Would you kindly double check this saddle bag? If it's good, I'm returning the one I ordered last week, hehe.

Item: Whiplash saddle bag
Item #: 182624252029

Comments: what does the D stamp mean? Does it mean to expect a 2" long pen mark on the suede? Not happy about that.

I think it's okay. I have no idea what the D means.

Did you get a second chance offer from the seller? It looks like the seller sold it on June 16:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Limited-Edi...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Then sold to the second place bidder in this listing on June 17:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Limited-Edi...5OQJb%2BZqMZgbBqlf9VE%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

Thank you! Yes, I did get it on a second chance, which was good since I was pouting after missing out the first time [emoji6]

Item: Rhyder 33 Nubuck Satchel
Style No: 34018 DK RED
Listing number: 40473853
Seller: shopgoodwill.com
Link: https://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem.asp?ItemID=40473853

Comments: I’m a bit shocked that I actually won this bag. I put in a modest bid on impulse at the end of the auction and I got it $79.01 - and it was a $650 bag when it was released for fall 2014! I think that it is genuine but I would greatly appreciate your opinion. I hope that I will be able to rehab it, nubuck can be very difficult to clean.

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

I hope you made a typo! According to the white tag, it was made in June, 2014.

It looks good to me.

Comments: Was the C plant still in operation in 2002?

In a word - no.

The creed stamp is fake too, the Coach name is crooked. Coach NEVER used such a screwed-up POS stamp in one of their handbags.

As for the date, so far the C plant code hasn't appeared in any genuine bag made after 2000.

For some reason, the post above didn't include my description:

Item name: ?
Dimensions: w 10" h: 11" d: 4-3/4"
Adjustable strap length: 37-1/2" max drop 20"
It seems very lightweight, which is why I question it. Thank you and sorry about the formatting issues!

It looks like a Bucket Bag, #4075 from the Lightweights collection.

I bought this at a large consignment auction this weekend and now I'm second guessing myself. It looks good, but so do some fakes. It is approximately 7" high and 9" wide with a 22" drop. Anyone who knows what this is, please let me know.

I tried to upload pictures three times. Using cameras with different megapixels and changing to a plain background. How do I get the page to take my pictures?
The following error occurred
The uploaded file is too large for the server to process.
