But none of the shoes are Coaches. How would the seller get 2 dozen Coach dustbags?

And I miscounted, the seller actually has for sale:
4 sets of 3 each - 18x17 inches
1 set of 2 - 24x22
1 set of 3 - 13x13
3 sets of 3 each - 14x14

so that makes 26 actual bags currently for sale. Where is she getting them? Or am I just overly suspicious? If you think they're ok, that's all I need to hear.

While I'm not sure enough to report, I'm not comfortable with the dust bags (described by the seller as being satin - unlike the heavy cotton dust bag that @Bales25 got with boots) and wouldn't recommend buying them from halynbarr0. JMHO.

Another thing that makes me question authenticity is the uncentered "COACH" name. Note that the name is slightly more to the right of center so the left margin is larger than the right.




ETA: A google image search doesn't bring up a single dust bag like this seller has and IMO, when one person has so many and no one else has them, that's another huge red flag.

Thank you, I also noticed the slightly off logo so I didn't want to chance it, at least the normal style i know are authentic. Thank you all for your help, it's greatly appreciated.
I had no idea there was a list of bad sellers! I totally missed it, Is there a way to search within that thread for specific sellers?

 

[whateve]

There are also these out there too (since it's only an app I included a picture) they're a bit different, not sure about these either and I did check the sellers items and they've sold a ton and no Coach bags

I have one that is similar to this one except it has New York in place of 1941. I've never bought a 1941 item. There are people selling on ebay who get things from the Coach warehouse because they work there or know someone who does. There was a woman who for years sold lots of small Coach things, like keychains, before they got released before she disappeared. She was located in Jacksonville, FL, so there were theories about how she acquired her merchandise. Once I bought 10 dustbags at a thrift store. I have tons of dustbags. If I ever decided to sell them, people might question where I got them.

Hello authenticators. I would appreciate if you would authenticate this Coach before I list on EBay. Is this considered vintage? The strap is 56” long. The bottom is 6” long and 6” high. I do not know the name so I couldn’t find it anywhere. The item is the size of a can of pop/soda. It has been in my possession for the last year or so and too small for me. Thank you in advance. RomeyBeano

Hello, would someone be able to tell me if this is an authentic Coach bag? I purchased this cute little crossbody at a thrift store yesterday and I keep going back and forth on authenticity of it. Also, if it is real, could you tell me the style name? Thank you!

Note: There is no style tag that I can find other than the tag that says made in China. Also, the zipper says ideal on it (I know it’s a bit hard to see in the picture)

It's authentic. There is an error in the month code that is acceptable but some people might question it. It's a Sonoma small pouch nubuc.

Welcome! We don't need the zipper brand. It's authentic. I don't know the name. It is some kind of swingpack, made for the outlets. More opinions are welcome.

I apologize if I listed this incorrectly! Never had to have one authenticated before!

I also purchased this newer, thinner shoulder purse #17994 on Poshmark and wonder if it’s authentic.

Item: vintage coach crossbody
Seller: amyellaboutique on Poshmark
Comments: I’m just not a fan of the thinner leather and want to know if it’s fake or real (real I’ll resell but fake will get tossed). Thank you!

I already jumped the gun and bought this! I just can’t tell from the F in the creed! I’m sure or I think it means factory. But, I don’t know!

It's a genuine Small Leather Shoulder Bag from the 2011 line of remakes of some of Coach's classic and vintage bags that Coach introduced on Net-a-Porter and then made available directly from Coach. There were quite a few comments here from posters who didn't like the thinner leather either.
