AUTHENTICATE this COACH

[whateve]

Hi, there can someone provide information regarding the following items.

Item #1

Vintage Coach Tan Taupe Leather Doctor Satchel Bag

Seller: station_85

Item no. 360675683968

Link: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/360675683968

Comment: Would this bag be a good candidate for a bath if it's genuine rather than a dye job?

Item # 2

Vintage Coach Dark Brown Leather Dome Satchel

Seller: thecoachexpress

Item no. 390608463173

Link: http://www.ebay.ca/ca/itm/390608463173

Comment: could I get a hang tag for this colour? And would you recommend giving it a bath to see if the colour would even out?

Thanks in advance

The first one is a genuine soft satchel #4055 from the Lightweights line, probably from 1989 or so. I have had trouble rehabbing bags from this line. More spots seem to show up after a bath. The leather is thinner and very soft. This is a gorgeous style but I think you would probably have to dye it.

Sorry the link for item #2 should be http://www.ebay.ca/itm/390608463173

I believe this one is authentic also. You should be able to find a hangtag that is close in color. You would have more luck asking at a factory store than calling JAX. I don't think the color will even out very much with a bath. It depends on what is causing the spots. The darkening could be oil stains. Blackrocks might camouflage it a bit.

You are doing it correctly. They all look authentic. The first one was made between 1988 and 1994. The second one is part of the 2006 Legacy collection. The Willis was made in 1995.

AH ha, my bag been burned. Thank you so MUCH for clearing that up. Wow that one can be a tricky one. Thx for getting right back!! As always you guys are the "BEST of the BEST!!"

You're welcome.

Hi. Here I found another bag from the same seller with the creed... Is it fake?

I don't believe that bag is authentic.

I am not at all comfortable with the seller,

Hello! Please could you help to authenticate this

Item: appears to be a pocket purse or convertible clutch

Seller: It's for sale in the uk.



Comments: not sure about the creed...

There are no measurements as yet and the seller has not claimed to know anything about it except what she can see, having no knowledge if coach.

Many thanks in advance!

It looks like a pocket purse if the measurements are right and it comes with the paperwork! The creed looks fine.

Greetings Coach Ladies -

Could I get an opinion on these bags before I bid/buy? Had my heart set on using my PCE for a Pebble Phoebe and Coach excluded them. Seller was great about posting creed photos and extra close ups. Seller also states that bag was bought online from Bloomingdales.


NWT COACH Madison Leather Phoebe Shoulder Bag 24621 Pebble Grey/Silver
Seller: caltrade2000
Item #: 151058111560
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-COACH-M...der-Bag-24621-Pebble-Grey-Silver/151058111560

The same seller has another Pebble Phoebe listed here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-COACH-M...er-Bag-24621-Pebble-Grey-Silver-/151060516602 I asked her about the fact that the listings have some of the same photos and she said had two and that she opened one of them to take photos.

Thanks in advance!

please help with this one, is it original piece?

This seller has 2 of these. Everything about them seems sloppy - the cutting and stitching of the suede, the creed patch stitching, etc.

Item: (Dark Brown) -and- (Blue) Suede COACH *USA* SMALL Wristlet Pouch Bag Purse w/ brass hang tag
Listing number: 251287626643
Listing number: 251287630653
Seller: purseladyleslie
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Blue-Suede-...643?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item3a81e8e393
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dark-Brown-...653?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item3a81e8f33d

Comments: Both J4D-7128. Neither creed says anything about suede. I'm not familiar with this style number. Are these authentic?

Thanks very much!

JUST REALIZED: they both have "newer" creed wording - guess I answered my own question.

Yuck! Both are fake!

ETA: As further confirmation that the two listings from seller purseladyleslie are fake is Hyacinth's post here. The item wasn't introduced until 2003, yet the fakes have a 1994 date.

There is a style 7128 and these fakes are sort of copying it, but this is what the correct style looks like:

Thanks, BeenBurned - and for the photo of the "real" one, too! Do you know when the 7128 was introduced? I guess I just haven't encountered that style before. ETA: Got it! Thank you!

Anyway, thanks again!

They look fine. For NWT items, many sellers recycle and/or use the same pictures if they have more than one of the item. As long as her explanation makes sense, I don't have a problem with it.
