Hello,

Could you guys please authenticate this?

Item: Vtg Coach Willis Crossbody Bag
Listing number: 292338958759
Seller: timetw0buy
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/292338958759
Comments: I already bought this, and I probably should have looked into it more. Apparently, buyer says its authentic but doesn't show the serial number only the inside of the bag. She did say in her description that the serial no. was H50-9927

Welcome to TPF.

Have you received the bag yet? Is the bag still in the seller's possession? Either way, we need to see a legible picture of the creed and serial number.

It's not necessary to recopy the pictures from the listing. If you have additional pictures to show, i.e., the creed and serial number, then you can add that.

Hello,
I purchased this bag off of ebay recently. When I received it, is seemed off, especially the zipper and the creed stamped too hard. I want to notify the seller if it is a fake. Thanks for your help in authenticating!Coach1.jpg Coach2.jpg Coach3.jpg

Post a link to the listing and the seller's name. Is this the listing? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Large-Coach-Messenger-School-Bag-Type-Brown-Leather-Bag-E6D-5281-/222713463459?hash=item33dac1c2a3:g:UdgAAOSwCtJaBP04&nma=true&si=EIVdXynPcuZcOuAC1tuuyH4VdZc%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
seller: cginther-us

I agree with you, it is fake, but not because the creed is stamped too hard. You are right in that Coach would never use that zipper pull. The creed wording is wrong for the date and plant on the creed, the font of the number is wrong, and the "No." is wrong. The logo at the top of the creed is wrong.

I don't have enough examples of this style to be sure, but I believe the zipper should be metal, not nylon.

Yes, that is the link and seller. I should have taken a closer look. Although, the fake is really well made.

Here's a listing for an authentic version of the bag and the correct zipper pull.
