I for one, would like to see the Creed on the green City bag.
I need “to see the receipts” on that one

Wouldn't it be shocking if there was a fake in the archives?I for one, would like to see the Creed on the green bag.

It would be freaking unbelievable. Could Coach ever live something like that down? Boy, that would create an awkward staff meeting for the Archive Dept.
They are confusing! I'm between Saddle and Putty from looking at the swatches in the picture.
I can completely see Coach taking a lighter color bag, in good shape and dying it for this occasion, to round out the overall look of the bags saved.
We are back at the hotel and I’m going to try to figure out how to post the video.
No it wouldn't. In fact I've always assumed that there were more than a few fakes hidden among the gems. Unless Jed is secretly reading all these posts and especially the ones at the Authentication and Authenticity threads, the Salearea Guides and the Daria48 Fakes List that has also been posted here I doubt very much if he has much experience in spotting some of the closer fakes. We've already read one example where he told a member that he thought something was probably genuine when we identified it here as fake.
He probably has a large photo library of older styles but not of the details we use to tell real from fake, and AFAIK he's never posted here asking about a questionable bag or serial number.

I'm sure the PTBs at Coach wouldn't believe that we lowly consumers and fanatics could possibly have more knowledge and experience than their own staff.

I have always wondered if Coach ever asked for your opinion on any bags, and you just put that to rest! I too have wondered if the Archives acquired any fakes unknowingly.
Nope, and I doubt if they've ever contacted BeenBurned or Whateve or NoShoePolish or anyone else here who's a verified authenticator. I douby very much if they even care.
The only fakes they're concerned with are the fakes of new and recent styles that directly take sales away from current Coach products. They don't give a fat rat's patoot if a ship unloads a dozen containers loaded with AAA fakes of vintage leather styles as long as it doesn't affect their bottom line.
I missed your post while I was drafting mine.I'm sure the PTBs at Coach wouldn't believe that we lowly consumers could possibly have more knowledge and experience than their own staff.
But yet, I can’t help but feel, with over 1.8 million views on AT and over 600,000 on this vintage thread alone, somebody’s been doing a little research for or with Jed.
And then yeah, as crazy as it would seem for PTB to ignore this forum completely, they may only be monitoring to see if the the buying of current counterfeit bags is discouraged. I still think it is crazy for them not to have someone occasionally check in on this end of social media. But all the corporates care about is $$$$, on current stock.
Oh and edited to add, Now Hy, there are consumers and then there are consumers
