Hello! Could I see if this could be authenticated? Thanks so much

Item: Not sure the name 9022
Listing number: 352037500026
Seller: orange-yellow

It's fine.

As for the age of the catalog pic, I can't find that exact page but based on the $258 price for the Duffle Sac it seems that the catalog page is from around 1997-2000. Which is still a lot older than the Janice's in the listing. And how hard is it to find a catalog with a Janice's Legacy?

ETA - WOOT! Found it, in the Spring Preview 1998 catalog

Thanks for posting. I had no idea they were still making Faith's in 1998.

Thanks for posting. I had no idea they were still making Faith's in 1998.

Those Catalog-only styles are almost always remakes of a style that had been discontinued anywhere from 3 to 8 or 10 years before. Coach was doing that about every 2 or 3 years in the 1990s - limited Catalog-only run and then anything that was left over was sent to the outlets.

@Hyacinth Well thanks, I didn't expect anyone to be working the third shift! Night all!

 

[houseof999]

@Lake Effect, me too. I emailed the seller that her bag isn't authentic and that she might want to remove the listing before getting reported. She said, "thanks for your concern" and blew me off.

 

[Lake Effect]

@houseof999 I just read the full listing where she indicates she doesn't know how to authentic her bag. Really? Then how about not listing it on the first place? Maybe I will email her too.

I already told her it has the wrong style number. I don't think she believes me. Another seller Deb is still trying to sell the same fake station bag I asked about a while ago. This time she removed the Creed pic completely. But I still recognize the main photo from before.

The only fuzziness you might feel is from the suede fuzz. The bag is fake.
