Hello,
I have been trying to find out more information about a purse I purchased. I’m struggling a little because it’s black and the creed tag is also black. Making this very challenging to read to begin with. At any rate, I have gone to a few places to try to read about Coach and they all say that it has to have the signature “C” to be authentic. Clearly, this does not have those. So, according to those websites and articles, this would not be authentic. However, I have seen quite a few Coach purses that do not have the signature “C” on them.
Also, none of those websites and articles helped me figure out anything about this purse. I am hoping someone here will be able to help me, please.
I don't know where you're finding sites that are putting out such bad information! Not only does a Coach NOT have to have Signature Cs, but probably less than one percent of Coach's all-leather styles even have Signature Cs. That's a pattern used on fabrics, not leather, except for a few rare Embossed leather styles. And on top of that, probably half the Signature C "Coach" bags you see on the street are probably fakes. Wherever you found that - excuse the language - BS, don't EVER go back there!
Yours is genuine, made in 2007. I don't have a name for it since it was made for the Factory Outlet stores and those styles didn't have any public websites back then but it looks like something from their Hamptons line. There are more than 2 dozen currently listed on Ebay but none seems to still have the original price tag with the official name.
At least 95 percent of the so-called "information" you find about Coach by searching on the internet is either partly or completely wrong. If you need answers and not bull-poop, come here first.
