Hello, Would you please authenticate this pouch I found on Ebay from seller Jerseygirl2009. I am curious to know if Coach made makeup bags without the blue and white fabric that I am familiar with or if someone removed the fabric if it indeed is authentic. Thank you. https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-CO...410778?hash=item2f49e81a5a:g:0iIAAOSwyN5fW9sT

Hello again. Would you please authenticate this item sold on Ebay by seller 2bluethumbs. She describes it as made in the original Coach factory, is that true? I will make sure to check back here more frequently as someone keeps purchasing the items I request to authenticate before I can confirm.

It's fake.

Thank you. It seems like Ebay has more fake than real. How about this bag from seller shoppabbygirl also on Ebay? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Co...160321?hash=item1cf443ad81:g:dBkAAOSw7flerKq0

I would never use price to determine authenticity. I am reluctant to point out the flaws as that just helps the counterfeiters.

I'm not seeing a link for the listing by 2bluethumbs. Unless the item is pre-creed or has a NYC creed, I wouldn't trust a seller to know that it was made in the original Coach factory.

The bag listed by shoppabbygirl is an authentic basic bag.

You didn't show a link to the listing from 2bluethumbs.

The one from shopabbygirl is an authentic basic bag, style 9455.

Thank you for the heads up. I am surprised Ebay is allowing her to operate still. I have only been learning and collecting vintage Coach since last spring so i dont know, but can't someone with such a negative selling history be banned indefinitely for that?

Woops, Here is the link for 2bluethumbs. Is this pouch dyed red? https://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-VINT...SE-BLACK-INTERIOR-REHABBED-CLEAN/233410795174

Did the seller dye it this with something? When they say "rehab" does that mean they may polish it with something or am I misunderstanding. Because it is really bright.

OMG, I am so confused with the format of this forum but I am getting the hang of it, so now I know it is a real one. Thanks!
