Hi!

I saw lovely Coach crossbody bag another day at the mall and ever since I've been trying to find the name of the bag with no success. The shape of the bag reminded Tanner but it wasn't as deep as Tanner and it didn't have the handles. It was very similar to this one behind the link: http://www.coachoutletmax.com/coach-city-saffiano-logo-small-gold-crossbody-bags-elf-p-219.html

Can anyone help me? Thank you. :)

The bags at that site are fake. There are several crossbody bags it could be, including some made for factory. Could it have been a Ranger?

Hi ladies,
I recently purchased this at the thrift store, and cleaned it up quite a bit(still have a little more cleaning to do). I am going to to list it but can't determine what style it is. It is the heavy leather I remember from my teens, so I know it is vintage. Any help is appreciated.:smile1:

It is probably not authentic. The turnlock doesn't look like Coach hardware and I can't think of a vintage Coach style that has a Coach imprint like that above the turnlock. If you take a picture of the creed inside the bag, I can confirm.

I agree with Whateve, it's definitely fake. That imprint was never used on any Coach that looked like that. The front also shows the overstretched "elephant-skin" texture that usually means fake. If the strap only has 3 buckle holes on each end, that's a big red flag too. Don't waste any more time or effort cleaning it. It can't be listed, sold or traded anywhere in the US and should NOT be donated either. Get your money back. A creed and serial number photo will be even more proof.

If the wallet was sold with the bag that could be counterfeit too, we'd need close-up pics of the inside details like the credit card pockets and the plastic ID window. I'm not comfortable with how the zipper looks either, and would really like to see a clearer picture.

Any idea if this has a name or style number? It looks like a slim satchel on the outside, possibly, but the seller didn't provide any measurements. The inside looks like a standard tote.

This one looks like a slim satchel compact with different handles. Do you have any records of these handles being used for this style?

Can't help with the first one, sorry. I don't have any details of those styles except a few catalog pictures, and no pics of the insides.

The second one looks like a Club Satchel, #9885 from 1989-90, it's the one at the far left.

TOTALLY fake.

Wow, where do I start?

Wallets almost NEVER have stamped creeds or serial numbers. At the MOST, maybe a dozen wallet styles in the last 40 years have had creeds.

The serial number is in an invalid format with missing production codes AND the number is on both the Daria48 Fakes list at Ebay and my Fakes list here.

Style number 9085 should be recognisable by any vintage Coach buyer and belongs ONLY to the classic Duffle Sac.

The creed stamp in the WALLET says it's a Coach BAG

Coach wallets NEVER use cut-in slits for credit cards, they ALWAYS use individually-sewn pockets.

The creed stamp in the purse is a MESS - too low, half of it is missing - and do the purse and wallet have the same serial numbers? Why would two completely different items have the same number? And why does the leather of the purse's inside pocket look like it has drips and bubbles all over?

The top layer of real leather does NOT come off in chunks like that.

Those are just the problems in the small areas of the bag and wallet in the pictures. I'm sure we could point out a lot more with more photos but there's enough proof in those few pictures to prove both are fake.

Get your money back, both those items are illegal and the thrift broke US federal anti-counterfeiting laws by selling them.

And PLEASE have Coach items authenticated! If you can't do it when you're buying them, then do it as soon as you get home, before you invest any time or any more money in it. Just because the leather "feels like a Coach you had before" doesn't prove a thing.

And READ THE SALEAREA COACH GUIDES AT EBAY AND THE TWO AVAILABLE FAKE COACH SERIAL NUMBERS LISTS. Print out a copy of the Fake Numbers List for when you shop.

Thank you so much!!!!!! You really know your stuff. I'm so sad though :sad: Oh well, lesson learned. I have a suede coach I got for $5.00 but I'm almost certain it's not real either.

I just want to comment on the wallet that has a "Coach bag" creed. It's not necessarily an obvious fake if a wallet has that text.

In its ever confusing inconsistency, there are at least some authentic Coach wallets that have creeds and those creeds describe a Coach "BAG."

Style 41209 and 41211 are two examples:

41211: (Pictures borrowed from ebay)

EDITED TO ADD THE FOLLOWING -- MORE CONFUSION, MORE INCONSISTENCY!!

The picture of the creed (41211) shown above is from a wallet made in 2008 and describes a "BAG." The wallet IS authentic.

I just found this one, also style 41211 from 2007. The creed describes a wallet.

I guess this is just another WTF? from Coach.
