I picked this up in a thrift shop. I own one 70th anniversary Willis reissue bag in citron, and this looks fairly authentic to me. It was hard getting a good shot of the creed/serial number due to shine. The hardware seems to be worn in some places, and the inside is filthy...not sure how well it will clean up. I doubt (if it's authentic) my retail store will clean it for me as they do my other bags.
Any authentication and/or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!
It is authentic. I wonder what the previous owner used it for - gardening? I would scrub that lining with soap and water.

It's authentic. Ink usually doesn't clean off. Sometimes you can make it worse by trying to remove it. You can give this bag a bath in warm soapy water. Soaking should help the strap. After you remove from the bath and rinse, you can dry the strap stretched out and weighted down so it dries flat. We have a rehab club full of pointers. https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/coach-rehab-and-rescue-club.833400/

Thank you so much for the authentication and for the link and information! I'm looking forward to learning more. Thanks for the work ya'll do here.

Not even close, where did you hear that name? It was called a Crosby Bag, made in the early 1990s. And it's not a Court Bag, The lock was called a Springlock. Click on the thumbnail to enlarge..

Hi authenticators, I bought this fake (?) Court on a cheap last minute auction. No time to authenticate before-hand so I took the risk:

Item: fake court C4T 9870
Seller: opentosell
Link: ebay item number 233420591031
Comments: C4T is a fake serial number? There was a regina here that had same number and was fake. Indented turnlock.
There was no creed shot with this listing but the whole thing was poorly listed so I had hoped to get lucky.

Definitely fake. Get your money back.

Yes, it's fake. Here is the link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Purs...=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
 
Hello! Looking at maybe getting this for myself for Chrismukkah, but wanted to run it by some folks with more knowledge and a better eye. I appreciate your time!

Item: “Coach hobo crossbody or shoulder bag”
Listing number:
Seller: bentlerj / Jayne B
Link: https://posh.mk/zmgxC6Mtv2
Comments:

One of my very favorite "modern" lines of Coach bags, Kristin. This one is style 19314, Kristin Woven Leather Hobo, made in 2012. Very soft lightweight leather and a great color called Denim. I own 6 or 7 Kristin bags and love every one of them. This one is definitely genuine.

Thanks Hyacinth and whateve. I appreciate you both taking the time to look at this bag.
The good news is that with 83% feedback (before you leave feedback!), opentosell's ebay selling career may be shortlived.
