Hi all!

Please authenticate, if possible, based upon the 4 photos shown in this auction. From what I can see, this appears to be style #9965, Legacy Small Flap? Yesterday I asked for a better, complete creed photo, but haven't received it yet.

seller: 2crself

Thanks much!

Sorry, I'm not comfortable authenticating it without a full creed and serial photo. Even with only a partial photo of those details and NO measurements at all to indicate what style it might be, I'm seeing a discrepancy between the serial number 070-3235 the seller quoted in the listing title and the format and wording of the creed stamp. Either the serial number is substantially different than what she claims, or it's fake. There should be a combination of letters and numbers in the serial number for it to agree with that creed wording. Also a bag that color should be recent enough to have the style number as part of the serial number. and -3235 doesn't match any bag in my files. It couldn't possibly be mistaken for -9965 either. ALL style -9965 Legacy Small Flap Bags would have had the style number in the serial number as well since the style wasn't even introduced until 1997.

Sorry. I can't recommend 2crself, especially after the responses she made to legitimate requests. (You'd think that as a 2-feedback newbie (without any feedback as a seller), she'd be more than willing to comply with requests and willing to learn how to be a good seller.)

The following are the questions asked and a the responses received by a potential buyer -- If this is "harassment," you don't want to do business with 2crself!

Oh my gosh! That's interesting because those messages to this seller are almost exactly what I also asked/stated yesterday in my messages to 2crself.

That's such a cute bag too....bummer!

answers to AUTHENTICITY questions!!!

92959 has Op Art Cs and 61900 has Signature Cs. They're 2 different styles so they have different style numbers 92959 61900 Duh! Duh x2! I never even noticed. I'll blame it on being cooped up for 2 months!

To add to what has already been said my Whateve and Hyacinth, I'll add that after looking at the seller's listings on
I'm not comfortable with the IG or the seller's other listings on other sites:

https://www.tokopedia.com/thebrandedclub

cielofficiel is on Carousell

Check out cielofficiel’s listings. View on the Carousell app or download the app now.

IMO, an honest seller wouldn't have a private IG:


Personally, I'd avoid the seller.

If you haven't purchased it, don't! The bag is fake.

But also, be warned that some of the fakes are extremely close.

Do not buy from Instagram seller thebrandedclubofficial.

We're no longer giving too much information for several reasons. One reason is that we don't want to help the counterfeiters to make better fakes although with very expensive (LV, Hermes, Chanel) items, they've been known to purchase a genuine item to copy.

Another reason I don't want to offer too much info is that often, dishonest sellers will hide, disguise or blur the telltale signs in their listings or pictures.

And a third reason I am reluctant to offer much more info is that it has come to our attention that some of what we disclose here is used in private groups, sometimes used against us and in many cases, without giving us the credit for having done the research.

What I'll say about this bag is that there's a discrepancy between the creed/serial number and the Made In tag. There's another problem with the hang tag. There are other problems too.

Rather than being careful with the seller, I wouldn't recommend buying from that seller.

When you say, "how about the factory outlet," if you go to the outlet store or to Coach's OWN outlet website, you WILL get authentic items. But be aware that there are sites that sell fakes but look a lot like Coach. Some of the sites also use Coach's stock images as their own, implying that's what you will get.

The bag is authentic and it appears to be an early version of the compact pouch. There aren't any clear pictures of the sides that show how the strap attaches.

Thank you, whateve! I am now curious to see what this bag looks like in person. I‘ll pop back in with more photos (or post in the ID thread) when I get it.
