AUTHENTICATE this COACH

[BeenBurned]

is this authentic?
Doesn't look like the creed says made in ____
Do any authentic bags not state that info?

Serial # G1276-F20427

It looks fine.

Not all creeds have "made in" on them. Some bags have a cloth or plastic tag sewn into the lining that tells where it was made.

I bought this and now I might have doubts. Any idea? I can post pics on the inside when I get it.

If it's 7x7 inches it's a genuine Compact Pouch.

Please post measurements when asking about older all-leather bags, thanks.

Thanks so much! I'm sorry for not posting inches, will do next time!

Okay I found other bags that have the same serial # on ebay so at least the serial number matches the bag.

It looks genuine. Not "vintage" since it's only 13 years old though, and showing some wear on the buckles and what looks like a little verdigris on the hardware. Verdigris is a condition that has to be taken care of quickly.

Thank you!

Is this authentic? I bought this from EBAY thinking that it was and just today saw this site and wish I knew of it before I bought it to check for an opinion. What is your opinion on this bag? I hope this is the right place to post this because I am new and trying to figure this all out. Thank you

This is a style number that is on many fakes, including fakes of the "correct" style so it's a good idea to have the style looked at.

But in this case, I think the bag is okay and when you receive it, if you'll post a picture of the creed, we can be sure.

Thank you

You're welcome.

Welcome to TPF and I'm glad you found us.

Your listing from seller kat01kat is fake.

Unfortunately, you're past the 45-day dispute period however if you funded your paypal purchase with a credit card, you can file a dispute with the credit card company.

Refer the seller kat01kat here and maybe you'll get lucky and she'll refund your money when she realizes that she illegally sold a counterfeit item.

Edited to add: It doesn't look like this seller is a dishonest seller. Although she did sell a fake and should have verified authenticity before listing, most of her other Coach items all look okay. I'm hopeful that she'll do the right thing for you.

She did sell another fake:

Another Edited to add: Unfortunately, this seller isn't doing her homework. Here's another fake she sold.

It's authentic, not from the 60's, more like late 70's - early 80's. It is called a slim satchel standard. I have this same purse. The color is most like the last picture.

Thanks! I figured the color was like that from the flash of the camera. I hope I win it!

VERY fake, sorry. You need to do as BeenBurned suggested and contact your credit card company immediately.

For starters, the style number is completely wrong, the creed patch is a mess and not stamped, cut or sewn correctly, the turnlock is fake and the Carriage emblem isn't centered correctly. Style 12948 is a Sabrina and should look like the bag shown below, and since the serial number is the same as the photo I posted from a genuine bag the creed patches should be identical too. The creed from the fake you bought is also posted for comparison.
