I have took the best picture I can. I can’t see a small tag in there though. Just the creed patch.
thank you for helping me. Sorry I’ve never done this before so I’m sorry for the repeat post. I got it from eBay with a small window to return it and I don’t want to keep it if it’s a fake. I wanted a small bag as my LV Montaigne MM is a little big for days out.
I hope this is a good enough photo (it took about 15 attempts )
This is the link for the bag.

thank you again for helping me.

Is it possible to either pull the lining out to get a picture or to have someone shine a flashlight if the lining doesn't pull out?

While I don't see obvious problems, the style/bag is closely faked.

Is there a link to a website or listing from which you purchased?

Hi everyone,
I just got this Winnie in the mail and am not sure if it is authentic. The style number matches, but a few things seem a little off about it (i.e. the indentations on the back of the turnlock, and the stitching is crooked compared to my other Winnie). Can anyone help me authenticate this?
Thanks!

I haven't examined the photos yet but I'm getting a 404 Page Not Found for the link. Can you double-check to be sure it's still active?

ETA - the bag itself seems ok but without measurements I'm having to guess about the style. Possibly a Dixon Mini style 4124 from the Lightweight line and made around 1992-93, check Coach's catalog description to see if the measurements match:

It's fake, the serial number prefix is also invalid. Get your money back.

Item: Coach Brown Leather Shoulder/Hand Bag FREE SHIPPING
Listing number: 264427007911

Comments: I have yearned for a Legacy Thompson bag for a long time but they don't come up as frequently as some other bags, and when they do they are always expensive. So when I saw this one, in good condition and poorly listed, I decided to make an offer and I was pleased to get it for only $40 shipped!

I hesitated to buy it because it is missing the circular gold coach medallion and the whipstitch hangtag - and I always loved those details about the Thompsons - but I decided that it was the bag that I really wanted and so I went for it!

I believe that it is a Mahogany Legacy Thompson Julia Shoulder Bag 11376. I won't ask you to confirm that or to authenticate it because there isn't a picture of the creed, but if you see any red flags that I've missed, then I'd really appreciate your input. Thank you!

I don't see any problems.

What a great find! I've always wanted one too.

Me too and I'm excited!

It's a shame about the hangtags but if you see one/both for sale please let me know!

I have received the $40 shipped Legacy Thompson Julia 11376 Mahogany Shoulder Bag and I'm crazy about it! It does have some condition issue but I think that I will be able to address them.

Now that I am able to post clear pictures of the creed I would appreciate your opinion about authenticity. Thank you

Beautiful! I have no doubt you can handle any problems.

May I ask, is it heavy?

Thank you!

Yes, it is heavy, I'd guess about 2 pounds empty. But it isn't huge, it's a nice medium-sized bag and the wide strap fits comfortably on my shoulder.

Thank you. That's what I was afraid of; 2 lbs. empty is a lot. And I don't carry a lot of stuff but that would be a deal-breaker.

That could be a problem for me too, although it is so pretty!

Dear authenticators, I am writing to have this bag authenticated, please.
Item: Ergo Bag 9033
Listing number: I have this myself. Bought at thrift store.
Seller: N/A
Link: N/A
Comments: Number D6J-9033. Measurements approx. 9” x 12” x 3 1/4”. At first, I thought that it was authentic. Then I read the Salearea guide and questioned myself because it says “United States” and it is a J plant code. I would like to see if I have learned from my professors in authentication in this forum— If it is authentic, it was made in April 1996, I believe. Please let me know if you need other pictures. Thank you in advance for your help with this.

It's fake. I hope you can return it.
