Hmm. I agree that the one removed seems okay however, maybe they intended to remove this one instead:

ETA: I think I figured out why the listing was removed. If the title was the same as the original listing, the seller incorrectly copied the serial number in the title and if someone thought the bag had an invalid serial number, they may have reported as fake.
Coach White Pebbled 6M-4919 Cross Body Handbag/Purse

That's my assumption as well. Someone saw that serial number and reported it.

I thought that it was possibly missing the first digit, the month code. I can't see it.

It could be missing. That's why I asked for a close up. Still no reply.

It would still be authentic even if that digit was missing. Mistakes like that could happen.

That's why I was watching! I find those little mistakes.. interesting and collectible! Besides that I have been very drawn to white bags lately though I haven't been buying any!

I think that style would be cute in white and probably not that hard to keep clean. It's just so hard to tell condition on white bags since not everything shows in photos, especially with flash.

Hi all!
Please authenticate this bag. I don't recognize this style, the flap, etc. No creed photos.
FYI, I researched the seller on tpf and well...yikes.

We've seen a few of those mid-1990s bags with a missing digit, as well as a lot of other bags, mostly Sonomas, with mixed-up digits in the serial prefixes. I just can't believe anyone would be stupid enough to report it based only on what the seller SAID the serial number was.


Nooooo, on second thought, I can think of maybe one person.

Thank you.

I wouldn't buy or recommend that anyone else buy from ANY seller who didn't show a clear readable photo of the creed and serial number, but especially not from a seller who's already had at least 2 or 3 fakes removed by Ebay and apparently still hasn't learned what buyers need to see.There's NOTHING in those photos that's helpful at all in figuring out if it's authentic and the buyer's record here doesn't help.

ETA - And did you notice that the front of the bag is 2 different shades of green? The seller claims
"The leather shows natural tonal variation which just adds to its vintage appearance."
That's a crock of bull-poop.

It looks okay.

Thank you! I love the black one I have and am toying with the idea of a brown one.

Can someone please authenticate this “coach rambler”? I can’t find a made-in tag, not sure if it has one. If I need more pics, please let me know! Thank you in advance!

It's genuine, from 2000 and it's a Rambler's Legacy,. not a Rambler. There's no reason why it would have a "Made In" tag, classic and vintage styles said where they were made right on the creed stamp
