True, I always have to switch to a smaller wallet when I'm using a Willis. But I love the style and shape and the crossbody strap, even if I wish Coach had made it at least an inch bigger in every dimension.

Coaches are kind of a TARDIS in reverse, always much smaller on the inside than the outside. If I have to schlep a lot of stuff, my LeSportsacs and especially Kiplings work a heckuva lot better. There are times when you just have to be practical. :graucho:

OMG [emoji23]! That's exactly how I feel about the new Parker top handles. There's useless 1/2" edges of leather everywhere and it makes that bag look spacious. But it's much smaller inside. To make things worse those corners will bend and curl and as I recall from another poster, the bottom leather has no support and sags due the weight of the contents.

It's authentic.

You can save yourself some work. If the pictures are in the listing, it's not necessary to save and add them to your post. If there are missing pictures and the seller sent you some extras, you do need to post those pics.

Sorry, thats all the Information I have. IT's a private seller: https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s...sbody-wie-neu-gelb-silber/1072722443-156-9353

That's interesting. I never saw that type of listing.

seller is Lena
Her other items: https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-bestandsliste.html?userId=20961839
The listing in question: https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s...sbody-wie-neu-gelb-silber/1072722443-156-9353

I'd like to see a better more legible picture of the creed as well as the "made in" label from inside the bag.

So far, I don't see any problems but the pictures aren't adequate.

Thanks!
What should the "Made in" label say to make the bag authentic?

It's not what it should say but the details have to be correct for the plant code (part of the creed/serial number) and for the bag. The font, material, spacing

(Fakes have made in labels too. And just because the label appears correct doesn't mean that it is correct.)

I would like help with authentication of an orange Ashley hobo listed on ebay.

I've tried looking around and don't see alot of these out there, particularly in this color.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to TPF.

The bag looks fine.

It's not necessary to repost after such a short time. Authenticators volunteer their time and expertise but have lives outside of TPF with family, jobs, obligations, etc. Sometimes it takes a while for someone who knows a style to see and respond to a post.

Also please refer to post 1, page 1 for the posting format and information we need.

The general recommendation is to bump your request after 12-24 hours if it was missed.
