Hello! I love the bag in this photo but not sure what it is. I found it in the Coach Sightings in the Wild thread post #2114. I think this bag on eBay is the same bag but not sure so looking for your expertise in 1) identifying the bag from the Wild and 2) if the one on eBay is the authentic. They have different style numbers from what I can tell but the one from the Wild post may not be accurate.

Here is the link to the one in the Wild:
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/coach-sightings-in-the-wild.191067/page-141#post-29127516

And here is the info to the one on eBay:

Item: Coach Vintage Lindy Kiss Lock Black Leather Thin Double Strap Swing Bag
Listing Number: 233143018911
Seller: debsw52
Link:

It's genuine and is the same Retro Lindy style as in the Coach Sightings thread, from 1991

I don't believe it's authentic. The serial font is wrong.

And not only is the topstitching too thick, but it's really a MESS. There are stitching problems visible in all 3 photos.

For the record, that's a fairly closely and commonly faked style. (By well-faked, I mean that the bag often appears "correct" for the style.)

Anyone looking at style 9311 should verify authenticity.

Here are a couple of other examples of the bag (FAKES) with the "correct" style number but invalid prefix, font and other issues.

Thanks for pointing out the stitching Hyacinth.
It’s kinda disturbing how well-fakes some bags are.
Thanks for the pointers ladies.
At you convenience, can you look at pics in post #35084 in my quotes. Accidentally posted them on another thread. Thanks in advance. I did buy the bag.

Thought it would make a nice little summer-ish bag.

The ones with horseshoe-shaped buckles are almost always Sohos.

Thank you!
I did a quick internet search and came up with all kinds of names that instinctively seemed wrong! Like Hamilton Bucket. I was planning on searching the way back machine but as usual, was beaten to it! :biggrin:
And thanks for the comment for the buckle!

I have one of those. Did Coach use the color whiskey for the tattersall bags? I have a whiskey Ali, and tattersall's color is more reddish than it.
Click to expand...
No. Whiskey was a Legacy color. If your tattersall (Bleecker) bag is reddish, it is probably either rust or wine. Here is a photo I took of three Bleecker large flaps. Left to right, wine, rust, British tan.

Hello, all. Not interested here myself but, as an avid thread-reader, I'm assuming that the 'made in Korea' part of the patch is a no-no.

Oh no! Looks like my pics didn’t post yesterday very well.
Please authenticate if possible. Bag is already in my possession. Let me know if other photos would be helpful.
Thank you!
