Thanks, I went ahead and made an offer on the eBay listing and it was accepted. I have noticed across Posh, Etsy, and eBay listings that some Station bags have an adjustable strap and some do not. Is there a way to know which years should have which style of strap?

Rather than going through 30 years of style history and trying to find photos of every year's strap configuration, it's a lot faster just to ask for authentication of ONE bag and ask if it has the correct strap for that year. No one here has that kind of spare time.

Hi everyone,
I found this Mini Borough Bag on poshmark and was thinking about a rehab project. Would you be so kind to authenticate? Thank you very much!

Item: Coach Mini Borough Bag in warm gray leather with light blue edge paint
Listing number: ---
Seller: kaceyscloset605
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/COACH-NEW-YORK-32503-mini-Borough-Carryall-5ce433fd26219f1601ad35b9

Hi everyone,
maybe this one got lost.
Whateve suggested to have this bag authenticated before discussing rehab options:



Comments: The seller added 2 additional pictures on my request. One of them shows the complete creed and serial number.

I'm sorry but I don't authenticate (or recommend) Poshmark so I haven't responded. (Maybe someone else might reply.)

What I did notice about the listing is that the seller describes the bag as style 32503 but the creed shows style 30984.

Although I believe that the styles are similar, I don't know what the difference is and I don't know why the seller uses and where she got a different style number than that on the creed.

Again, perhaps someone else knows the bag and will authenticate a PM listing.

Sorry.

Hi there! I found this Lexinton Briefcase (?) and before I accept the counter offer, want someone to take a look at it. Is it possible to tell me if it's authentic or not from the few photos and creed picture she has in the listing? TIA.

It's genuine.

Too bad someone who only wants serious buyers can't be a serious seller and actually take the time to figure out the name of what s/he's actually selling.

It looks fine.

Sellers who don't know the styles often use whatever names they find in other listings for bags that may look similar to what they have.

Yes, that was a rhetorical question/comment on my part.

But how does anyone think that a Lexington Briefcase looks like a Willis or a Station Bag? How does someone think that a 16-inch wide briefcase is the same as a 9 or 10-inch wide handbag?

Although considering the state the world is in these days, maybe this is just the New Reality.

Thank you BeenBurned! I forgot that Poshmark is not the best place to shop for bags - I'm in Austria, so I don't know much about how reliable different US websites are. Thank you for pointing this out! Hopefully I'll find a similar bag somewhere else. Even though the seller seems quite nice and has added additional photos on my request.

Dear authenticator, please kindly authenticate this Ali flap purchased from eBay. I was very disappointed upon receiving， the damage at strap was not disclosed in the listing. However the seller quickly refunded me, and told me to keep the bag, they can't get a return label for me, I am in Canada.
Now I am not sure if the bag is even authentic, real Coach bag should not be damaged so easily. If it indeed is Authentic then I would like to pay back the seller maybe half the cost, and try to have the bag repaired somehow.
Thank you very much.
Measurement approximately. 13" wideth* 5.5"depth* 10"height when stuffed .

I understand and I framed my question as to whether it was even possible for someone to know. I'm brand new to the forum and it appears that there are some people here who are extremely knowledgable about Coach practices, so it was just a question and someone may have known. I did have an authentication request for specific links completed yesterday. I assume they looked the photos over well and made a judgement on all the bag features.
