This bag is listed as a Dinky 38015. I found the same bag listed as F38496 and 38496 with "Whls Turnlock Crossbody".They all look alike with different item numbers. Are these real Coach bag numbers? Does Whls mean wholesale? Thank you. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Glovetanned-Leather-Dinky-Turnlock-Crossbody-38015/253729005529?epid=1476475769&hash=item3b136d5fd9:g:-YAAAOSwAk9ZnI4i&_sacat=0&_nkw=coach+dinky+38015&_from=R40&rt=nc&_trksid=m570.l1313 Is this a real Coach bag?

Seller: touchofclass4

I don't recommend touchofclass4 (2 ). Two of the 4 pictures are stolen stock images and the other 2 are blurry and useless as far as proving authenticity.

In fact, touchofclass4 also sold in this listing in April. Why someone would buy based on those pictures is beyond me:

The seller misuses the name dinky. The current dinky has a kisslock pocket inside. The one without the kisslock is called a turnlock crossbody. Whls doesn't stand for wholesale. I can't think of what it does mean.

Thanks
 

@Robin turner - The bag you asked about from savers4you is authentic. (It's not necessary to copy the pictures when they're in the listing.)

The comment I'd made about not recommending a seller was addressed to @bagsarebeautiful about the seller's listing she'd asked about.

Comment: Seller incorrectly wrote J6J in the title, prefix is actually D6J. My copy of the daria48 guide to fakes (downloaded from eBay when they were still there) does not have the D6J prefix information, although I see from searching this forum that it is considered always fake. Please confirm. Thanks!

That bag is fake and would have been fake whether it were made in April or September of 1996. The J plant didn't make bags in 1996.

Comment: creed pic is blurry...getting a headache trying to read the serial number (C5N?-99??) but the cartouche logo definitely looks wrong to me. Thanks!
I think it is C5K. There are lots of things wrong with the creed. It's fake.
It is C5K and was already discussed here, previously listed and loveleathers was negged for the bag. In fact, loveleathers has 11 negs within the last 12 months!

nd for the record, the seller sold other fakes.

This one is a "COACHBAG" -
