Coach bag creed patch

YKK and Ideal zippers will have the marking on the side of the zipper, the part that holds the pull. Just look all over on the zipper. And remember that bags with YKK zippers and Ideal, I think usually only have labeled zippers on the inside or smaller pockets. The main one is usually unbranded. I recently bought coach bags that my friend selling and she told me that she ordered those bags thru online. She shipped that to me from US to philippines. My question is, is there a possibility that this coach bag came from US but made in philippines are authentic?

Yes, Coach has started using plastic transparent tags sometimes and they do make bags in the Philippines that are then imported to the US so it is possible that it is authentic.

I once read that C is a fake creed number…C would stand for March, I think.. Everything else on the purse looks authenthic…It has Coach Est on the black lining?

Is this right?? The lining sounds correct. The bag in your link looks good for the most part, but I can see why the sides would catch your eye.

They look sloppy. It could be authentic. I am looking at a used bag for outtings. This seller has 2 of the same with the same creed which seems the newer ones can have.

There is NO bullseye type stamp on the creed and the number is this…. NoE on both bags. However, that serial number is valid for a Multifunction Tote, which was a large combo tote and diaper bag and came with a changing pad. I should also say that you can no longer call Coach to look up a Serial Number.. Which is too bad. Allow bags to be mailed into them and authenticated for a fee.

If a bag was legit, they could return it to the customer with a CoA and be a bit richer. If the bag was counterfeit, they would be able to destroy it themselves, taking the fake bag out of the second-hand market…and still be a bit richer.

Maybe someday, eh? Coach did offer a for-pay authentication service, but dropped it a few years ago. I do Coach authentications at thePurseForum and the Ebay forums, and the details you have to know about each style are pretty overwhelming. To do it right you need detailed photos of EACH style, plus dependable information on when and where each style would have been made — sometimes a fake can look accurate in all the basic details but the crooks got the wrong dates in the serial number codes.

Most highly-faked designer brands like Coach, LV, Chanel, etc are complicated enough to require someone who specializes in that brand. No one can become an expert on all of them. She has well over 50 different handbags.. Any help would be really appreciated. If you have a lot of bags to authenticate you really should join thePurseForum. Selling a fake on Ebay, even without knowing, can cause a lot of problems and lead to listing removal and selling restrictions.

The ones I have seen are fabric. Someone on purseforum. Any comments welcome. I was concerned that the satin lining nowhere had the coach creed with a serial number? Most things about it look legit—the turnlock, the stitching style, etc. One or more of them might own the same bag and know what to look for.

You might add that along with China and the Philippines, recent Coach styles have also been made in India and Vietnam. A handful of styles even have the pattern at a degree angle. The bag Lily asked about on March 26 looks like a genuine Compact Pouch to me too. Thank you for your comments, Hyacinth.

Thanks again. I Just purchased this bag, and i have 2 othet bags puchased from the Coach store. The real link is above, with a picture of the bottom of the purse.

It looks legit to me. Hi, I just bought a coach bag from an online seller and i wonder if its authentic or not.

Hello, Some Coach bags are now made in the Philippines, so if that was your only concern the bag should be fine. I am interested in purchasing several bags from one of my local Facebook yard sale sites and these sites seem to be overrun with folks selling fake coach bags! Most of these I have been able to spot as fake right away thanks to your posts!!! Second question- on the leather creed- I have seen several bags where the creed is centered not the new gold writing creeds and there is a lot more empty space on both sides of the leather patch.

Almost all others I have seen fill up the entire space on the patch. The wording matches and spelling but the spacing is different. Thanks in advance for any assistance! Could it be that one of the numbers is actually a letter? They might change their codes to consist completely of numbers for some factories. As for the centered creeds with a lot of empty space, that sounds weird for an embossed creed.

Sometimes they center the last line, but mostly the text is justified. I would feel more confident actually seeing photos. I just bought a coach bag from the coach outlet website cut when I got it it had to little plastic tags in side one it the purse saying mad in china the WRISTlet says made in the pillipinness.

Is it really they came with the thing saying they came from one coach way site. But why r there little pastic tags in the bag? What do they look like? Are they small and sewn into the seam? Clear plastic, white plastic? The seller refuses to refund for a return. Based on the photos, my impression is that the bag is authentic. The issues you mentioned sound consistent with many vintage Coach bags.

Vintage hangtags, for example, were often made of two pieces of leather back-to-back, suede sides glued together and smooth sides both stamped with the Coach logo to make a double sided tag. Vintage Coach bags are really varied in materials. Hello Christine, I just stumbled upon your Tacoma Goodwill store, blog spot, and got about half way through the first paragraph on tips for authenticating Coach bags, and recognized your words o f wisdom.

I had been a member of purseforum. I thought you had a wealth of information to share and your posts helped me in learning more about how to authenticate Designer, and Designer vintage items, in general. I know enough about Coach, Gucci, Swarovsky, and a few other names, to be a tad dangerous. Thank you for your kind words, though!

Does it sound real? Hi Sandi, In reading your description, nothing jumped out at me as cause for concern. Was there something about the bag that made you think it might not be authentic? There may be others as well. Hello, I am a bit perplexed regarding the hardware of a Coach Bag I bought that had all the traits of being authentic except for one thing. The zippers are marked YKK everywhere, including inside and all the hardware appears to be brass but the zipper track itself is plastic.

One of the pictures of an authentic bag in the above article appears to have the metal hardware and a plastic zipper track. Would I be able to send you a picture for you to see? Hello Michele, Yes, some authentic bags have plastic zipper tracks instead of metal. I recently purchased a coach or what I thought was a coach bag on ebay I bought it from an awesome ebay giving works seller, but not sure I got the real thing. I purchased the signature tote, but the gold lettering on the creed is worn off, but still engraved in and some of the gold tone hardware is rubbed silver—do you know if coach uses solid brass only?

Recently i bought a coach madison floral small wristlet and found out that the rose printed on the fabric has slightly different compare to some i saw online. As i saw through other websites, some roses were up and down or right and left or maybe there is only one big rose in the middle.

Can this be considered fake? As far as I can tell, the pattern is pretty consistent for that wristlet. If you have that exact style but the pattern is off, it may be a counterfeit. I found that same logo stamped descreatly into the side portion of my bag as well upon careful inspection that I had no idea even existed on the bags something to look into though!

Hi, I am wondering if coach ever uses bonded leather? I purchased a coach brown leather madison maggie bag — everything seems like excellent quality,seams, lining, hardware, creed, straps are obviously quality leather — but when I pull up the edge of the inside seam — so I can see the bottom of the leather — it seems to be white fibers — not obviously plastic, but almost like bonded leather.

Did you mean:. I was unaware of a Creed patch w Coach bag a fake? I was unaware of a Creed patch with NO serial number from a newer bag?

Message 1 of 3. All forum topics Previous Topic Next Topic. Is this about the pink suede crossbody or the pink wristlet? Bonnie was our creative director during the s and into the early s. We also released unlined bonnie designed coach bags. The Metal Tag. The "Coach" Branded Hangtag. The "Coach" Cartouche Stamp. The Story Patch. Serial Numbers. The official Registration Number systems began.

Each bag was assigned a specific number, and could be registered to the owner. The serial was stamped on a lozenge that was then glued-in under the story patch. Mid 's - The bags were still made in the original NYC Factory with individual serial numbers. York City, U. Made in the United States Stamps. The Cartouche on some of these early bags shows that they were still being made in the original NYC Factory…or at least, the serials were still being stamped with the original NYC Creed press.
