Hi Hyacinth.

I have several items I would like to have authenticated. I will post them one at a time so as not to overburden you. Since these are not auction items, I am in no rush.

Thank you!!

Item Name: Ashley?
I don't think this is vintage

It seems ok, but there should be three hangtags. It's called an Op Art Large Sabrina and no, it's NOT vintage. None of the fabric bags are vintage since none of them is more than 12 years old, much less 20.

More opinions are welcome.
 
Hello All, could someone please authenticate? :flowers: I took the plunge and purchased, I've been looking for a black designer tote in this shape forever. : ) Seller has excellent feedback, so I'm pretty sure bag is okay, but just to be safe as I am unfamiliar with Coach... Thanks in advance!

Item Name: COACH Black Signature Print North South Tote Retails $248

Seller: a_beautiful_chick

We need a large, readable photo of the creed patch and serial number for authentication. Can you ask for one, or if you bought the bag, post a photo when you receive it?
 
Hi Hyacinth,

I would appreciate it very much if you could look at these two bags, letting me know if authentic and if so, what style/model are they and maybe a little about them (common/popular/any info much appreciate for a novice on Coach! I am getting very paranoid with what's real and not on eBay...Thanks so very much!

1- probably ok, but that seller makes almost NO effort to be sure her items are genuine, and has been mixing fakes with genuine bags on a regular basis. Her items are often "not as described" too. I personally won't recommend her, but that's your decision. I also STRONGLY suggest that you read her Negative and Neutral Feedback comments that are collected at Toolhaus.org. She's been mentioned here many times but the forum software doesn't recognize characters like *** and makes it impossible to Search here for posts about her, but there's plenty to read at Toolhaus:

ALWAYS check a seller's record at http://toolhaus.org before bidding or buying.

2- it looks genuine.

Thank you! Very helpful! Besides the reservation about buying from this seller (which I will NOT do), is this style one that exists as a real Coach bag? I saw one exactly like that in a thrift store and wanted to check if it was not a 'made up' style or format. I then came across this one on eBay but only two in this style I have seen (Googled it but not coming up with anyone like this). I'm trying to find out if it actually exists in any line by Coach or purely 'made up'?
Toolhaus is great - very good way to check sellers...!

The style is legitimate. But when buying from a thrift or resale shop, always find out their return policy in case you end up with a fake, since a lot of them are disposed of through resale shops.

You are correct about the tags! There were three but I took them off because they bugged me. Now they're probably somewhere with all my missing socks :). Thank you so much for your time & talent!
 
Thank you for finding someone to help me with this. Being new to this forum, I'm struggling with how to navigate around to find the contacts.

I understand, we've all been through the same thing. It really does get easier as you spend more time here. Once you figure out what kind of questions are allowed and not allowed at each forum you'll feel a lot more comfortable.

Anyway, I hope you'll get a few answers that can help. It can be a PITA when you're new because you have to have a certain number of posts before you can start a post of your own, so I figured if I started one for you it might solve that problem at least.

The important thing to remember when asking about any Coach bag is to show a photo of the creed patch and serial number whenever possible. That's a major element in identifying or authenticating a bag.
 
Item: Legacy Slim Bucket Tote - #9809
Listing #: 251129939112
Seller: luck.runs.out
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Dark-...1348438279723909200&pid=100033&prg=1011&rk=2&

Comments: I'm rehabbing a bag just like this (except a lighter color B8B-9809) and considering reselling. (if I don't fall in love first :p) I've seen various descriptions but would very much like to know the "correct" name to accurately describe my listing when the time is right.

Thanks!
