I’m very new to vintage handbag hunting and have been browsing casually on online reselling platforms. I am curious about this bag, I have only ever seen other versions of this exact bag with white stitching. Would any of the authenticators here kindly help identify the exact model of the bag and if it can come with black stitching?

It's authentic so it was definitely done with black stitching also, made in 2005 and is called either a Soho shoulder or Soho hobo.

Hi all,
I recently bought this really cute Coach handbag that I adore. The stiching is consistent and the leather is genuine. I have one concern though, the serial no is 005-3103. While it does have the correct format xxx-xxxx, I read that the serial number should start with a letter. Hopefully you can help me identify if this is a real coach bag and if you have any information of how old it is. Many thanks!

Before 1994, Coach used all numeric random serial numbers. The serial codes that came later started with a letter, and the codes had meaning. Your bag was made after 1988 and before 1994. For an ID, measurements would help. This looks like a briefcase to me. It could be an Embassy brief #5090.

I know it's a Madison wallet, longer than the continental clutch (4474). Does anyone know the style name and number please? TIA!

ETA: Sorry. I just looked again at the Etsy listing and it has the style number, 4472.

Recent thrift find with unusual lining in the zip pouch that I have never seen before. Please help me determine whether this an old small item is authentic. Thanks!

I don't believe it is authentic. More opinions are welcome. In the future, post authentication requests here: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/authenticate-this-coach-see-first-post-for-format.889527/
I agree. The Coach name is in the wrong location and the turnlock hardware is incorrect.
