Hi everyone! I was hoping to get an ID / authentication on a Coach bag I recently picked up. I have not seen one similar to this, so I'm unsure if it's a fake or authentic. The stitching, Coach leather badge, and leather seems right, but I'm no expert. Any help is greatly appreciated!
I'm sorry but that bag is fake.

It's trying to copy style 10454.

The style number on your bag, 8F34 belongs to a bag that looks like this:

In the future, note that this thread is for items you know are authentic and just want to know the name of the style.

Please post questions about authenticity here;

Hi everyone, I would appreciate any info on this bag I just got. I believe is authentic so I have not posted on the Authenticate... thread.
Pre creed with metal tab, any official name for it, style number, age (I think from the late 60s, early 70s?) , did it originally have a hang tag....? Any input would be appreciated because I tried to find info already with no luck, just a picture on Pinterest of a black one. TIA

(measures about 9.5 x 8 x 4 inches).

No guesses?

Am I correct on the time frame? And I am guessing this style had no hang tag?

Again TIA if you have any info.

Hopefully one of the Cashin experts will chime in. Based on my limited knowledge, I'd guess it's from the 1960s or very early 70s, when the metal tags were used. It may have had either a baseball hang tag, a cartouche hang tag, or none. There's very little surviving information about names and style numbers from that period.

There are a few listed on eBay right now, if you want to compare.

Thank you Catbird9, I guess I had the time frame right, and the hang tag, well no way to know for sure, same as the style name/number.
Thanks as well for the link to Ebay, I didn't search for Cashin, I should have done that.

Hello All! I picked up this used View attachment 4501800 View attachment 4501802 Coach "Avery" brown croco # F26122 but later noticed there was no indication of country of manufacture anywhere. Is it authentic?
There should be a made in label sewn in the bag to the lining, probably in a side seam.

The bag is authentic but for future requests re authenticity, post here and see post #1 for the info we need.
Authenticate This COACH - **see first post for format**

ETA: Oops, I see that you found that thread!

There should be a small fabric tag somewhere inside the bag showing where it was made. It will probably be along one of the seams of the lining. Coach hasn't put the country of manufacture on the creed for a long time, probably since right around the time your bag was made, 2013.

Yours is genuine
 
There is a Coach crossbody that looks almost exactly like the LV Favorite MM, but instead it has a turn lock front clasp, whereas the Favorite MM has the built in magnetic closure. The COACH version has the same side pleating, and gold shoulder chain with additional removable leather strap....same as the LV Favorite MM. Does anyone know the name of that coach bag?

I'm not an LV expert but as I understand, MM refers to the size. I believe that many LV bags come in MM.

Please post a picture of the LV style that you like. It's helpful to those of us who don't know the brand well.

Update: I actually finally just found the pic thread of this purse, and it's called the Coach Signature Mini Ruby Crossbody (see 1st & 2nd pics). Apparently it was made in 2015, and is now discontinued. And yes, you're correct... in LV sizing PM is small, MM is medium, and GM is large. This coach bag mimics to a 'T' the ever elusive LV Favorite MM (see 3rd & 4th pics), but IMO it is a step up because it has the turnlock flap clasp instead. That little difference solves the problem people had with the sometimes weak magnetic flap closure of the LV Favorite MM.

Ha! I had no idea it was that close to an LV favorite MM! I'm not very familiar with LV products. I have a mini Ruby in ocelot print. Love that thing!

I stumbled on a Coach bag at my local Nordstrom Rack. Doesn't look to have been made for the Outlet store, little Made In tag says Philippines.

Can anyone ID this style? (main compartment shuts with a magnet. One large zip on the inside. Three sewn in pockets on opposite side of inside. Document area (also magnet closure) on front.
Four metal feet on bottom. Just the two shoulder straps. Sides of bag snap closed (or open) to adjust size.) I usually like soft squishy leather but for a briefcase that doesn't work well and this fits my laptop, so SCORE.
