, I thank you both again for your information and promise not to ask anymore questions!

That sounds accurate to me - and thanks for taking the time to make sure you've described the bag as accurately as possible! Too many sellers just throw around Bonnie Cashin's name on anything that's more than 10 years old and it's really unfair to buyers who don't know how to research her history.

Sorry, I'm not familiar enough with the Photo items to help, but maybe others who are can give an opinion. The seller's other items look ok though.

I bought this at the Goodwill for 10 dollars and am curious if it's genuine and if it is, what anyone might know about it. Thanks!
The serial number picture didn't come out as well as I'd like. It says
no. 455-6018.
Dimensions are approximately: height 10in, Width 9 in, Depth 5 in.
Thank you so much!
