Thank you.. I had no doubt that the Coaches from Ebay - dalin-1 and Bonanza - Covfefe are fake but wanted a second, third or 4th set of eyes to see them.

ETA: Did you look at her other listings? She's making a fortune on these fakes!

Yes and I don't like what I see. She sold a Disney Dumbo camera bag but the Creed patch says nothing about ©️Disney. Isn't that odd? I don't have the camera bag so I can't compare the details.

I did notice that. And interestingly, I'm having trouble finding authentic items; most are from the Japanese fake ring I'd posted about.

In fact, I suspect this seller is part of that ring. I don't know whether she's really in Canada or not but the fakes are similar, the fake receipts have some of the same characteristics and the pictures are taken such that they're blurry enough to make it hard to see details but clear enough that it doesn't appear that the blurriness is intentional (though it is)!

And in fact, look at the search results for "Coach Dumbo Camera!" They're all Japanese sellers, part of the fake ring.

ETA: I found a few US sellers with Dumbo camera bags but most either don't have adequate clear pictures and/or they also don't have "Disney."

At this point, I can't recommend any!

I'm sure this is the same seller, different ID. Both from BC, Canada and same pictures and photographing style.

I think I just bought a fake vintage bag. I don't know this number and when I search, I get nothing: 0337-341 Also, a weired serial number of sorts behind the pocket. I didn't pay a lot but just the same, if it's fake I can't re-sell.

The bag is authentic (pre-1994) with a random serial number, which is why you can't find anything on it.

Thank you. Would you happen to know the style name? I purchased a few over the past few weeks intent on restoring and keeping a few and giving the rest to my daughters.
I'm not as skilled with knowing the style names as most of the other vintage fanatics but I believe it's a Whitney bag, style 4115.

Someone will correct it if I'm wrong!

The number in white behind the pocket is nothing to worry about. It was stamped on the leather by the supplier. You find these occasionally, usually on the inside of a pocket or other inconspicuous place inside the bag.
 
Dear authenticators! Request to authenticate please. Thank you!
Item: Side pack?
Seller: thrift store
Link: n/a
Comments; dimensions are about 7.5" height, 6" width, 2" depth. I had a hugely difficult time trying to get a good photo of the creed. Included here are the best 2 that I could get. I hope they are enough to authenticate. The number is B8I-9978.

Item: West End Mini Hobo 9470 (Dark Red, Released in 2000 for $228)
Seller: Salvation Army Store, $6

Comments: Please give an opinion about authenticity and if possible confirm that 9470 is the West End Haircalf Mini Hobo? If found what I think is the correct bag on the Wayback Machine but I was unable to open the listing to check the style number or dimensions. I did discover that the Medium HC West End hobo came in Dark Red and this appears to be the same color. My bag looks like the mini hobo, but I know that Coach made a lot of bags in the West End line. Thanks in advance!
