seller LADIES COUTURE

Did you already purchase the bag? I'm assuming the pictures you've posted are of the bag you received.

I'm not comfortable with the seller. Pictures in the listing appear to be stolen (or "borrowed") from other sources and do not show the same bag you received.
1. The creed in the listing has a horse and carriage logo at the top of the creed. Your bag has "COACH."
2. The creed in the listing doesn't have a serial number. Your bag does have one.
3. Some bags of that style (made in 2015) did have horse and carriage creeds and without serial numbers, your pictures show a bag made in 2017 with a serial number. Seller shouldn't be showing a completely different bag (authentic or not) with details that don't match the year that the bag she sold was made.
4. There are a couple of things that bother me but I'd like to see better (clear and straight on) pictures of the markings on the rings (with the Coach name), pictures of both sides of the made in tag (inside left seam in lining) and a straight on picture (not angled) of the full front of the bag. If there are diagonal seams going from the handle anchors to the corners, picture should show them.

Note that zipper brand is irrelevant.

Yes. I have purchased the bag.
Here are the additional photo. Hope its clear for u.
Not very sure about the diagonal seams. plz hv a look is this photo show?
I think the bag in your pictures is okay but I'm not really comfortable with the font on the rings holding the strap nor with the split seam on the middle ring (shown in your picture 5 in post 33222.)

Other opinions are welcome and if anyone has this Kelsey bag, that would be super helpful.

EDITED TO ADD:

I'm also suspicious because the seller has another of the identical bag in the same listing with the same stolen pictures. It's strange that she's have 2 (new?) bags, both without tags.

And this is another seller ID, same pictures, different seller, this one described as new:

Thanks for your advise.
I will try to take another better picture tomorrow under sunlight. I think will look better.
Split seam at the middle ring - do you mean authentic shouldn't have split seam even on the middle ring ( oval shape )?

About the seller, this seller is not posting the actual picture of each bag they sell. Only indication photo. They Keep on selling the same model with the same post.

On a brand new authentic bag, I've never seen the ring open like that.

Not only is it illegal to use someone else's pictures but it's dishonest and misleading because there's no way to know what you (as the buyer) will receive. And clearly, her pictures show an item that differs from what you received.

In fact, I looked at quite a few listings on that site and many sellers do the same thing.

Personally, I never recommend a seller who doesn't take the time to take pictures and let buyers see exactly what they're getting.

I saw this bag yesterday at lifepath ministries but I could find it online while I was in the store. Is this style even in existence?

Item name: not sure (kinda looked like the soho style buckle? , but not really the same direction)
Link : none found in a thrift shop for $6.99 didn’t purchase it.

Sorry about the pictures and that of creed, it was kinda hard to get clear pictures in there

Wow, your pics are huge!

The bag is authentic and is some type of Soho flap from 2005.
 
Item: Coach Monticello 4226
Listing number: ?
Seller: ?
Link: ?
Comments: The bag I have says 235 but looks like 4226. Is it mis-labeled?
Measurements are: 8" tall, 10" long, 4" deep
Thank you. View attachment 4278984 View attachment 4278985 View attachment 4278986 View attachment 4278988 View attachment 4278990
It's authentic. It's a Sheridan Monticello #4226 but it isn't mislabeled. It was made before 1994 so it has an all numeric serial number that has no relation to the style. Coach didn't start putting style numbers in creeds until 1994. It was probably made in 1993.
