CAN YOU HELP AUTHENTICATE THIS COACH BAG?
I bought this Madison Phoebe at an estate sale at a mansion full of designer clothing.
I felt sure it was real. Creed number is A1393- 24621. The quality is superb inside and out. But when I began researching I started to have doubts.
Firstly, it has no YKK zipper as far as I can see, and so many people say it must have that to be authentic?
Secondly, you can see the metal COACH embellishment on the side of the bag stands alone (last photo).No little coach and horses above, no "New York" below. I've seen many identical bags with the stand alone name like mine, then others with the three symbols. Which are real?
Lastly, I've seen some identical bags with "COACH" etched into the metal pieces that connect the straps to the bag. Mine are just unetched silver (second last photo). Any help you can provide would be SO much appreciated!

·3 years agoAuthentic Madison Phoebe Made in 2013 in China. The absence of Horse and Carriage under the Coach is normal, the 'Coach' etching missing on the strap clasps is odd I don't have an answer for that. These were made in China so Canada probably has nothing to o with the anomalies, but it might, and the 'YKK' zippers on all real coach bags is a total myth. Many counterfeit bags have 'Ykk' Zippers.

·3 years agoThat's not the style number. The style number is the same (24621) The numbers and letters you are referring to is the Style number prefix which tells the Month (H Which stands for August) '13' Which stands for the year made, 2013, And the Plant (76 which is a China Plant) So the mystery still exists.
