Thanks so much!
#1 and #3 are fine.

I can't read the creed or serial number of the "Court" bag. I can't tell if there's a mistake or a problem.

Please request a clearer and more legible picture of the creed.

Be sure to include seller's ID in requests. Sometimes once a listing ends, a completely different listing comes up and we need to know we're looking at the right listing.

Again, there aren't enough of the right pictures. Refer to my posts from the other night:

Item: red and white vintage Coach crossbody
Seller: thebluellama

Comment: I am not comfortable with the shape of the o in No. Is this normal for this style?
Look how squished the "Coach" name is and how close the 0 (year) is to the M.

I'm sure it's fake.

Can you request a picture of the back of the female side of the turnlock to clinch it?

I'm not comfortable with the Coach logo either, the font looks "off". I only have one other 2000 "M" code set of photos in my files, for a 9135 Hippie Flap Bag, and it's been wearing a "Questionable" title since I first saved it. The Court Spectator logo looks even wonkier.

Give me a few minutes to get the photos up and then we'll throw it up for grabs. If it was just up to me I probably woulden't report it but I wouldn't buy it either. And it would be nice to have a few photos of details like the back of the turnlock. The bright red fabric backing on the inside zipper is a bit odd too.

Other opinions are welcome, photos coming up in a few minutes

Seller uploaded the photo of the back of the oval piece. It's not good. There are indentations under the prongs.

Then I don't need to post pics. But I'll do the creed pics anyway just in case anyone wants them.

ASSUME ALL THESE "*0M-" SERIAL PREFIXES ARE FAKES

The barely-visible end of the strap that goes through the buckle on the fake looks like it's square, not round. Here's a real one:


And another fake:

The more you look, the more little problems you find.

Thank you! Did it ever come in red? I have seen black and green with Tabac trim, camel and navy with white trim but I have not seen red with white before. Does a genuine version exist in red?
