Please authenticate if possible:
Seller: doingsimplysid112

Comment: serial number not shown (intentionally?) but creed font and spacing seem questionable. Handle looks wrong, stitching uneven.

It's probably fake, but I don't know if I would report it without seeing the number.

I reported it and included a link to this genuine one and explained how to compare the handle details to the fake:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-VINT...765928?hash=item3656d0e9e8:g:kiEAAOSwSZBbdZJh

Let's see if they pull it. Here's the fake top handle for posterity. The white one is real and rotated to make a comp easier:

Item: Prairie
Seller: thrift store.
Link: n/a
Comments: dimensions; 9.5" width (at widest), 6" height, 3" depth. In my excitement, I hastily purchased this. Indents on plate on underside of turn lock points to fake, unless the plate is not the original.

In my opinion the stamp looks authentic

Once again - ONLY FORUM-AUTHORIZED AUTHENTICATORS SHOULD BE GIVING "OPINIONS" OR AUTHENTICATIONS.

This has been brought to your attention once before. If the Moderators have to remove your post again, you probably won't get a third chance.

"Note: The PurseForum requests that only members with an extensive knowledge of the brand and authenticating who have over 500 posts participate as authenticators in this AT thread. The moderators reserve the right to remove authentications that do not meet these requirements."

That's not just a request, that's a Rule. Take it seriously.

Sorry, it's fake. Not just is the turnlock a problem but the way the creed and serial number are stamped is too.
 
Request for authentication. Thank you so much!

Item: Saddle Bag
Seller: Dione Bassett, Tradsey

Dione Bassett and her listings are one of the reasons why I will not be authenticating nor recommending Tradesy as a safe site to buy and sell on.

In the following post (from this past week), I griped about many Tradesy fakes that have not been removed following multiple reports.
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...oach-fakes-here.824098/page-437#post-33452360

This post from August 27 was one of the times I'd reported many listings from Dione Bassett and in fact, the seller was informed of many of the fakes.

I can't recommend the site (Tradesy) or the seller, Dione Bassett .

Thank you very much for letting me know about this seller. I appreciate it.
 
Omg. I was browsing and posting last night and saw those posts :whut: and really wanted to shoot out a warning post, erase them now! But then, he’s been told. Is English not his first language (though I know many ESLers that , well, understand English better than this individual ). I thought, here comes the cap lock key. Maybe it is a social media form of Tourette’s Syndrome??
