Thread: Coach Handbag: Please help authenticate purse! (Part 2)

Bag looks good to me too demimami!

Sometimes people stretch the truth a little bit. There have been times when I saw something listed as new with tags and it had obviously been used. I did a completed listing search for "Coach 10125". For pre-owned condition, the ones that actually sold were sold for $75. So hopefully that helps.

Sorry, I have been out of town so I haven't been able to look at these.

I believe this purse may be vintage due to the fact that the coach logo is engraved instead of sewed into the purse. Also there is no other mention of the brand other than the engraving. This is what it says: "THIS IS A COACH BAG. IT WAS HANDCRAFTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF COMPLETELY NATURAL GLOVE-TANNED COWHIDE. THE VARIATIONS IN THE GRAIN ARE CHARACTERISTIC OF NATURAL FULL GRAIN LEATHER". Underneath it is followed by the serial number 'k3h 9058'. There is no dash in between the numbers. Can anyone please help autheticate. I would also want to know how old it may be? Thanks! :)

This is supposed to be a Legacy Hobo. Without pictures we can't tell you much. Going off of the creed and serial number format, this bag was probably from the 1990s. I'm not sure when they stopped making this style.

I'm not familiar with this style. I don't see anything that looks concerning though.

Can someone please let me know if this is a real coach bag or not. I was going to try to sell it but then I was told it was a fake. I dont want to rip anyone off so could someone please help me?
The zipper zips from left to right when its facing you, i accidentally left it unzipped in the picture

This doesn't look authentic.

Am new to the Coach world. Got this while I was on vacation. It is previously owned. I posted these pictures on another online forum, and got a single knowledgeable opinion. I took it to the Coach outlet and got another, likely less knowledgeable opinion. (And because of all the uncertainty, and because they were having a HUGE sale, I walked out with two authentic bags and the one that appears below...which is of questionable authenticity.) I am looking for any other opinions.

Also, does anyone know specifically, what year Coach changed from serial numbers to registration numbers?

Thanks for whatever help anyone can provide.

I'm not terribly good with vintage, but this looks very Coach to me. The creed and serial number indicate it is from the late 1970s. They didn't make the serial number transition until the early 1990s.

Monstre Charmant, the bag looks real to me. it is definitely a vintage design.

Simply devine, i would wait to hear from one of the mods. I am not familiar with that particular bag.

Simply divine - This is a factory bag, it looks fine to me.
