AUTHENTICATE this COACH

[Hyacinth]

I am RIDICULOUS about court bags...
How is this one?

Item: Vintage Coach Court Ivory Leather Purse
Listing number: 281168396640
Seller: carolynvus
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/281168396640
Comments: I've attached an image of the creed. Is this authentic, and, if so, what year is it from (or can you tell?) Thanks again in advance!!

It seems genuine, but if you get it check to make sure that the details in all the photos match including the creed photo. It seems like there are a few dark marks on the inside pocket around the creed when you look at the seller's auction listing photos, and although it seems like at least one of those dark marks should also be shown in the separate creed photo, it isn't.

There's probably an explanation but it never hurts to check it over. The date made would be late 1980s to very early 1990s.

Ahh cool thanks so much Hyacinth! I will be sure to ask her and check it over. I'm so excited about this bag.

It looks like someone stamped Coach on the front of a random bag and added a hangtag. It isn't a Coach design. The hardware isn't Coach, and the stitching is super sloppy.

Thanks, Whateve! I figured as much...

I know there isn't a lot of authentication for these older guys... I just sent this to Jed/Archives and I'll update when I get more info! I also added this to the ID thread.

WOW...I figured the "baseball" style tags were surely extinct...what a piece of history!

Is there any way you can get a photo of the red Willis upright and turned about a quarter turn? We need to see the end of the dowel and also the shape of the area around the turnlock. We'd also like the same view of the tan Willis - just a creed photo usually isn't enough to authenticate. Thanks!

I think it's ok but the photos are really poor. I'd be a bit worried about the condition with so few photos.

Thanks as always Hyacinth, I'm a little worried to, but taking a chance. I am guessing it's a Bleeker of some sort. The only thing I could find close is a Bleeker Elisa, but it has lacing details. Do you happen to know the name?

There is so much more to learn , I have never thought about to look at the turn lock. Ok here is the read one:
The tan one doesn't have a picture of the side
Also could you help me to take a look at of the navy willis?


This one doesn't have very good pictures, but seller selling it as a new bag even with attached tag and booklet. Is that too good to be true?
