I reported this to ebay and they did not remove it and someone bought it. The listing uses a stock picture as the main photo and then photos of what I believe are a counterfeit bag. Thank you for your time and knowledge!

You're right. It's fake.

ETA: This listing has some interesting pictures of the actual bag. Saved for reference!

Where purchased or how obtained: on Etsy at this sellers site - https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/VeraVixeness
Comments: Hi - I purchased a vintage Coach Dinky bag from a seller on Etsy named VeraVixeness and I received the bag today. It looks nothing like the ad that was posted. Can you please tell me is this is a Dinky bag and if it is an authenticate Coach bag? Thank you.

Do you have a link to the listing you bought? I'm seeing a dinky in her sold items, described as a dinky pocket crossbody purse, and also probably a pocket purse, described as a slim cross body classic saddlebag. What you received is an authentic pocket purse made in 1998. It is not a dinky.

A huge congrats to you!! I was lucky enough to find one two months ago too but haven’t rehabbed yet. Hyacinth kindly authenticated her as well.
I’m trying to get my skills better on other bags as I’m so excited to do mine. The color shows about the same as yours.

@SuzieSueSure - Congratulations to you on your great find! Bag twins❤ I am looking forward to seeing your beauty too. Like @Hyacinth - said if those bags could talk. We can only imagine the places they have traveled. Thank you! I have received all of my supplies yet - but can't wait to see her looking good again!

The link no longer works. I am posting a photo of the link that is stored in my purchases on my account. Thank you. IMG-0115.jpg

Yes, that is a dinky. That isn't what you purchased. It looks like the seller made a mistake. Did you contact the seller? The pocket purse is bigger and has a wider removable strap.
I haven't contacted her yet to let her know. When I first made the purchase she told me that she misplaced the bag and then found it. I wanted to make sure I wasn't imaging things. I appreciate your expertise and help. Thanks!
