My sister gave me a beautiful BT Willis on Friday that her mother in law had given to her but she didn't want it because it's not her style. Major score for me, yay! However, the Willis that she gave me is so soft and supple and luxurious that it made me question a dark brown Willis that I bought from a rehabber about 5-6 years ago, before I knew about counterfeits. My brown Willis feels stiff and the suede inside feels shaved, for lack of a better word. The tan Willis is so soft on the inside. May I please request an authentication on my old brown Willis? I didn't find the serial number to be a known fake and I just don't know what else to look for. I know that the hardware and the shoulder strap are replacements and I know that the rehabber used products to restore the bag, I just don't know what was used. The measurements are about 10.5Lx 3W x 10H. Please let me know if better pictures are required. And again, thank you so very much!

Are you comparing it to others with the same year and plant codes? We've said this often - you can only compare apples to apples.

It looks perfectly fine to me.

Thank you again...I was comparing to a “C” plant code....still learning, I especially appreciate your patience with us newbies!
Here are22E2E8C3-EF5B-40A2-92D0-E62BD6098A8D.png the pics of how I got confused — the “E” one you authenticated but this one just looked different...And I really didn’t want to bother y’all again!

The numbers on one seem just a tiny bit closer together but I've seen that before. Otherwise the numbers and the "No" look identical.

Dear authenticatiors, could you please take a look? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-COACH-Blue-Leather-Cross-Body-Messenger-Handbag/113148380508

The seller, gratefullord, sent me this creed image. Please let me know if you need additional pictures, or the thick numbers and the plant code (S?) are worrisome enough. Thanks.
