The creed and serial number aren't readable so I'm not comfortable authenticating.



You also need to decide if a white bag showing dirty piping and faint red stains on the bottom from a seller whose Neutral Feedbacks include comments by two different buyers like "Item was not as described. Item not shipped as promised from this seller " and "Item was very dirty, no mention of this in the description." is the kind of combination you want to risk your money on, regardless of the price.



And a part of me resents the "for that woman in your life" comment by the seller. So women aren't supposed to buy their own purses? Or does the seller think it's easier to sell a purse with possible condition issues to a man rather than a woman?



ETA - The seller's Completeds also shows a "Coach Purse H4B-0511" with a photo of a black leather tote-style handbag sold on Feb 16 of this year.

The bag is an obvious fake, the number is on the Fakes List any time it's in a handbag, and the bag has a fake Coach stamp on the front and "elephant-skin" leather. The listing was apparently removed by Ebay after the sale. Style 511 belongs to a small 9x6 inch crossbody International Travel Bag, NOT a leather tote.



The SAME fake purse was also sold two weeks earlier, on Feb 1st.



Another even MORE obvious fake, "style #12960", was sold the same day.



Do NOT buy from " donkeykong85christopher "!!!

Woah! That bag was on my watch list. Despite the "woman in your life" sexist comment. Off the list. Thanks Hyacinth!
