I have a few comments.

OTHER OPINIONS ARE WELCOME.


1. I'd like to know the name of the Instagram seller who sold it -- and her location. (Is it the Philippines?) Just curious.
2. I don't recommend IG because there's no vetting of items or sellers and there are tons of fakes, often sold with pictures stolen from other sources/sellers/websites.
3. Swaggers (and rogues and some other styles) are scarily well-faked
4. Your pictures aren't adequate for authentications although in this case, I've seen enough
5. I don't believe that bag is authentic.

Just based on the creed and the white tag, there are details that differ enough that I'd return and demand a refund.

The tag picture and the creed are from a bag that was made in the same month, year and factory that your bag claims to have been made and the details should match.

Do you see the differences? (I'll post both full size and enlargeable thumbnails)

Good morning. Please authenticate the following 9995 zip top shopper. Thank you so much.

ITEM: Coach Red Leather Zipper Top Shopper Handbag

ITEM #:

SELLER: rabblerat

LINK:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-RED-...481650?hash=item4b46ddb332:g:1QgAAOSwQz1bKmq6

Comment: rabblerat posted only three photos so I requested picture of creed/reg # which she sent directly to me via eBay message. I have included it below...poor quality but I think clear enough, will request better picture or additional pictures if you need it.

It's a genuine Zip Top Shopper. The year code looks like 1996.

Just comparng the photos I'd have to say that the bag in question is NOT authentic. Even without the comp photos the white tag with the codes doesn't look right compared to the bags I've seen from the same time period.

I just saw the seller has multiple quantities of the same bag available. I am guessing he/she uses the same pics to sell each bag instead of individually listing each bag and the photos of the exact bag for sale.

I agree there isn't enough shown in the pictures to be able to authenticate the bag. The seller doesn't show Creed patch or the little tag with serial numbers from inside the kisslock pocket. The use of the stock photos are also confusing as the hardware shown in the stock photo (2nd pic) doesn't match the hardware of the bag. Also I noticed the seller shows one style number on the tag but has different style number on the listing's title.

I would like to see the photos of the actual Creed patch and the serial tag and a close up pic of the kisslock hardware.
Hi,

Sorry for the late reply on this. For both you @houseof999 and @BeenBurned i did purchase this bag but to be honest, i had just had surgery and must have bit a bit high on morphine to buy without authentication:) Here’s more pics. I hope this helps with authentication. Recovering now so no more impulse purchases. Thanking you both in advance.
 
Hi authencators,

I seem to have an addiction for the 1941 dark denim. Is this dark denim 1941 Duffle authentic? This time (unlike my *hopefully* real dinky 24) I won’t purchase till I know it’s authentic for sure in advance thanks to you amazing authencators!

I don't authenticate newer styles, but the experts who DO need to see the 2 small (usually white) tags inside the main body of the bags and also deep inside the largest inside pocket. READ POST NUMBER ONE ON THIS THREAD FOR DETAILS
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/authenticate-this-coach-see-first-post-for-format.889527/
and provide the required photos of those tags, examples of which can clearly be seen in many photos that have been posted here in this thread in the last day or two. Ask the seller(s) to provide those photos since the generic serial numbers in both bags don't provide effective information:
Posts 31352 thru 31356 show why that information is so important.
"Since mid-2014, Coach stopped putting serial numbers on creeds so in newer bags where the creeds don't have serial numbers, we also need to see pictures of the labels/tags from inside the bag. They are either both in the main open part sewn into the seam of the lining, or one might be buried deep inside the zipper pocket. One shows where made and the other has a serial number.

Authenticators are not required to answer every request and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format. "


WE ALSO REQUIRE THE INFORMATION ABOUT WHERE THE ITEMS ARE BEING LISTED AND THE SELLER'S ID.
"This is a free service, but it is imperative that you help our authenticators by using the following format:

  • Item:
    Listing number:
    Seller:
    Link:
    Comment
If the bag in question is not on an auction site, please use the following:

Item Name (if you know it):
Link (if available)"


We require this information for authentications, and we don't recommend buying any bag where the seller hasn't provided a full set of those photos. Thank you!

Good morning, authenticators. I'm back for a third try at a classic duffle sac from the 90s but this time prior to purchase. (Hmm. Apparently you can teach an old dog some new tricks)

Item: Coach duffle sac 9085
Listing number: 253810702637
Seller: 87vanden6
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-LRG-...702637?hash=item3b184bf92d:g:pHIAAOSw~yNbb7Ym

Just looking to confirm authenticity. Frankly black and British Tan are two colors of this bag that I never had. Hoping to find a genuine bag on ebay but doubting my eyes and decision making abilities. BTW Both previous fakes were returned for full refunds with return labels. All thanks to this forum.

ETA: I have pasted and re-pasted the link into this post. No idea why it won't show up and what on earth an emoji is doing in it. Hopefully no one will mind searching by item number on ebay.
