Vintage Coach Photos & Chat

Considering the abundance of fakes, just from the late 90s, I have wondered what it would be like for one to get cycled through the reconditioned promotion!!

It wouldn't surprise me at all if it happens. And I doubt very much if anyone interested in one of those bags and asks Coach for a photo of the creed and serial number is going to get one!

If Coach can't or won't send a photo of the creed and serial number to a potential buyer so it can be authenticated, I'd be very hesitant about buying. And I'd still like to see what one of those creeds actually looks like and if Coach makes any changes to them.
 


HHOOOOO


LLEEEEEEE


SHYTE !!!!
Agree. They would lose too much face. Assuming only the good leather fakes would make it through, even they might not realize it wasn't a real one.


I have a "good leather" fake Willis that feels and looks exactly like 1990s genuine Coach full-grain leather. Even the pores in the leather under 10x magnification are correct. Someone judging it only by the leather quality would very easily mistake it for genuine. I wouldn't trust ANYONE at Coach to spot what outed it as a fake. I only realized it was a fake serial number when another one with exactly the same 7-digit all-number serial 0974-534 showed up on Ebay and I decided to check my bag because part of the number was the same as an old phone number I'd had. The only red flag besides 2 bags with identical numbers was an inside pocket zipper that didn't extend all the way to the edging on the pocket.
 
LOL, I was just going through all my normal searches before bed & BAM. There it was! I don’t know why I want one, I don’t like floppy handles & yet here I am... :lol:
It’s meant to be :lol:

Side note, I actually saw one in the wild the other night! I was at a grocery store and a woman had one in red. If she didn't look like she was rushed, I would have attempted a little chat. I usually see women carrying a Station Bag when I am out shopping.
Out in the wild! LOL Interesting.. I have never seen a vintage Coach out in the wild around here. The Station is certainly popular though. Lots of bloggers seem to have it.

Actually it wasn’t meant to be! The seller never got back to me & the next morning I saw that there was actually a partial creed pic in the listing. Im pretty sure it’s a fake! Anyways, so then I bid on what I thought was a black lunchbox but the more I stared at it after winning the auction, I realized it was navy! So now Im hoping its one of those “so dark it looks black” types of navy in person because I really wanted to use my black court’s thick strap on it!

Yea, thats my little lunchbox ramble lol
 
Was there a barrel bag type style ever made in the form of vintage Coach? I’ve only seen a Bonnie Cashin one that’s long and skinny (I think) and the geometric roll bag 9045 kind of mimics one too. Are there anymore? I wonder if I should just give up and think about getting an archive remake, haha
