Hi, I am totally new here, I bought a vintage coach messenger bag from a local yardsale site this morning(!) and it was so soft and comfy and amazing I decided to look up "vintage coach" and wow, I might be hooked! The messenger bag is too big for me as a purse, so I'd like to get a smaller bag. I found this ebay listing, seemed prudent to have someone here take a look since you all seem to know whats up!

Item: Authentic Coach 9951 Patricia Legacy Brown Leather Crossbody messenger Bag
Seller: 1busymomof4
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/371664412976?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

I suppose I should ask you to authenticate my yardsale find as well, but that will have to wait until I snap some pictures. Many thanks!

Don't buy it! It's fake.

Seller also has this fake: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Coa...370731?hash=item5688ec3c2b:g:hZQAAOSw3YNXbDPH

There's no photo of the creed stamp and serial number, and we almost always need that to authenticate. IF the seller's description is right and the stamped serial number is really M9P-9061, it's probably genuine since bags with that plant code don't seem to have been faked. But without a photo of those details there's no way we can be completely sure. When you receive the bag, you can post a photo of the creed stamp and serial number and we can take another look.

Loved this vintage bag I bought at an estate sale, but only noticed it was a Coach after buying it. Is it real? Thank you, in advance, for your time!

Thanks so much whateve and BeenBurned for taking the time to look for me, much appreciated! Anything really obvious that I should be on the look out for that screams "fake"? As I said I am totally new to this, and this page is an amazing resource!

Would you be able to have a look at this listing from posttoastie to authenticate:

"Ball and Socket"???

Sorry, I don't think I've ever heard a Kisslock referred to as a Ball & Socket before. But it IS a genuine Retro Lindy Bag, style 9003 from 1991, no matter how they describe it.

Thanks! Ball and socket was a funny way to describe the kiss lock!
