I'm not seeing a link. We need to see more pictures than just the creed. If it is on facebook, you'll need to post the pictures here.

Did you find the listing on Facebook?
Is this the seller? I see her other items but didn't find this bag.

Please request a picture of the back of the turnlock closure.

ETA: I'd be interested in seeing a picture of the creed (showing the background) inside the bag with the bag sitting on the same floor as is in the background.

Hi. Just curious on this one. I wasn’t high bidder but I’d like to know if this bag’s authentic for future reference. I’ve never seen a “Plum” Wills before. Thanks!

It's not vintage but it's authentic, one of the classic styles that were remade about 15 years ago in China and sent straight to the Outlets. The color is Aubergine and I own its twin.

I wish I owned your twin! When bidding hit over $70 + $15 shipping I got cold feet without actually seeing it & “Sold As Is”. When you see a rare color like that would you go for it?

The color differences between the photos are a problem, and I don't like the turnlock assembly, the hangtag, or the shoulder strap. I think BeenBurned is on the right track. My Spidey-Sense is tingling and not in a good way.

Since I've been retired I don't buy anything based on rarity, I buy because I like the style and the color and because the size and design work for me. And I LUUUUUUUV purple!

I have a question someone may be able to answer. It's not related to authenticity. I put in a bid on a rare Coach purse that few people seemed interested in. I used a sniping service. No one bid on it so I thought I'd won it but the message on eBay just said 'bidding has ended on this item' .The sniping service comment said 'bid rejected/blocked by seller'. I don't really know what that means. I wondered if someone had prior experience with the same issue. Thanks.

Maybe the seller had your buying ID on her Blocked Bidder list?

I wanted it because I love purple too & I love the Willis! I guess I just meant rare in the sense that I’ve never seen one that color before. I’d love your opinion if you think that would have been a lot to spend on that bag when it was sold “As Is” online & you can’t really see the details of the condition.
