^^^ I'd love to see the tag on that one.

These don't look like any Coach bags I've seen. I'm not comfortable with them but with such lousy pictures, I also don't feel comfortable reporting them.

THere's no way I'd recommend fashionforwardfashions.

Creed has bizarre impressions.

Many thanks in advance for authentication help.

Sometimes the light stamping happened. The only time you should be concerned is if the creed is a combination of both light and heavy stamping all mixed together.

Here's a fake Duffle Sac where you can see the differences in how the letters are stamped, and a fake Station Bag where it's really easy to see:

oh wow yeah I can tell the difference now. Thanks for sharing :)

So the "worth"bag is the gray blue one? Can you educate me if its not too much trouble on the mistake on the month code? I will try to retain the information! hyacinth the brass buckle tip is a good one... no coach bags say "solid brass" ?or are there some that do say it?
Click to expand...
I have one bag that says "solid brass" and it is pre-creed, meaning that it just has the word Coach imprinted and nothing else. The buckles are extremely heavy so you can tell they really are solid brass. The bags that I have that are a little newer, made in the mid to late 70's, have much smaller buckles. They could be solid brass but it would be difficult to imprint anything on them because they are so small. I've never seen a bag with a serial number with "solid brass" stamped on the buckles. If the buckles on your bag were solid brass, you would know because they would be very heavy.

Yes, the "worth bag" is the gray blue one, style #4143 - it's a Soho Worth Bag. The first digit of the creed is the month code. Normally, the letter "I" wasn't used because it could be confused with the number 1, but sometimes plants made mistakes. I found several similar bags that had the same mistake, and all other details of the bag look good, so I'm confident it is authentic.
