Hi there I just discovered your channel because I was trying to sell a bag that I bought as a flight attendant in the 90s. I’m trying to find the style and the value. C6C-8968( or 3?)I can’t read the last number. Any suggestions?

So this is a great video!! I found what I think is a vintage bag, the numbers are no PIT-9061, watching this video you spoke how there can be bags that start with “P” do think this might be a “pilot” bag? The style matches and it definitely looks real, thanks for your time

@EssexFashionHouse

Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much, I'm so glad it was helpful 🤗 I believe in order for it to be a pilot bag, the P would have to be at the end of the style number so it doesn't look like that is what you have. I'm not quite sure about the numbers/letters on yours as of course the month indicators end at M = December and if the bag is from before 1994 when they started doing the date codes, it should be all numbers so I'm not quite sure what you have there. Good luck with your research!

Great info! I just bought a vintage saddle bag which code says D7M and made in the USA. Got a bit curious so here I am. Do you happen to know anything about the white creed on their 65th anniversary Legacy editions? Someone said the white creed patches were on the British Tan while the brown ones are for the Whiskey colour. Is this true? Thank you!

@EssexFashionHouse

So glad it was helpful! I'm not familiar with that particular style or the details of the creed patch on them so I can't help you with that one I'm afraid. But you do often see the creed patch be different colors to match the bag in one way or another on the older styles, so it very well may be that one color bag had one color creed patch and another color bag had another color creed patch. Thank you for watching 🤗

I have a briefcase Cree patch with the N and o a little further apart than most authentic ones. It appears to be a knock off or faux bag. Am I wrong?

When buying an older bag. In your opinion is it worth buying a factory bag? In the past Coach Outlet was the same as in the store and marked with a bullet. Now they make bags specially for the outlet and different leather. (I didn’t realize this change until I had purchased 4 of them. I realized the quality wasn’t the same as the bag I used mostly for the weekend strap started coming apart.

The Willis is such a lovely model 🥰 I haven't made any videos regarding vintage Coach as I just don't deal with those items much, but maybe in the future I'll get more into them.

I thought most of the mark has 1941 in the cross but one of my bags mark says 17SS in the cross mark. And I am wondering that if this is real and stands for Spring and summer 2017?

Please note that some genuine Rogues don't have that stamp at all depending on when they were produced. Thank you for watching! 🥰

Hi. Some friend of ours gave us two Coach bags. I looked at the creed patch of one of them and it has a serial number that starts with a J with four numbers, and after the dash it starts with an F with five numbers. I looked up at your blog about the serial numbers and my bag's first number before the dash has 1668 on it, and the other has 49862. Does that mean that the bag is genuine?

@EssexFashionHouse

Жыл бұрын

Hi, you can't authenticate a bag just from the number inside. You will have to look at many other factors as lots of fake bags have numbers inside that a real one would have. One thing you can do to start your authentication process is to google "Coach" followed by the style number in your bag - so that would be "Coach F49862" in this case, and see if the model that shows up in the search results match your bag.

Hi there: I have a major question. I have a Marvel Spiderman backpack (2901-svr32) that I know is authentic (tag is right, leather is right, quality is right and it looks the same as the other Marvel Spiderman purse I bought - I bought 2 from the Coach outlet store on line at the same time). I did not notice this until it was too late to return, but one of the purses does not have the Spiderman on the front of the purse. Is this a rare error that Coach made? Does this make it worth more money? Can I return it over a year since it was made wrong? Please help, it was a very expensive purse and I don't know what to do with it. Thank you so much.

So glad the video was helpful! If you bought the bag at an official Coach store (whether retail or outlet), the bag should definitely be authentic. Lots of genuine Coach bags are made in the Philippines so nothing to worry about there. If there is an F in front of the style number, it means made for the outlet store but I don't think they use that format anymore. The C is not an indicator of an outlet bag, it is just a new format they've made. No one knows exactly what the C stands for (not even Coach employees lol). I don't know about the little leather strip with glue on the back, I've never seen that with a Coach bag before. Does it match the material of the bag? And where did you find it?

Before 1994, Coach bags had actual serial numbers which means each individual bag had its own unique series of numbers and therefore the numbers do not tell you anything about the bag like the post-1994 style numbers and time codes.

If it's coming from coach or coach outlet it's authentic. I don't see the point of buying from a reseller because they charge more than coach does. I don't like other peoples hands all over my bags I avoid resellers.
