Is this legit..
Item: Weston shopper tote
Creed: H7C-9021
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/262724713797

The blurry creed pic worries me. There's one detail that could be due to the poor photo. And there aren't any pictures of the other important details of that style that would help either, like the ends of the dowel or the back of the turnlock plate.

It MIGHT just be due to the angle and the lighting, but it almost looks like the digits in the serial prefix are too close together, and the 7 is actually intruding into the space that belongs to the C. Back then the numbers were still stamped with one of those stamps where the numbers could be changed individually and one digit shouldn't occupy the same little square area as another digit. Maybe the picture below from a bag made in the same plant, month and year will explain things better. The Weston 9021 you're asking about is on the botttom, and a genuine Beekman Brief #5266 is on the top.

Again, it may be OK, but I just can't say so for sure from those photos. I'd want to see a better-lit full-on photo of the creed to be sure it was authentic.

More opinions are welcome.

Item: drawstring bag
In my possession
Creed: C5E-4931
Not sure if this pic is good enough. The font is much smaller in the statement than the other black one I had authenticated previously.

Sonomas seem to have used at least 4 or 5 different creed wordings including the different ones found in Natural Grain and Nubuc leathers. As long as the wording matches the bag's actual construction it's nothing to worry about. Pictures of any inside and outside zipper pulls would be useful with Sonoma styles. I don't see any real problems.

Thanks, whateve! Another lesson I've learned from you.

Hi! Kindly please help. I just bought Coach Swagger F35990 in metallic blue. It looks authentic but one thing that made me wonder, at the bottom of the bag there is no foot. It seems all Coach Swagger has foot after I googled it. Is my bag fake? My seller even gave me the receipt. She said she bought it directly from an outlet in US (I live in south east Asia) Kindly please enlighten me. Many thanks in advance for all the help.

Oops sorry. Striped fabric lining inside and gold zipper.

Hello,
New here ! I am hoping to authenticate this swing pack bag . The listing is on Ebay. Here is the info http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Tan-B...563124?hash=item360e349d34:g:eOAAAOSw44BYR1-2
My daughter is asking for this for Christmas, I just wanna make sure it is real.
Thank you for any help!

I have no idea of this bag's authenticity, but when I checked the seller's ratings on EBay I was horrified. Just THIS PAST month alone, she's got tons of terrible ratings/feedback! Everything from shipping out an empty box to never answering emails! And some buyers never received their purchases at all! I know there are two sides to every story, but no way did all these buyers conspire against this seller within a month's period.

My two cents: I'd stay FAR away!

Just for the record, the "she" is a South San Francisco Goodwill store. I don't know if they're hiring grossly incompetent people, or if there are some employee theft issues, but I would definitely agree that it's better to buy from somewhere else until that store or office gets their problems straightened out. I hope all those buyers have made the problems known to GW's main office in SF as well as their national office.

Some of the Neutrals or Negs are undeserved - for instance, some Newbie idiot left a Neutral for " Michael Kors Gold Leather Lace Up Hi Cut Gold Hardware Sneakers Size 9.5 (#351900749731)"
saying
"Shoes are used. "
Buyer:
4***u ( 1 )
During past month
when the listing CLEARLY states the shoes are pre-owned. Well, DUUUH. THAT'S WHAT "PRE-OWNED" MEANS.

But other problems like empty boxes, smelly and even possibly counterfeit and never-received items are more serious.

TASHA12, the bag itself seems to be genuine, it's the seller that might be a problem. Read their Feedbacks, the links are in post # 18872:
http://forum.purseblog.com/threads/authenticate-this-coach.889527/page-1259#post-30883254

I apologize for my late response but for some reason, it can go days without my receiving emails of topic updates. I realized that it's been a while since I read an authenticity request and found that I was 5 pages behind!

That particular listing is fine but goodwill_industries_of_san_francisco (as well as several other Goodwill and charity sellers) has a long history of listing and selling fakes. Be very careful.
