I have this white vachetta 65th anniversary shoulder bag. Is that truly what it was called? Is it 65th anniversary or after? (Usually I check the wayback machine. Most of the time pictures don't load. No energy to deal with it tonight : P) thank you!!!

Yes, it was just called the Legacy shoulder bag. It was part of the 65th anniversary collection. You can tell because it has the striped lining and was made in 2006. There were some Legacy items made in 2007 as well, but technically the anniversary was over by then. The color was called white.

Thank you, Whateve!! I knew about the lining, but also recall some bags after the anniversary had the same lining ('07 as you pointed out). I thought they would have a more creative name for white, like oyster shell, or something. I'll be seeing you over on the rehab thread. It needs a bit of cleaning. The white dye seems to give the vachetta a different texture than the whiskey.

Hi,
I purchased this purse (used) for myself because I have never owned a Coach purse before. Although, I have never researched identifying fakes vs. authentic Coach bags, this one looked genuine to me.

But, I have actually decided to sell it because it really isn't "me." I prefer my unmarked genuine 70's "Woodstock" leather purse. This purse was just too boring. With that said, I had it listed on eBay, but then started to question its authenticity, mainly because my biggest fear is selling a fake purse. I'd never intentionally carry one, and I sure as heck wouldn't sell one.

Moving on, I have posted some photos of the purse. Do you mind helping me determine its authenticity? I've researched it and it seems to be authentic. It has the bullseye in the top right corner of the creed. It was made in Jan. 08, etc...etc...

But, I need an expert's eyes.

**The only two things that makes me question its authenticity are that the buckle is worn and the corners of one inner part of the strap (closest to the ring) are worn/frayed.

Oh, and what is the official style name. I see so many different names for the same number on eBay. I want to be exact in my listing.


Thank you!

Amanda

Welcome to TPF.

It's an authentic soho signature flap bag and as you noted, it's from 2008. It was made for the full priced stores but ended up in an outlet.

For future authenticity requests, please post in this thread following the format in post #1:

Hi again,
I just noticed your comment about posting authentication requests in another thread. I actually was directed to a few last night from the the page containing the symbol references and each one stated: Discussion Closed. Each closed thread was link to another closed thread. So, I just posted where I had seen others inquire about their coach purse. Thank you for the link. I will use it if I ever have a question again. Hopefully, I won't need to. I do appreciate all this information though. If I ever decide to purchase another Coach purse, I am now well informed because of you guys! Thank you! I already feel like an expert, since you confirmed what I had learned prior to asking about the purse!
Thanks again!
Amanda

Also, does anyone know why stores such as Salvation Army and Goodwill are allowed to sell fake purses--even when they know they are fakes? I would think that would be against the law as well. A SA employee told me they are allowed to sell fakes, just like they are allowed to sell mattresses. I guess the mattress issue, I understand (even though, I'd never buy a used mattress--gross), but to knowingly sell fake purses seems bad.


I did not buy this purse from either of those places. I just recently saw a fake LV being sold for $25 and asked the SA employee why they were allowed to sell it knowing it was a fake. I asked a GW manager the same question a couple of years ago, and they just said they didn't have to follow the rules like the general public or other retailers do. Doesn't make sense.

Whoever told you that was misinformed. They're supposed to obey the laws just like other retailers or the general public.

Enforcement is, for the most part, extremely lax.

The shopgoodwill website does have a policy against selling counterfeits. Some of the Goodwills on there abide by it and will remove fakes if reported, some apparently do not.

I've been told this at thrift stores too, particularly the nonprofits. They think because they are nonprofit, they don't have to obey the law concerning counterfeits. They are wrong. If you look at shopgoodwill.com, they have a policy prohibiting fakes; the individual store employees either don't know this or choose to ignore it, or maybe they think they can get away with it more in store than online.

I've never seen a thrift store that is allowed to sell mattresses. I think it depends on the state.
