The Disney ones are always so fun, there are so many different styles 🥰

Adorable, isn't it? You hardly ever see them in this color and pattern anymore.

Se if you're right, here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/poKuqWuhq8tooJY 🤗

Thank you, so glad it was helpful! 🤗

I would say that as long as they are not air tight (leather needs to be able to breathe) and you're keeping them out of direct sunlight, they should be fine in acrylic display boxes. Great way to keep the dust off while still being able to have them on display 😊

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.

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?

Thank you for replying. Yes, it is a perfect match. 🙄

I'm so sorry to hear you had such a bad experience. Usually you can take the bag to a Coach store for a repair, but I'm not sure how much they charge. I've owned two of these exact bags now and I've never had an issue with them, they've been really nice quality, but maybe you got one with some factory defaults. It definitely shouldn't be falling apart. I will say, these specific bags do tend to have a distinct smell due to the type of leather they use.

😊

A classic! 🤗

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 love the flap one as well! It is so different from the other Swaggers, but has so many amazing details.

So glad it was helpful! 😊

I can't say if your specific bag is real or fake without seeing it, but there are in fact some Prada bags made in China. If you bought it directly from the official Prada shop, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

I thought about it too but I think maybe Cadet is a darker blue? I'm not sure though - but it sure is pretty 😊

It sounds like you need some more shelf space 😊 I also made a whole video about the best ways to store your bags: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWWmnHipm6poi6s

The acrylic boxes from Amazon are a great way to store bags on display while protecting them from dust. You can stack them all on top of each other 😊 You can find them here: amzn.to/3ZuZyeT

She is a beauty! It's a shame they are so hard to find, but then you feel even luckier when you find one 🥰

They don't use the letter "i" to signify a month in the date code. I don't know if it could be found in another position but I don't think I've ever seen it and seeing as it could be confused with the number 1, I wouldn't think they would use it.

It seems like they are putting the C on all styles of bags, but good guess! I'm starting to think it was just their way of starting over on a system so they won't be reusing old style numbers. Or maybe just to make it difficult for us! 😆

It is always so hard with these brands and with the information available online. Everyone likes to make up strict rules to make it easy to say real or fake, but at the end of the day, most of these brands have many exceptions to the rules and this is what makes authentication really difficult for some bags and also why some genuine bags get marked as fake because it doesn't match the authentication guides completely.

You can turn on captions if you have a hard time hearing everything 🤗

Happy to help! Thank you for watching 🥰

I think that one is super special 🥰

Thank you so much! I'm glad the video has been helpful. What is your store called? I'll check it out 🤗 Branding is of course important for a business and I think it's a very nice detail to have customized boxes - it strengthens brand recognition and makes your brand look more professional and established. The one thing I will say is be mindful of where you place the branding. Rather than having it on the outside, have it on the inside of the box. The last thing you want is for your package to be stolen because branding on the outside tells every person who sees it that it holds valuable items. For example if people see the Louis Vuitton logo or if your brand/store name includes words like "designer" or "luxury" and is printed on the box, they will most likely assume there are valuable things inside. So make sure the branding is on the inside of the box - the best placement would be under the "lid" like Coach does so that it's the first thing you see when you open the box. We shouldn't have to worry about these things but unfortunately parcel theft is a real problem so you might as well be on the safe side. I will also say, depending on how far along you are in your business, you don't NEED to have customized boxes, it's just a nice touch. I generally use plain boxes as I like to reuse boxes that I receive bags in as long as they're in good condition. It saves on waste and makes my shipping expenses lower. I hope that helps! Thank you for watching 😊

You can't authenticate a Coach bag just from the number, but that format doesn't look quite right.

That's right! I have a video showing them both in more detail if you'd like to have a look: kzbin.info/www/bejne/poKuqWuhq8tooJY&ab_channel=EssexFashionHouse

This one is a work of art 🤗

That is awesome! I'm glad the video was helpful 🤗 Thank you for watching!
