Does this appear to be genuine Coach?
It doesn't particularly matter if it is real, but will other people think it's real or does it look fake?

Life with Craft - or is it Art?
All my life I have been sewing. It’s now 50 years, more or less, since my mother started teaching me to sew – buttons on shirts, making clothes, embroidery.
Maybe I started on dolls clothes, though I don’t remember them. I do remember making a blouse (with Mum’s help) when I was about 12. We went up the road to a
new shop, where fabric was very cheap. When we got the fabric home, we discovered why – it was water damaged in places. But it was such lovely fabric, we bought a bit more so we could still have enough to make the blouse, cutting pieces in between the water marks.By the time I was 16, I was making a great many of my clothes. It was the Swinging 60’s in London, I wanted all the latest fashions, and I could have more of them if I spent my earnings from my newly-acquired job as a Copy Typist on patterns and fabric. I wore Hot Pants, I wore the latest slinky 40’s-style dresses, I wore every fashion I could sew myself. What I couldn’t make, I bought in the famous London Petticoat Lane market, which was near to my job in the East End of the city. This world-famous market was where I developed my lifelong passion for bags of all sorts. At lunchtime, the office girls – as we were called then – used to head off “down the Lane”. Petticoat Lane, or Middlesex Street now, was in Tudor time known as Hog’s Lane. From 1608 it has been a clothes market and still operates today, it’s rights being protected by Act of Parliament. I found handbags of all sorts, with every variety of pockets and zipped compartments. I especially liked buckled pockets on the outsides, and patchwork leather and suede.
I have been making patchwork and appliqué shopping bags for a number of years, and even a crazy patchwork handbag. My husband quickly steers me away from Bag
Shops! I used to make all my children’s clothes – knitted, sewn, whatever – until they went to school and discovered everybody else had “bought stuff”. Then they wouldn’t wear my creations any more.
On and off, I have continued to make clothes for myself, and recently completed a Crazy Patchwork Vest from velvet, satin and heavy Chinese satin, donated to me
by my cousin. I added velvet ribbon, heavy lace braid and another braid as finishing touches to the seams, and finished the edges with bias binding. I was pleased as punch with the result, and wore it to our family Xmas gathering. Christmas in Australia is hot, being in early summer, and I was glad to take it off once it had been duly admired.
My current big interest is embroidery. I have always previously used stranded cottons, and just this year started using silks after reading – devouring – books
by renowned embroiderer Helen Stevens. What a contrast! The beauty of silk embroidery is breathtaking.
It took me a long time to tackle my own drawing. I have always designed, because I could never be satisfied completely with some else’s pattern, and always adapted it to suit my needs or to add the elements I was looking for. Eventually I thought, here I am, tracing over some else’s drawing of a bird, say, then chopping it in half so I can turn it’s head around, then drawing inside the line to make it smaller, or outside to make it bigger – try it from scratch, Christine, other people can draw so why not me?
OK, I’m not great, but I can get a reasonable likeness if I keep the lines reasonably simple. That’s quite a revelation to a non-artist. And it’s extra useful now that I’m designing patterns for my new website.
The home I share with my husband is decorated with quilts, embroidery, patchwork cushions, mixed media pictures, and on my wardrobe door handle I have hanging a
hank of a multicoloured, multifibre yearn – the texture and the colours are so appealing that I keep handling it and looking at it. It’s been there for months, and I can’t bear to put it away. That’s Life with Craft – or is it Art?
