Hello! I just purchased my first Coach purse on ebay. Previously I only owned one purse, a Lucky Brand crossbody that I've had for over 6 years, but last week the straps completely broke off. I was in desperate need of a new purse, and decided to purchase this black Willis bag. It arrived today in great condition, but it didn't occur to me until now to see if it's actually authentic (duh).

Item: Willis Crossbody Bag
Listing number: 272780158303
Seller: topdesignerbrandsforless2015
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-V...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
Comments: This is my first post, so please let me know if you need anything else/I'm not doing this right. Thanks so much!

A macro close-up of the "male" part of the magnetic snap so we can read what's stamped on it would also be a huge help. And try using a light swipe of light-colored powder eyeshadow as katev suggested. Even baby or talcum powder might work if there are no other light-colored powders available.

ETA - It looks like a genuine Paris Bag (standard or small) style 4100 from the Lightweight collection from around 1989-90, the serial number will just be a string of 7, or in very rare cases 8, numbers. Here's the Spring 1989 catalog pic:

Thanks you, Still no luck with the powder or eye shadow. Here's a picture of the male part of the closure.
