Comments: I have had mixed experienced purchasing on ThredUp in the past, and I just received this bag, and am suspicious of the creed number.

It's fine, made in 2005.

For future requests, include the link to the listing on whatever site it came from as well as the seller's ID. (There's no need to do it for this one.)

It's fine.
 
Ok...my 4th and final for the morning. ;)
item: station
Seller: I purchased this from shop goodwill online and I can’t find the sale anywhere in my account. I don’t remember month/year of purchase.
Comments: approximate measurements are: 8.5”x9”x2” Also, the hardware on the handle must be plated because it’s wearing off and it’s silver-toned underneath.
thank you so much x’s 4!!:hbeat:

It's genuine. Most of Coach's hardware starting in the 1980s was plated rather than solid brass. This is from the mid-80s.

The Tango Flap is genuine.

I can't see any creed photo in the lunchbox listing. Please post a clear, readable pic of the creed and serial number. Thanks!

Thank you Whateve and Hyacinth!

I took some super glue to the strap. Probably not the best idea but it seemed to reinforce it. I find it odd that there are staples at one end of the strap though.
Are you talking about the silver thing at the end of the strap shown in the listing? I just assumed the leather covering it was gone. It should be the same on the other end but there is leather covering it.
 
Although that bag is okay, herroyalshyness sold several fakes: (I didn't go through all the sold items. There may have been more.)

Caveat emptor!


Oh my gosh, I had no idea!! Thank you for the heads up!!!

Now that you show me these, and seeing that Ramblers, I have no idea how that could be fake and I recently bought a black Rambler’s legacy.
Is this one ok? :
