Title: wonderful COACH VINTAGE small black leather crossbody hobo bag
Seller chesapeakebootery1776
http://www.ebay.com/itm/wonderful-C...974278?hash=item1c71f52046:g:JiUAAOSwCGVX98iy
Item number: 122170974278

Same item on Bonanza:
seller juliesbootery

Comments:
1. Style 9966 is highly and well faked
2. I've never seen an authentic Z-plant US-made bag
3. A quick google search of the prefix brings up several TPF posts discussing the "fake" possibility of that prefix
4. The full serial L6Z-9966 is also on this fake which is not the correct 9966 style:

This is the creed for the bag in question:
s-l1600.jpg

I believe it is fake. The style shown in the listing isn't a 9966 either. It's a copy of a Janice's Legacy #9950. The zipper pull is too short and the rivets are the wrong type.

The proportions of the Coach logo at the top of the creed are wrong too, the Coach name is too big for the cartouche.
 
Hello everybody!, I found -and bought- this denim coach tote on ebay for a good price, but I'm not too sure about it's authenticity:

Could you help authenticate this bag? Also, I don't know the coach name for this bag. I hope you can work with the pictures from ebay, otherwise I can take new ones once I receive the bag. Let me know if you need anything else.

If you haven't paid yet, don't. It isn't authentic. Ask the seller to cancel the sale.
