Is this one fake? Th is creed number is on the fakes list (questionable prefix and the wrong style) but the seller swears to its authenticity.

Item: Vintage Coach black leather turn key lock cross body 4896
Seller: 1949treasures
Item no: 1314351542227
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/131435154227?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

She already has 5 bids on it...


The seller can swear on every bible in Christendom, it's still fake. That style number belongs ONLY to a Swing Wallet.

What's even funnier is that she used Daria's guide to "authenticate" it.

This is from her description:
On Feb-22-15 at 09:17:26 PST, seller added the following information:
This was used as a guide line for authenticating this Coach purse....it is made very well no miss-spellings and the creed was used to represent other "fake" items not used in purses!

I'm sure Daria is absolutely THRILLED to be mentioned in a listing for a fake. :lecture:

What part of "always fake" doesn't that airhead understand?
 
Wow! What a great price! I'm jealous. It appears to be an authentic large saddle pouch, although the seller didn't provide measurements so I'm not sure which size it is. These used to go for big bucks. I wonder if it is really burgundy.

Thanks whateve! I can't believe my luck with this one. I've lost count on how many went too high for my budget. It'll be nice if its the larger size too. Burgundy hopefully. Maybe red? I'll do an after dunk on the rehab thread.

You're welcome! I just finished a gray large saddle pouch. Mine was even cheaper than yours! I was really surprised no one else bid. The proportions on yours really look like it could be the large.
 
looks good.
Thanks Whateve for the two authentications..! the Lulas is really nice, the pics must have been taken with flash, so a nice surprise for 25 bucks..the conv clutch./pocket,,havent even looked at it...is dirty gertie..and
the
NYC bag was a mistake, s
Sorry. to TPF'er...I was looking at too many bags..and went back to it.
Soo many bags, so little $$ to purchase them!
CHEERS!!
And Thank you all for your help!!:sunshine::sunshine:

You're welcome! You're more motivated than me! I have one bag waiting for a bath. I'm happy to only have one rehab going at a time. The last time I did a convertible clutch I said was the last time - I have trouble getting the backs smooth, and the weird way the sides fold in give me trouble.

I mostly do pockets & cov clutches..I hate the brass grommets on Lulas, Helens Duffels..and I still keep buying & rehabbing them..BUT, I get to watch(or listen) to loads of netflix movies, so .that is .my tradeoff for: buffing, wuffing & steelwooling.~not to mention picking greengunk out with toothpicks.. MOVIES!!
I have to keep going & rehabbing because I enjoy eating occassionally, the badboyz really love to eat too~so hunger is quite motivating..LOL!!
I just finished a gorgeous Burgundy Large Saddle Pouch.with NO flaws!!
.just have to get motivated to shoot &list it..I'll put it up on R&R ..
Later Ladies!! :drinks:

Ooh I bet it gorgeous! I saw a burgundy small saddle pouch on my trip. I was tempted but they wanted too much for it, and it was too small. Even DH liked it!
