Please authenticate these two Duffle's. TIA! :)

Item: 235398957
Seller: Coachrehab
Link: http://www.bonanza.com/listings/nwt...eather-duffle-tassel-purse-348-rare/235398957
Comments: Here's my concern. It looks like this listing uses a photo from the other listing (photo 6). It also has a combo of many different photo backgrounds, which raised a red flag. Both listings have the same photo (although seller below has more photos with the same background). They also both reference the same wrinkle.

Item: 143269883
Seller: Oldschool
Link: http://www.bonanza.com/listings/nwt-coach-legacy-leather-duffel-in-fushia/143269883
Comments: The "F" in the creed looks too far apart from the rest of the number?

I think you are right: Coachrehab stole the pictures from Oldschool. All of Oldschool's photos are the same size and have similar backgrounds. Coachrehab's pictures come from several sources and are all different sizes. I wouldn't buy from a seller who doesn't use her own photos and thinks it is okay to steal them.

I have this duffle with the same creed, and the "f" in mine has the same spacing as Oldschool's.

Not only is CoachRehab a picture thief who doesn't show her own pictures in her listings, but her prices are also higher than the sellers' listings whose pictures she stole!

Hmm. This is really odd.

This is from CoachRehab's description:
There is a slight wrinkle-see pic 4.
And this is the picture FROM HER LISTING (but not #4 in her listing) stolen from oldschool's listing:

pink.JPG



And from the owner of the picture's listing, oldschool states:
Reduced to 199.95 because of a wrinkle in the leather on the right hand side near the tassels.(Wrinkle is shown in bottom right picture)

And this is the image she's referring to - her own picture:

IMG_2073.JPG



This makes me even more wary of CoachRehab.

Please help authenticate:

Coach Red Leather Shoulder Bag

I'm thinking that the lining should be signature - not striped.

Thank you so very much.

We've seen a few bags that used the wrong lining that could still be authentic. This isn't one of them. The creed is a mess. It is puffy and there is a frame around the numbers. It is crooked. It has the J factory code that has never been verified for the US. The "o" is very large. The bag seems to be missing the "Coach New York" imprint on the front.

Thank you. I was wondering about the "J" plant, and could not find anything on it.

1. Genuine Weston shopper; there's no Willis in the name.
2. I don't know anything about this bag. It was made for the men's line in 2005.
3. Looks authentic.
4. Authentic.
3 & 4 were made in the same year but 3 was made in the US and 4 in China. The Chinese one has a nylon zipper.

Thanks - I was wondering about that zipper! And does that mean you're not sure if #2 is legit?
