Oh gosh I found the biggest bag I love! The Bleecker Elisa! That thing is humongous and I can wear it like a top in front of me!

The Bleecker Large Duffle is magnificent too. I have one I want to sell, it's way too big for me! I could probably fit half my entire purse collection in that one bag.

Hello all, I'm new here and was hoping I could get this bag authenticated whenever anyone has time. I think I took all the necessary pics but if anyone needs more just let me know.

Item: Station bag
Where purchased or how obtained: Bought off of Mercari from the seller asdmom2
Comments: I tried really hard to get a clear pic of the serial number but it's very faded including the 'No'. But I believe it says 0428-148. I included multiple pics of the creed/number because of this issue.
Measurements: L: 9.5" W: 9" D: 2"

It's a genuine 5130 Station Bag made in the late 1980s.

@BeenBurned this looks suspicious to me. Can you get your opinion on this please?

The Bleecker looks HEAVY. Gorgeous but heavy. I went through neck and shoulder problems 20 years ago with heavy bags and it was no fun.

It's those brass rings on the strap that makes them so heavy! If it didn't have those it wouldn't be so heavy but also will probably lose most of it's appeal.

I'll have to do more study on the Coach bag in question from Bank but after looking at her other listing, I don't recommend.

Fake Hermes wallet sold for $24 without use of brand name:

I searched and couldn't find many pics of an authentic one. I may have to look harder. All the pics I found are carousel and shopee pics which also questionable and not trustworthy.

That's what I found too. I found the stock image on the Taiwanese Coach website but the page wasn't viewable.

On Bank's bag, the stitching is a mess in several places and the sealant around the edges of the creed patch looks sloppy.

Yes I found the same ones as you. The quality of those stitches are terrible! I can't believe it was verified authentic by Mercari. Is there a Troupe clubhouse? I didn't find one yet.

Thank you for the confirmation! Mercari verification is an official joke. I already knew they are terrible at authenticating vintage Coach and now this confirms they don't know ****e about newer Coach either! SMH. Someone's gonna buy that wretched replica for over $400 because they verified it authentic.

I reported. It seems that if more than one report comes in, they pull the listing for verification (supposedly).

We'll see! Did you see the description? It's a "Rear" find! Of course it is "rear" because it was probably found in the back alley somewhere.

Or because it's an ugly-a$$ fake!
