I'm not sure about the other one. It's hard to tell which photos are of which bag.

First photos are the first bag.

I found a fake Madison satchel large today....I was shocked! I've had a dozen or more and never run across a fake one. It's good but obvious next to an authentic one. I'll post some comparisons in a bit.

Hi all
Can anyone authenticate this wallet for me and also tell me the name of the collection it may be from.
Thanks

Genuine, probably from the Hamptons line

I'm not sure of the exact name but there was a picture frame keychain from the same collection called perforated picture frame so I think "perforated" was probably in the name. I can't tell if this is the same wallet. This picture is style 8645 and is from 2004.

Coach scarf
Purchased from private individual

From research I see that these were given only to employees and High rollers to commerate the merger between Harrah's Entertainment and Park Place Entertainment (Caesar's Palace) in Las Vegas. These were never offered for sale. On
one corner it has Harrahs' and on another It reads Caesars.
No mention of Coach on the scarf..or tag. Anyone know if they are legit Coach..thanks :)

I agree that there's no indication that it's fake. The tagging and markings are different from store-bought scarves but it's possible/probable that commemorative items have different markings.

Heres the large Madison satchel comparison. Sketchy one is always on the left. I forgot to take a front view but the tabs are Skinnier and longer on sketchy. Scary how good the fake actually is. The dimensions are wrong, hardware is wrong, Creed and flap is wrong, and the bottom outside and in are the dead giveaways.

Ok so I did a quick search and found a couple of other briefcases that I like. If you would give them a quick look and tell me what you think it would be very much appreciated.

This one is a smaller bag, and I actually like that about it. My laptop and iPad swill fit just fine in it so would be a bit sleeker than the bigger size Beekman.

This says its a vintage bag but I am not sure, and do you think if I took it to a cleaners or a shoe repair shop they could breathe new life into it? I live in NYC so there are ample leather and shoe repair shops that may be able to fix it up.

I don't know whether 233-5678 is on Hyacinth's fake serial number list (because I'm too lazy to look) but it appears to be a serial number that's been on fakes before.

Notice "scrtches" is misspelled.
Here's a cached listing: http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...41+&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a

You had me worried for a minute because I've been kicking myself for not buying a large Madison satchel at Savers a few weeks ago because it was missing the strap. But now that I see the creed and the bottom, I'm sure I wouldn't have been fooled. Thanks for the comparison pics.

I believe the first one is a Beekman. I'm not sure what you are referring to when you say it is smaller. The second one is nearly vintage, made in 1994, so in one more year it will qualify as vintage. It is called an Essex. I believe it can be fixed up. I don't know how good of a job the shops in your area will do, but if it were mine, I know I could fix it up easily myself. The holes in the piping can be repaired with acrylic, the black color could be refreshed, and leather conditioner would make it look almost new again.

Two Soho Totes. I have about 6 of these and every single one are completely different, fonts, zippers, buckles, etc. Same basic measurements. These 2 I'm most unsure about. TIA

If the two photos from the top (into the open bag) are two different bags, I have concerns about both based on the zipper pulls. The one with the PIT- creed is obviously fake, as Whateve has pointed out. If J6R- belongs to the other, I have my doubts.
