Thank you!
Please authenticate 3 bags. Sadly, from the reading I have done on this forum I think they might be fake! I love my mahogany bag, and I would like to find one in black. Maybe I need to be more patient. I have just started looking, but I have no idea how often one like this might come up.

#1 It's the Legacy Satchel from 1998
#2 Looks fine. It just happens to have been made in the same month, year and factory as your bag.
#3 I wouldn't want a redyed bag. Not unless it was a super rare vintage bag and there was no other choice to save it.

I found a bag exactly like yours at the Goodwill and I rehabbed it and it came out beautifully. It's a great bag and I gave it to my sister; she loves it and uses it often. It was an easy rehab, see the before and after pics below. There's still a lot of great use in your bag.

About the third listing
If the serial number posted by the seller is right, that bag is FAKE. I've owned 2 of that style and it wasn't even made until 1999, so a 1994 serial number means it's fake. There's also no reason why a 12-year old Coach would need to be redyed.
Seller littlemissmuffet808 needs to be a lot more careful about authenticating her items.

Hi,
I have the exact same bag...it is a Zoe and the style number is F14707...but as you were advised, always ask for pictures of the actual Creed patch of the bag for sale...I hope this helps!
Could you please tell me if this bag is authentic?
I don't know its name, but the serial number is AO05U - 1444
Thank you very much
Can you post a photo of the actual creed patch and serial number? We need to actually be able to READ the creed to authenticate it. The serial number as you posted it isn't valid and that number is often used in fakes. What I'm seeing of that bag does NOT look good and doesn't match the serial number.
The stitching especially on the leather trim and the handles is an absolute mess, just look at the last photo. You would NEVER see such sloppy workmanship on a genuine Coach.
This picture of the "other" side of the bag shows that the C fabric is seriously lopsided.

Is this bag yours or is it listed somewhere for sale?

1- genuine
2- probably a Classic Pouch, style 9170, from the 1970s.
3- genuine
4- Companion Bag, style 9300, from the 1980s
5- Legacy Leather Hobo, 2002. Many older bags as well as newer ones had "plastic" - actually nylon - zippers not just on the inside pockets but sometimes as the main zipper too.
