You really need to have your items authenticated and ask any questions before bidding and/or buying. It's not fair to sellers and in fact, is violating ebay rules.

Yikes! I didn't know it was violating Ebay rules and I never thought of it as being unfair to sellers. Truly. Sorry about that. I will discontinue that practice in the future.

It isn't authentic. The zipper pull ring is fake. The stitching on the zipper pull is wrong - we have seen this on other fakes. There is no zipper stop at the end of the zipper. The overlap on the piping looks sloppy. There are a few other things that look off to me.

That "puffy" creed is another red flag too. You see that on some genuine Chinese-made bags and also in a lot of fakes but it shouldn't be in a bag supposed to have been made in the US before 2000.

My daughter is interested in this one.

Item: COACH BLACK LEATHER HANDBAG POCKETBOOK PURSE
Listing number: 330932762140
Seller: thriftybuyandsell
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-BLACK...140?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item4d0d21361c

Comments: Is April 1995 too early for a 9991? Had the "H" plant changed to the new creed wording already by then? Is there anything obviously amiss?

Thanks very much!

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had had a chance to examine the bag I posted about? If the pictures are not good let me know and I will take some more. I am so curious to find out anything about it.
Thank you very much.

I didn't include a picture of the front of the bag, I hope the photos are ok to make a decision. Thank you all for your help. :smile1:

Your pictures are fine. I was out (buying more Coach!) You didn't say the measurements. If it measures about 10 inches wide and 8 inches tall, it is probably a classic pouch #9170. I've never seen one with pebbled leather though.

ETA: Check out the Rehab Club in the Clubhouse section of the Coach forum to learn how to restore your bag.

That is gorgeous! Looks authentic. I have never heard that about Grace Kelly - I don't know if that is true.

Let me try this again. Sorry for the error.

I've never seen that tag before. I have the small Sophia made in the same plant in the same month, and the creed matches. The bag looks authentic. This bag was recently sold on the Factory Online Sale. It is possible they created this tag for that sale. Since there is no bullseye on the creed, it would alert the SAs that it was bought at a factory price if it were returned without a receipt. You could ask on the FOS discussion thread if anyone got the same tag with their purchase of this bag.

ETA: I forgot your original question. PH stands for parchment, but this bag is gray, right? It could be a tagging error.

Wow thank you so much for the information. The bag measures about 9.5 inches wide by 8.5 inches tall so it seems you are right on. Do you have any thoughts on how old it is?

According to some reports, this is one of the oldest Coach styles. This one was probably made in the late 70's or early 80's. Coach didn't start numbering their bags until then. I have almost the same bag.

Hi gals! I'm back. Buying my first coach on ebay hasn't satiated me! I'm in love with my first bag and already doing rehab on it. <3
Anyway my mom also fell in love with my bag and wants me to help her purchase one. So before I go bidding, could I get authentication on these two? Thanks so much!
