Thanks so much @BeenBurned !!
I have one more would like to check with you, if you don't mind. This bag I am eying on line. I really love Coach bags but I can only afford pre loved for now.. It's only $24 on line.

Hi! I purchased this bag and think it may be an Outlet bag but not sure. Could you authenticate it? Sorry, the creed pics did not come out great. The wording on the creed and the hang tag made me suspectView attachment 4113768 View attachment 4113769 View attachment 4113770 View attachment 4113771 View attachment 4113772 View attachment 4113773 View attachment 4113774 View attachment 4113775 .

Welcome to TPF.

Seller:
Queen Of Fashion
@TopNotchFinderSHOP

Had you come here prior to purchasing, I wouldn't have recommended that bag or seller because none of the pictures are the seller's own but instead were found on the internet and stolen from other sellers. Sellers should be doing to the work to take their own pictures so buyers can see exactly what they're going to get.

With that said, if the pictures you showed are of the item you received, it's authentic.

Thank you BeenBurned! Yes, those are the pictures I took of the actual bag (and I love it). I appreciate the quick reply.

Hi Authenticators. Here’s a puzzle....Seller Reuse Nation - I’ve not seen any comments about them...pretty scant info.

https://reusenation.com/products/ra...ther-ergo-flap-hobo-shoulder-bag-handbag-9034

As always any help is appreciated; Thanks!

FAKE. Don't waste your time or your money!

Serial numbers starting with "J8Y-" are ALWAYS fake, just like J8P- ot J8H-, read the copy of Daria48's Fake Numbers List that (I hope!) is still posted at Ebay's UK site:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/gds/Fake-Coach-Serial-Numbers-NT-4903-and-more-/10000000002744619/g.html

Part 2 may still be Cached by the Wayback Machine:
https://web.archive.org/web/2016050...rial-Numbers-Part-2-/10000000179041909/g.html

Please save those URLs and use them.
 
As usual, I REALLY appreciate your time on this...printing both now. For me, as a vintage collector but a real newbie to all this info, it really gets depressing when it seems I’m seeing more FAKES than authentic bags. I’ve reported 2 today (not counting this one!) just on the basis of previous posts you added. At least ebay removed them...
Thank you again!
 
Are these jackets listed somewhere? Please refer to post 1, page 1 for the information we need.
Hello there,

Yes they were on eBay - my husband bought them on my account - not sure about them- I will see if I can still get those details for you and repost later today- the tag (not sure if from a discount store) and the label that you are supposed to tear off doesn’t have the scissors and dotted line perforation on it- thank you in advance
