AUTHENTICATE this COACH

[kotoko]

It's authentic but it's very small. It's not really a purse unless used as such by a 3-year old.

It's about 5" wide by 3" high.

It's not a "purse" in any sense, it's just large enough to hold maybe a set of keys, an ID or some coins, but the strap would barely fit over someone's wrist. I use mine to hang from my purse strap and hold my mini garage door opener, it's not quite big enough to fit the larger opener that clips onto the visor.. It's not a wristlet either although the seller describes it that way. They won't even hold a very small basic cell phone.

Ohhh, okay thanks a bunch! It's adorable, but probably won't be that useful to me then.

I'm not comfortable with that one either, but Station Bags are easy to fake. The big red flag other than the serial prefix is that the top of the leather turnlock tab almost looks puffed or padded and it should be flat. I don't know if that's just from the edge of the flap but I haven't seen that on a Station Bag before and that would bother me a lot. The shape of the leather tab and size of the turnlock are just a tiny bit "off" too.

And I don't like how the edges of the creed are chopped off in the photo.

Thanks, Hyacinth.

You're welcome.

Have we ever seen a 1998 Y plant code with a different month prefix? The only Y code I have in my files is China in 2006.

I've never seen one from 2006 or from China either, and don't have any in my files other than the J8Y- ones.

This is the one I have. I don't remember where I got it, but it might have been on tpf. I don't have any other pictures of the bag.

Here's a listing with the same serial number.

Interesting - there's a very similkar one in Current listings:

It's a valid style, so it looks like there actually was a Y plant. But in China, not the US, and not in 1998.

Yep, and the matching tote is definitely genuine too, same Y plant code:

Thanks ladies, as always, I do appreciate your time!

The first picture is a Coach stock picture and the other pictures aren't definitive enough to authenticate. Please request pictures of the interior and if there's a creed, a picture of it.

Interesting. The plant must only been used for a short time, or they changed its designation. Maybe they decided to go to all numerical plant codes around that time.

Yep, the plant code format was changed right around mid-2006.

 

[Want Real Purse]

Hi, I'm posting another thrift store find, in my possession. I think it's a Lula's Legacy. From 2006? Would you say this is British tan? I wish it were in as good condition at the previous Lula's Legacy, but it's not. But I got it for $15. Thanks again wonderful ladies. If there's a lighter pic of another purse, ignore it. I'm still learning Photobucket.
