Hi... I'm new member here. I'm from Indonesia and know nothing about coach.
I bought bags ( 5 bags and all are coach) in a flea market from an old lady who has many many bags,but mostly in very* bad condition. She even didnt know about the brand. One bag is this red bag. Inside the bag, I find a tiny white pocket with note how to take care of the bag.
Please authenticate this bag... If it's real, it's gonna be like find treasure for me.
The number is 038 2102
Thank you....*
* Btw... I'm sorry my english is absolutely fake

Welcome to the forum! The bag looks authentic. Congratulations! It is a court bag probably from the early 90s. In the future, make sure the entire number is shown in the photo of the creed. Telling us the number doesn't help much; we have to actually see it.

We have a rehab forum that can give you suggestions on how to make your bag look the best it can. http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-clubhouse/coach-rehab-and-rescue-club-833400.html
We can probably help you with those bags that are in terrible condition too.

Please confirm my suspicions. (The seller has a history of listing/selling fakes, BTW in January, 2014, September, 2015 and a few days ago, May 24.)

In fact, here's an old post from January, 2014:
http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-sh...-coach-fakes-here-824098-50.html#post25965547

Today's listing in question:
Coach Berkeley duffle 9010
Seller beautifulthings78-us
http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-VINTA...684517?hash=item3d1b93eda5:g:9RYAAOSwoJZXR1kE
Item 262455684517

It appears to have incorrect text for the bag as well as the font appearing to be wrong. (Was this bag still being made in 2002?)

I think it is fake. As far as I know, Berkeleys were only made for a year or so. 2002 is way too late, although if they were to make a few at a late date, it would make sense that they would no longer have the stamp with the correct wording. This particular creed has font problems and doesn't match any creed made in the D plant in the 2000s. The zipper pull looks too short and I bet it isn't sewn all the way around.

Thanks, Whateve. I'll report beautifulthings78-us 's listing. Maybe after the 4th time getting account dings, she'll get the message that she'd better stop listing fakes.

What do you think is wrong with it? I don't see any problems in your photos.
I don't see any problems either.

Just curious----Is there a link to a listing?
