It's already gone.

Good!! Thanks whateve [emoji4]
Did you catch the seller's ID? The item number doesn't have enough digits for an ebay number.

ETA: Found it.
Seller janed99
Item number 282630039012
http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-COA...039012?hash=item41ce1025e4:g:-lcAAOSwRDpZpcEb

Very strange looking (portion of the) creed appears way too high and too close to the zipper.

Yep, not a Coach, and even if it was it's definitely not from the time period the seller is claiming. The Coach stamp on the creed is a mess, it almost looks like the Coach logo and the border around the creed were stamped by 2 separate stamps, one on top of the other. The Coach logo is a lot deeper than the creed border. The color of the pocket and creed doesn't quite match the leather color above the zipper either.

Note: The PurseForum requests that only members with an extensive knowledge of the brand and authenticating who have over 500 posts participate as authenticators in this AT thread. The moderators reserve the right to remove authentications that do not meet these requirements.


Please follow the following rules:

  • If the bag in question is not on an auction site, please use the following:

    Item Name (if you know it):
    Link (if available):
    Then attach any photos (all authentication must include photos.)
    • Please be sure to include a clear readable photo of the creed stamp and serial number from inside the bag or accessory if there is one, and the bag's measurements when the bag is an older or vintage leather Coach.
    • Since mid-2014, Coach stopped putting serial numbers on creeds so in newer bags where the creeds don't have serial numbers, we also need to see pictures of the labels/tags from inside the bag. They are either both in the main open part sewn into the seam of the lining, or one might be buried deep inside the zipper pocket. One shows where made and the other has a serial number.
  • Authenticators are not required to answer every request and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format.
  • Please note that comments on price and condition are NOT permitted.
  • Do NOT PM an authenticator or moderator to request authentication. Any and all such requests should be posted in this thread.

Please help me authenticate this purse! I did my best to get decent pictures of all the hardware and everything. I believe its a Hologram Leather City Zip Tote, which I think is limited edition? The creed is (seemingly) rubbed off some, I know it used to be in better shape than it currently is. I'm just assuming that the stuff in my bag and reaching in and out has worn it off some?
Sorry, if I'm not posting this correctly or have excluded necessary information, this is the first time I've had to actually post for help authenticating a purse. I'm out of my league on this one and cant seem to find to find someone else who's asked for authentication on this specific bag. I would really appreciate any help y'all could give me!
