It's fake.

ETA: If you are the winner, don't pay.

ETA #2: It's been removed already! I wish ebay was always this fast!

Great, they may have removed the fake but Fleabay has found yet ANOTHER way to F*CK UP.

The link to the fake includes a redirect to a different (genuine) backpack but with NO warning at all on the new page that' you've been redirected.The URL is the only clue, the new item number is toward the end, but most browser windows and address bars aren't wide enough to show the whole thing.
Apologies if this has been mentioned somewhere else, it's the first time I've noticed it. There used to be either an aqua-colored text bar near the top of the page or a large section to the right of the gallery photo with a link to the original item.

old link to the Fake:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-Coach-Vintage-brown-leather-backpack-handbag-/183438350908

Redirect link to a totally different listing showing both genuine and fake listing numbers;

Yes, I found this intermittent PITA issue a week or two ago. There's no warning or indication at all that it's a different listing than the one you're looking for.

I posted about it somewhere but can't find it ATM.

Both are authentic.

I'd probably go for the first because it's less expensive and the condition looks good. You might ask about stains and request better pictures of the outer corners to see if there's any wear.

Please read post 1, page 1 for the format and information we need to see.

If you have all the info, please post it along with a clearer (not blurry) picture of the creed as well as several more pictures showing sides, interior, made in tag, bottom, etc., etc..

Welcome to the forum! My daughter has that bag in a different color and it looks so cute on her.

Thanks! Hope it's just short term memory loss on my part. Now that I see it and see my reply, the memory starts coming back. :-s

You are so brave. I haven't been able to work up the nerve to dunk a bag yet. I dunked two straps and they turned out fine. What leather products are you using? I am used to using Apple for my LVs, but I bought Leather CPR and Black rock for these bags. I found them more difficult to work with than Apple.
