Please see the first post of the thread where it tells what additional pictures are needed for post-2014 bags with creeds without serial numbers.

There's no valid reason for that one to have been removed, it's a perfectly genuine Leather Pleated Hobo from 2005. An authentication company like Authenticate4U has qualified Coach experts who should be able to verify that if you need a letter to relist it.

Hello Hyacinth,
I'm new to the forum. Do you know if Authenticate4U is still in business? I saw them recommended by a few on this forum, so I sent a request several weeks ago and paid via Paypal. I have gotten no response or acknowledgement. I even tried messaging through facebook to no avail. They have my money though

There is a discussion of that service here: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/authenticate4u-com-experiences.837503/page-75#post-31122802 That link takes you to the last page of the discussion. There is a continuing problem with getting responses from A4U, as you've experienced. You might try posting in that thread to get advice.

The company has had communication, website, internet and health issues but they are still in business and still doing Coach.

@ConstanceD - Did you send an email to [email protected]? That's the address I use and I get quick replies.

BTW, after sending the payment through PP, you need to send the pictures to the address above.

The e-mail posted on their website is: [email protected] I thought it was strange, but used it.

If you used that address, you spelled "authenticate" wrong (missing the "e").

It's [email protected]

 

[ConstanceD]

Sorry, that was a current typo. I double checked the email I sent and it was spelled correctly. I appreciate all the help! I will send another reminder and wait and see.

Not a Willis. It's an authentic Station bag.

Does this look like the same bag? The turn lock seems to have more wear on the ebay listing.

Are you asking if it is the same exact bag, or just the same style? It is authentic. I believe it is a different bag. Creeds that have letters in them aren't unique and can be seen in many bags. The creed indicates the year, month, and plant where the item was produced, and the style number. Potentially thousands of station bags could have come out of that plant during that one month in 1994.
