I thrifted these bags recently.
I think the first one is 1993 (?) black city bag? and second one is 1996 Lula mahogany drawstring bag?
I'm looking into dressing them in charms and looking for inspo. If you have these bags dressed in charms, please show and tell.
Please let me know if they are not real. Thank you
I bought these bags hoping to find at least one 1982 or 1983 bag for a gift.
Are these all authentic?
One is of concern since there's peeling (?) on zipper handle of bag #2 (the one with short hard handles). Anyone know how to fix that?
Do you know what color are these bags?
Thank you for your time!
PS: Please let me know if you need more pics. I can only upload 20 max.
I was so excited to add to my collection. The size would have been perfect for classes/ travel.
I'm 99% sure this is fake. But since I'm a newbie on vintage coach. I'm going to ask for confirmation. I got this online recently (bought from same seller before). So I didn't think much of it until I opened the envelope. The leather felt stiffer than my other vintage coach bags. The hang tag coach writing is crooked, and hardware looks and color are off.
I'm not that familiar with the creed font from this plant. Is there a telltale sign?
Please let me know what you think. Thank you.
I bought this recently but I'm having second thoughts. It hasn't been shipped yet so the pictures are limited to these. I think this may be fake. I have never seen a creed like this before from reading this forum and looking at my small collection of vintage coach bags. But I'm not 100% sure. Please let me know if this is fake. Thank you.
I think this bag is Authentic pre-1994? sadly it didn't come with hang tag. If it is authentic, Is there a way to know what year?
Thank you
Got these bags recently since I have caught the vintage coach bag bug.
First bag is station bag. I'm not sure what color this is. Is it British tan? I think this one is authentic. But want to get second opinion.
Second one has really nice thick leather. I'm not sure of the name. It didn't come with hang tag sadly. Is it supposed to come with one sided hang tag?
Bought these from a thrift store in my area for about $330 total. Hope they are authentic. Thank you
The black city bag has M factory code. After I got home, I researched more. Sometimes I see the M code as United states made (but not written at the bottom like mine - instead included in the paragraph). And other times, I have seen it as made in Costa Rica. So I'm confused. Is this authentic? Please let me know if you need more pictures.
The other bag I think it's authentic. But I can't be sure 100%. wanting second opinion. It has very thick nice leather.
In case you are interested, I bought these bags from local thrift store for $150 each (probably paid too much for the condition). It was a total impulse buy because I have been seeing people's nice collection of coach bags on this sub. The thrift supports a good cause so I figured it's okay. One day, I hope to find an actual thrift priced coach bag (like some people's lucky find). But I know that's rare these days.
Thank you for helping.
Thank you for your help.
My sister bought me this bag recently but I'm not sure if it's authentic. I think it's a Willis bag but I'm not sure. She paid $110 for it. I'm hoping it's authentic. Please help.
I started getting PD around my mouth and nose area during COVID. I suspect it was due to wearing N95 mask all day + being sweaty. Another family member working at hospital (wearing N95 all day too) also got PD around the same time.
My PD looked dry+red+postules+itchy. New postules pop up everyday. It's very painful. After 5 years, these things help clear my skin:
2 months of oral doxy (prescription) and 3 months (day and night) of metrocream (prescription). 1 month of doxy doesn't help. I needed that 2 months of doxy.
For painful flare up, I use mineral sunscreen (zinc) at night on the postules. By morning, they are usually less red/ painful.
Then to maintain:
Morning routine: Wash with Cerave hydrating cleanser, Vanicream (the one in tub), metrocream (prescription), La Roche Posay mineral sunscreen, lansinoh nipple cream for lip (it's just 100% natural linolin)
Nightime routing: wash with cerave hydrating cleanser (I sweat a lot so I need to wash my face again), Vanicream, metrocream, Tretinoin (prescription- applied every other day), lansinoh nipple cream for lip (it's just 100% natural linolin)
Also: Avoid SLS toothpaste (I use sensodyne - still has flouride but no SLS), no make up, no eating things that will have juice run down chin (like biting into Apple/ corn, etc). Avoid hot water on face (warm water okay). Avoid rubbing face/ nose with tissue. For some reason I noticed that friction create new postules.
PS: first 3 weeks of using Metrocream is painful. Everything flakes and dry. But keep at it and use moisturizer first before metro cream and use A LOT of it. After 3 weeks, my skin was clear
Hope this helps someone else. I learn a lot from this sub.
Question: Anyone with PD uses Aestura (korean brand moisturizer)? I used it and liked it but my derm told me to use Vanicream for now (works well so far for me). So wanted to see if anyone with PD use Aestura and have good results.
Anyone has same issue with Mask wearing and PD? or that Friction cause PD to flare up?
Edit to add: I use lansinoh nipple cream for lip (it's just 100% natural linolin) for lip moisturizer cause my lip got so dry from the metrocream. (credit to Carrie Coon from gilded age)
