Hi, I found this picture of this Coach fake online and I want to know if there was a REAL Coach version of a bag like this or if this style was just made...

If there was, what's the name of it?
It's the duffel style, white trim bag in the backgorund

Style 6846 is about the closest I can find with a front pocket. It doesn't have the side pockets.

Style 8K40 has the side pockets but the trim is python.

(There are 2 current listings for 6846, one of which is fake. The pink one looks good.)

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know, if you still have the tags for the bags, each bag should have the name of the bag on the tag. It will say something like: "HMP SIG SAT", which means Hampton Signature Satchel or "CRI OUT SIG LG STCH" (Cricket Outlet Signature Large Satchel). If your not sure what the abbreviations mean, the tag should also have a style number on it, it should start with "F" followed by a number, if you "Google" this style number, it should pull up a search of a website that will have the appropriate name of the bag on it for you. If you do not have the tag, the inside of the bag should have a stamp on the zippered pocket, it will also have the style number on it, you will only search using the last 5 numbers of the style number.

Also, if you can not find it on the Coach website, DOES NOT mean that it is not authentic, it only means that it is not currently sold at a RETAIL store, it could still be at an Outlet/Factory store.

I am currently an employee at a Coach Factory store, so the information that I have is reliable and current. I am new to this forum and really don't get on here much, but I have seen a lot of incorrect information on here and since I am a current employee, I hope that I can help some people out that are misinformed or just don't know much about Coach.

If you could get me the style numbers of the bags you have, I can get the correct and technical names for the bags and for any that you are not sure about authenticity, I can verify that for you also.

I hope that helps you some.

And for anyone else who I can help, just ask, I will be glad to do what I can :)

And to add to what Been Burned said, here's absolutely no guarantee that a serial number that comes up on Google is genuine either. There can be just as many fake bags that come up in a Google search as there are genuine. A fake that's listed for sale on Ebay or iOffer or from a major Chinese fakes distribution site like DHGate or TradeKey can easily show up near the top of any Google search. And Google can be almost completely useless when talking about styles more than 2 or 3 years old.

There's also a very good chance that someone will assume that because the style number of a bag or wallet listed on Google looks ok and the pic matches other pics of the same style, the item being sold must be genuine too. But most of the photos in Google listings are stolen right from Coach's website, so there's no telling what the sites are actually selling. Google has its uses, but I wouldn't depend on them when it comes to authenticity questions.

Also, if you notice us making any more mistakes, I hope you'll bring them to our attention.

Hi! I am new to this site and am so thankful I found it! I recently found this Coach purse and was wondering if it is authentic, and if it is, does anyone know the name of it or when it was made!? The lining is striped, and all the leather matches, i.e the tag, creed and purse. I sure appreciate the help!

It's a "Sonoma Drawstring" made of pebbled leather and yours was made in 1997. It looks good to me.

The Sonoma bags came in many, many colors and I'm not sure what the color name of yours is. Maybe someone else recognizes it.

Here is a link to a very helpful guide about the Sonoma bags.
