Can you authenticate this handbag that was sold on Ebay. I'm wondering if the Ridgefield bag has been restyled. Thanks.

Isn't that 200-07 on the Creed? If so it's definitely fake. The turnlock is wrong too.

I can't read the full serial number but I see 20?- at the front of it.

The seller also describes "Wako leather," something we've seen on Korean fakes, both with and without the Coach name.

I increased the contrast and it doesn't look good. The o is huge next to N! Then it does look like 202-? Can't tell where it's made in though.

I see a five letter word starting with K. That turnlock (wrong style, as you mentioned) with the strip of smooth leather behind it is a big red flag too.

Also, there's this duffle on eBay that's bright yellow I'd like some insight into:
Item: Vintage Coach Duffle Mustard
Item Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-VINTAGE-XL-DUFFLE-BAG-VERY-GOOD-CLEAN-MUSTARD/173682051344?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
Seller: Macbabe29

The creed appears to be genuine, but I've never seen a Coach with such a hodge-podge of leather textures before. Even the pocket that the creed is stamped on is so "textured" that the creed itself is illegible, and that style 9085 was NOT available in any type of textured or pebbled leather AFAIK. It would also be nice to see another example of the last photo that's actually reasonably well-lit so we could see just what the seller is (or ISN'T) trying to show. It's a strange color too, hard to figure out if it's actually the 1997 Lime shade or maybe Banana from 1995. I only have a few 1996 catalogs but that color isn't in them.

So - probably genuine but I'd advise caution especially if someone's buying it to re-sell.

Can I get some hope with this item - is it authentic and is it a Carrier or Musette?
Item Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-leather-cross-body-messenger-5c0ee8f9d6dc5268e2d8b5f1
Seller: aholzwasser
Comments: I believe it may be a Carrier, as it has the zippered inside pocket.
Click to expand...

I agree, the Musette didn't have a zipped inside pocket. It also looks like it has an outside back pocket although that's not mentioned in the listing. But the shape seems more squared off in the bottom corners than either one, unless that's because of whatever the owner was carrying in the bag.

I think it's ok but would really like WHATEVE to verify. Maybe she can take a look at the Duffle Sac in your other post too.

I don't know whether Hyacinth checked out the seller's other items but I definitely urge caution with macbabe29. Clearly, she doesn't verify authenticity before listing.

This is another current listing - not authentic.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-XL-LEATHER-LEGACY-DUFFLE-BUCKET-BAG-BLACK-LEATHER/173684239904

I also wonder why the listing you asked about is the ONLY one of her Coach listings that doesn't show the full and legible creed. Every other listing does show it.

I'm new to this so please forgive me if I've made an error. I've been looking at Brooke bags on EBay. One I've bid on is a purple leather with gold/brass hardware. The lining is a light lavender or pink satin. There is a purple leather tag and a gold one. The number on the creed is E0920-14142. The seller is orange-yellow(7747). There are two short handles and a longer one. Please help me authenticate. I have no pictures, just the EBay link. Thank you!
