Hi there! I'm intrigued by this listing. I've never seen this style before, could I get some help authenticating?

Thanks Hyacinth.. i found several unmatched color in the item's name, like you said..

For color, i think i'll try to find saddle.. perhaps camel is too light as I am not a careful person, a bit afraid that I will put a permanent stain in the leather..

You're welcome. However, I didn't provide a picture of camel. My bag is saddle. If a bag is that yellowish tan color and has an all numeric creed, it is saddle, not camel.

The pictures are terrible. There are no pictures of the back of the bag. I suspect this bag had a flap at one time. That round spot on the lower front below the pocket looks suspiciously like the mark a turnlock would leave when it was removed. It's not from a Bonnie collection.

I agree with everything whateve said.

It looks to me like someone sewed a bag together from parts of other bags. The way the straps are joined to the bag is odd. A clear picture of the interior of the bag would probably tell a lot. For example, what is that thing in the picture on the lower right, that looks like a raw edge?

AMEN, SISTERS !!!

That bag is the worst chop job I've ever seen. And it can be reported because it's not an authentic Coach product. Fake style, turnlock hardware has been removed, the strap was made from at least 2 different straps VERY badly attached together as the left side of the 5th photo clearly shows, among all the problems already noted. What a POS!

Hi! I would love your help in authenticating this bag listed on Ebay:
Item: Coach Station bag, British Tan
eBay item number:
323534262195
Seller: Roundstripes
Comments: I found a previously authenticated Station with the same Serial #, but there are differences in the background of the COACH at the top and possibly the font.

Thank you so, so much! I didn't realize I wanted one of these bags until I saw a photo of one in the wild :o)

It looks OK, made in 1996.

Please tell me that is a finger!

 

[houseof999]

Please tell me that is a finger!

I can't tell you that. Unless you want to start calling toes fingers.. then it's a foot finger. It really does look like a pinky toe of a right foot.

Apparently she used her foot to hold the bag. Yuck.

I was peeking at tpf on my phone while at work and literally stopped and stared at this toe insanity! Totally lost my cool for a moment!
