Although it looks okay (based on what I see), I wonder why the seller has 2 identical listings for the same used bag.

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

And a comparison of the creed on cginther-us's fake vs. authentic *6D creeds:

Yes! That is the zipper I expected to see. I can really see the differences in the creeds when they are side by side.

Thanks BeenBurned for taking the time, I really appreciate it!

Hello all

I would like to buy my first Coach bag on Ebay. Would someone be able to authenticate this bag?

VINTAGE COACH PATRICIA'S LEGACY LARGE FLAP PURSE SHOULDER BAG SATCHEL M8U-9951

Hi again,
Thought I would go ahead and post the listing for a different coach that I purchased as well.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-F8-G...2FIp8HCwU2zIzYjd9p7YU%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
I am waiting to receive it in the mail. I noticed that the strap has a buckle which is different from my other station bag. I bought it because it looked like a putty color and I like the taupe a lot. If this one is a fake, I will be 0-2 this week, haha.

Unfortunately the pictures in the listing are too small and can't be enlarged. We always need clear, readable pictures of the creed stamp and serial numbers because small details in those two items can often prove whether or not something's genuine, and we NEVER recommend that anyone buy a Coach especially from highly faked lines or periods where those details aren't clear in the photos.

The serial number listed by the seller already has possible problems because of the plant code. It MIGHT be OK but without a readable photo of the creed and serial and also the back of the brass turnlock (the oval piece with 4 prongs on the back of the bag's front flap) I'm not able to say for certain whether it's genuine or not. When you receive the bag please take clear close-ups of those details and post them here. You might also take pics of the strap buckle on this one and also on the other one you own since you say they're different.

Again, please don't buy or bid on "Coaches" without clear large photos of those details. How a purse is MADE doesn't prove anything, it's the details only found in real Coaches that are correct for the bag and when and where it was made that prove it's genuine.

It looks genuine although the inside pocket zipper pull may have been replaced, I don't recognise that design and the picture is out of focus.

I think it is probably authentic. I can see enough of the creed to tell that it has the unique details we expect from the G plant. The rest of the pictures are too blurry to see any details. As Hyacinth mentioned, when you get it, post pictures and we'll be able to give you a more definitive answer.

This might help. (The first is grainy because I enlarged it.)

Thanks! What is your opinion on the strap? My other one, and ones I have seen on etsy have the shorter crossbody strap with the "claw". Did the station bag also get made with the other simple clasp and the adjustable buckle?
