AUTHENTICATE this COACH!

[Tetondeb]

denial is right! Why does she think it is okay to take photos off google and put her own watermark on them? If you have a professional studio, it wouldn't be difficult to get a good picture, so i don't believe that for a second. What about the fact that she is showing a picture of a bag that is the same style, but isn't the same bag as the one she has for sale?

exactly! !

Hi Ladies,

Can any of you tell me the name of this little cutie? It's very old and was in one person's possession for 22 years.....I'm re-habbing it but would love to know the name.
TIA

Sorry, forgot the measurements......8 3/4" long, 5" high, and 2" wide. The strap is attached and has a 20 1/2" drop.

It looks like a Zippered Pouch, style 9655, from the early or middle 1980s.

I really need to stop browsing eBay. It's becoming dangerous.

I just skimmed the article. Doesn't it say that Coach originally won the lawsuit but the judgement was reversed with the exception of copying the hangtags? So Laura was allowed to copy Coach styles, just not the hangtags.

Interesting...a few months ago I rehabbed a Pat's Legacy for a friend. Found a red "Laura" convertible clutch-style bag at GW Bargain Barn for $1...bought it for the strap to use with a mini MCM bag. I gave the hangtag to my friend for her bag, as hers was lost years ago...her name is Laura...LOL...and-re-donated the remaining clutch!

Hello,
I am a newbie here and hope i am doing it correctly.
I got a bad at a garage sale that I wanted to authenticate. So, I am so happy that I found this forum. I do not have information about the bag. So, i am attaching a picture of the creed. Thank you in advance!

Just about everything that could be wrong is wrong with it!

sellesclev also has this fake with a J8Y prefix:

I'm interested in other opinions on this bag. There appears to be a border at the base of the serial number and I don't believe this Ergo bag is style 4928.

Could someone please authenticate this Coach bag?
From GW today...
Approx. 10.25"w x 7.5"h x 4.5"d Strap has been (professionally?) shortened...drop 13" to buckles
I'm guessing 1996 Worth Bag #4143...I have 2 others, one black, one putty.
Thanks in advance, as always

It is fake. Ergos had style numbers in the 9000s. 4928 would be a Sonoma full flap. Coach never made this style in pink. I've never seen a 7 plant code. There is still time to report it.

They have already removed the other two listings.

Welcome to the purse forum!

We can't authenticate with just a picture of the creed. I'm assuming this is the bag: http://forum.purseblog.com/coach/what-to-do-bag-does-still-have-life-879748-2.html#post27356476

I don't see any problems with it.

It looks fine. The color is beautiful. Was the price discounted because the price was shortened? Once I thought I had found an authentic bag that I thought they had overlooked at Savers because it was so cheap; then I realized the strap had been shortened.

Thanks. Just wanted to confirm before reporting.

Can you guys take a look at this one! It is in my possession! I'm afraid it might be fake! I am going to do a big pic of the creed and then small pics of the others because I don't want to take up a ton of room! Please let me know as soon as you can! Thanks

Make your other pictures the same size as this one. I can hardly make out the details.
