Hi all, looking for help authenticating this little guy! Purchased at a thrift store:
Not sure of the name
Dark brown
8 inches wide
5 inches tall
4 inches bottom
24 inch strap length

I think it is probably okay. More opinions are welcome.

It looks OK to me too although I don't know the name. But it was probably made between around 2001 and 2005. It might be from the Legacy West line.

I'm late to the party. It's definitely authentic.

Please educate me on this creed, authenticate at your convenience.

I hit post accidentally. I don't recall seeing J plant before. But there is that traveling M.

It's fake. There are legitimate J plant bags but they aren't made in the US and aren't made in 1996 and the only legitimate items with D6J prefixes are jackets.

ETA: The seller, manacobeach1 also has another fake Coach bag with the same invalid prefix.

boatcollector-usa is the picture thief.

Personally, I don't recommend boatcollector-usa. My records for this seller show that she had fakes in February, 2016, June 2016, August 2016 and April 2017.

Not speaking to authenticity on either of these bags , but the creed photos are NOT the same.
Look closely, the first bag "boatcollector-usa" has serial no. 472-5817
The second bag has serial no. 176-0517

That's a different picture than was there originally. Seller must've replaced the stolen pic.

 

[thecollector629]

So I'm a little suspicious... the creed in the following listing is the exact same (serial number included) as another listing:

This bag is using the creed from this listing. It seems very fishy and I'm not sure what report category it would be listed under... Any suggestions?

I'm guessing someone might have written to the seller to ask. (I've seen it happen in the past when people read something here on TPF and refer the seller here or ask the seller questions.)

Either way, boatcollector usa aka boatcollector-usa has a long history of selling fakes mixed in with authentic items.

ETA: I still had the window open with the listing (pre-change) and this is the creed photo that boatcollector-usa stole from another seller:

Unless my computer is acting wonky, it looks like boatcollector-usa put back the stolen picture of the creed.

Nope, not bizarre. (At first I thought it was a glitch. But no, the seller put back the stolen picture.

It looks like boatcollector-usa has recent feedback from the seller of the other duffle sac listing. So, boatcollector bought that bag? Flipper perhaps, but this doesn't look like the same bag...?

It's not the same bag. Even if it were the same bag, it doesn't give the right to use someone else's pictures.

Give me a minute. I'll see if I can find the purchase boatcollector made from marietta4409.

ETA: This is the listing boatcollector bought but it's not the bag in the listing!

Oh I agree, not ok to use someone else's photos (I've had plenty of my own stolen... major pet peeve!!). Just practicing my eBay investigation skills lol

You did well! See my edit above. (I doubt that the ink in the listing boatcollector bought would have come out.)

Hello! Does anyone recognize this style? I've never seen it before and tried doing a search online and nothing comes up which makes me wonder if it's authentic. Its a drawstring sling/ bucket backpack but looks clearly different than the classic sling backpack. Thanks for any info or insight!
