Could someone please authenticate this Coach wristlet?
Bought at Goodwill yesterday. Looks like previous owner used a suede brush on right side of front...the embossed "C's" are there and lined up as they should be...but the suede is much shaggier.
Approx. 7”w x 4”h x .5”d Strap drop 6.5”
Does she have a name? Approx age?
Any info is much appreciated...Thanks, as always, in advance!

It looks like style number 40279, I think the name was Suede Embossed Signature Wristlet probably from 2006 or 2007.

Thank you, ;)

Both seem genuine. The Willis was made in 1998 so it's not past the 20 year-old mark that we consider "vintage".

Thanks =))
We also need to see links to listings as it's helpful in gauging the seller and the history.

Personally, I won't authenticate nor recommend listings being sold on ebay.ph because we've seen too many AAA 5-star fakes and to the inexperienced Coach buyer, they're nearly impossible to identify as fake. The minute details that prove fake can be easily missed by even experts.


In fact, the second seller's (tj123010) listings have been posted here and commented on. The seller is one who is NOT to be trusted.

Hello Ladies..Here is a charity sale item I picked up for rehab. Just wanted to get your opinion first. It is approx. 11.5 X7.5 and has a pocket under the flap. The creed is a bit puffy and the numbersr un together, but have read here sometimes that is OK. Any help will be appreciated. If fake, well.. the money went to charity, so all is not lost. any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

I think it's ok, probably a Convertible Clutch
 
Hi everyone, I'm a new user here! Hopefully someone here might be able to help me out? I appreciate it.

What I've got here is a bag I bought off of eBay. It's a Park Metro Tote in Mahogany, with a tag saying that the Style Number 24341. There's a small frosted plastic tag in the interior side saying it was made in Vietnam. It looks good to me-- well-made, everything clean and neat. But one thing that bothered me is that the dog leash clip closure is vertical, whereas the pictures I've seen of 24341s have horizontal dog leash clip closures. I did find Style Number F25663 on Amazon.com, and they look EXACTLY the same as the 24341, except with the vertical closure like I have. So I guess the bag I got had the WRONG tag attached and is actually a F25663?

Also, is the Serial Number fake? It starts with "C1380". Is that even a real serial number for Coach bags?

Here's a Mahogany sold on eBay with horizontal dog leash clip: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-METRO-SAFFIANO-LEATHER-TOTE-/290995003757?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item43c0a7616d&nma=true&si=1aoJAy63Io5e9TLbf6XvxnP0yDI%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Here's a Mahogany selling now with horizontal: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-COACH-P...966?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item41785143ee
and another: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-A...132?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item3a85db361c

See on Amazon.com, the blue Tote has horizontal dog leash clip: http://www.amazon.com/Coach-Leather-Shoulder-Handbag-French/dp/B00DWH3E56

BUT here's a Mahogany that sold on eBay last month, with vertical dog leash like mine: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-Coach-P...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 and another that selling right now with vertical: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Coach-F...039?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item3cd71f5ab7 and another vertical: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-New-Coa...528?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item43bfd71838

The parchment Tote on Amazon.com, unlike the blue Tote, has vertical dog leash clip like the one I got: http://www.amazon.com/COACH-LEATHER-F24341-SILVER-PARCHMENT/dp/B00D9VRJGA

What do you think? Is my bag real? Is it a F25663 even though the tag said 24341? And is the Serial Number fake? Thanks for any help!!!!

I see what you're talking about.

What you refer to as a "vertical" clip is that it attaches front to back and what you refer to as "horizontal" clip attaches side to side.

I am not familiar with either style so I don't know how they're supposed to be or if Coach might have made the style two different ways. (Maybe someone who has the bag might know the answer to that.)

As for the comparison of two styles you're comparing, they are different sizes. The approximate measurements (based on listings) are:
24341: 19" L x 9.5" H x 6.25" D
25663: 13.75" L x 10.75" H x 4.25" D

Other than the differences in the clip, I don't see anything that indicates that your bag is fake.

The fact that we are seeing plenty of bags with each variation makes me believe both are authentic but I've never seen either IRL. The version I'm seeing at on Coachfactory.com now has what you refer to as a horizontal clip. A clip that direction is used in larger bags to cinch the sides of the bag in to make it appear smaller and change the shape, while the vertical clip is just used to make the contents more secure.
