Is this bag authentic ? Does it seem a bit pricey to you?

A seller in Australia called vintagespace. (I am in Sydney!)

Thanking you in anticipation (learning all the time from you wonderful experts)

I think they look okay too. When you get them, you can post clearer pictures if you're worried. I wonder if it has one or two rivets. That is the color I would have loved to find.

They arrived today reeking of smoke! Seller charged me an extra $5 for the "extra effort of shipping international". Perhaps I should request a partial refund for the "extra effort of deodorising" !

The Shoulder Sac has double rivets and should look great rehabbed once the stench has gone!

I can't read the creed so I can't say for sure if it is authentic. This is a design from 2012 or 2013. It retailed for $398 USD, more in Australia. The price doesn't seem out of line to me. In US ebay listings, there is only one priced lower. http://www.ebay.com/sch/Womens-Handbags-Bags-/169291/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=coach+romy&_sop=15

Smoke, that's terrible! I never remember to ask. You'd think the smell would dissipate some during the long journey. I'm looking forward to seeing them rehabbed. I love my shoulder sac. I'm trying to convince myself that one is enough.

The seller would argue that she'd addressed the smoke smell issue by stating at the bottom of the listing in the general conditions that hers was a smoker's home. Judging by the intensity of the odour, she must have packed them with a cigarette in her mouth!

This is my second Shoulder Sac. I still haven't rehabbed the first one with the single rivet that pulled through. I probably wouldn't have bought this one if it didn't come with the wallet. It's not worth shipping single items with the current exchange rate.

Comment: creed looks iffy to me

 

[JOODLZ]

Thanks for the heads up. At first I was fiddling with that little ring thinking it might be a snap attachment. I figured out it is not but it does seem a bit vulnerable.

You're welcome!

I don't see any obvious red flags either.

I didn't comment because bags of this era aren't my area of expertise but I compared to others with the same prefix.

Here's the creed in question, followed by a creeds from other bags (different styles) made in same month/year/plant.

This looks just like the one above but with different text. (I think the text is correct for the bag it's on):

Greetings and Happy New Year! (a few days behind)

I have a few GW purchases I'd like to have authenticated please. This first one I feel good enough about that I've already cleaned her up but wanted to check for sure. I did a search of the number and found one previous post but the photos had expired.

Chelsea Leather Hobo? G8D-6003
10 1/2" long x 9 3/4" tall x 4" deep (best guess with rounded edges!)
black fabric lining with Coach lozenge jacquard, Coach stamped on side buckles

Good day all! Sorry to repost but I think this one got lost at the beginning of my last group. Could you please authenticate? Thanks!
