Has anyone seen this new Dinky bag in person? I can't read the Creed patch on my phone but the Creed patch itself is usual shape. Plus, the kisslock hardware has me thinking it's not authentic. Zero feedback new seller too. It's not a Disney bag at all. Already has a bid!

Item: Dinky bag
Link: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/392152919552

Seller: karabphalats-0

I don't know whether it's authentic or not but I have a couple of comments.

1. She probably chose "Disney" from something she saw that looked similar. We've said many times that you can't trust that sellers will use correct names. I think she chose from the auto-fill item specifics.

2. The kisslock is definitely backwards as compared to others as well as to the Coach website:
https://www.coach.com/coach-dinky-w...btDXwni6YJi5WMjXX37030gJgAbVIL5hoCpLMQAvD_BwE

3. She describes it as style 32758 but the creed does have the "correct" style number for that style of bag. (This isn't to say it's authentic; I don't know at this point.)

4. Her bag also appears to be missing something that's stamped under the front flap with "genuine glovetanned leather."

ETA: The above picture is from Selfridges listing. The following is from the Coach website:

AT THIS POINT, BASED ON THE DIFFERENCES I SEE, I'D STAY AWAY FROM karabphalats-0

Thank you! I looked up the style number from the description and found nothing on Coach and that pretty much confirmed it. Then I found the dinky and the style number is definitely different. Also I believe the tattoo collection are all Chelsea Champlain designs so there should be something about that on the bag.

Did you misunderstand my reply?

Although she has an either invalid or wrong style number in the description, the style number shown on the creed IS correct for that item (assuming authenticity) so at that point, IMO, nothing is "confirmed."

As I said in my response, there are absolutely questionable details about the bag but I don't think we have enough info to report it. But I do think there are enough questions to recommend against buying from karabphalats-0.

Unless someone has irrefutable proof of inauthenticity, I can't report.

Oh I didn't mean it confirmed it's fake, just that the style number the seller listed isn't for the bag in photos. I did see the correct style number is on the Creed patch. But I'm really curious about the correct details. I'll have to go see one of these in person to see what that design is that's missing under the words.

All are authentic but none are technically "vintage" as they aren't yet 20 years old.

The first was made in October, 1999 so wouldn't be vintage for another year.
The other 2 were from 2001 and 2002 so they aren't 20 years old either.

Thank you so much for the prompt reply!!

They look authentic to me, but I was hesitant because it’s so rare to come across brand new/mint conditions now. Especially in the camel :heart: Too bad I missed out /: If only Coach would bring back the classics again!

Genuine, one of the many Soho Mini Signature wristlets from roughly 2004 to 2009, made for the Factory Stores so dating and even identifying is often impossible. If I can find a name, I'll post it but it's unlikely, the outlet items weren't on Coach's website. Very cute wristlet though, and a great color. :smile:

I'm late in responding.

The style number is 40585 and it's called a Soho mini sig large wristlet. It's from approximately 2006.
