Compare -- For the following picture, I will post another copy of the same picture in which I show arrows showing differences.

View attachment 4181930

The arrows in the picture below are pointing to some of the differences.
1. C pattern is lower on the bag in her picture than in the picture of the bag you received
2. No space between the legs on her picture; space between legs on your bag.
3. Black line through white dot on lower right on her picture, on tan part in your picture
4. Different pattern placement on lower right corner

I see another difference, too: in the picture the seller sent, the word Coach is within the C next to the green patch. It's not there in the one you received.

On an impulse late last night I purchased this bag on eBay. Well I guess my excitement for finding it outweighed my common sense because as I looked at the listing again this evening I see a lot of discrepancies I for some reason didn't see last night.

Seller: kendre86

Item #: 191202166424

Item: NWT Coach tea rose rivets dinky crossbody in peony brass retail 595

Comments: the bag says "genuine glovetanned pebble leather" when it is obviously not pebbled leather. The tag has the correct style number but the description says "BP/melon" which should be a melon bag with black copper hardware when this bag is peony with brass hardware.

I don't believe that the bag sold by kendre86 is authentic.

Compare the creed to an authentic creed from same plant ( but a year later). Note the puffiness of kendre86 's creed, the amount of space between the top of the patch and "Coach" and the size of space between the text at bottom and the bottom of the creed patch. The stitch length down the sides of the creed patch is different to:
kendre86 creed vs authentic.png

The kisslock is backwards also:

ETA: Did you happen to notice that has another of the same fake?

DO NOT BUY FROM kendre86

Wow! I'm always amazed at the attention to detail you authenticators have. I never would have noticed this and I already own one Dinky. Thank you very much. Luckily the seller hasn't sent it out yet so I've sent a message to the seller to cancel my order.

It's fake. The bag definitely isn't pebble leather as you said. The kisslock hardware locks in the wrong direction. That's another dead giveaway. I believe the font on the tag is also different than what Coach prints.

Thank you. I reported it to eBay. I also noticed that the seller has another listing up with the exact same pictures of the bag I had purchased.

She has other current and completed appliqued bags, all of which are fake.

IMO, this seller needs appropriate feedback because she's got a ton of these scary fakes. And if the listings are removed, you won't be able to leave feedback.

C4EE5C52-49F4-4630-BAAB-103F22531483.jpeg Hope I am doing this right - first time . Have this purse and want to see if it is authentic. Maybe a Dinky Crossbody? The stamp picture is attached. It is 8.75” across and about 4.5” tall ( that is hard to measure because of the flexibility. 1.5” deep where the handle attaches. Help is appreciated!

We need to see pictures of the purse too. If you bought it online, we need a link to the listing and the seller's name.
