JMHO, but I think some sellers' laziness cost them sales when they aren't willing to take the time to get it right.
Couldn't agree more! I see this happen so often. Not just with bags. On the Internet, the only thing you have to go on is the pictures. You can't handle the item or try it on like you would in a brick-and-mortar store. So it makes sense to take your time and take the best pictures you can if you want your item to sell. It really isn't a problem these days when even a $200 smartphone has a pretty capable camera.

Hello I hope I am doing this correctly I have just joined and am trying to authenticate this recent purchase vintage Coach suspender I believe but the metal tag is putting me off authenticity. If anybody has info on this that would be great Thanks

Welcome!

Is there a listing/link/seller ID?
kimfuentes
Please post a link to the seller and listing. There are too may kimfuentes to go through:

Never mind. I found her.

Seller kimfuentes

This seller has several fakes, some sold, some still active.

Please wait for other opinions but I don't believe that the bag you received is authentic.

Hi again,
Hoping again I’m doing this right!
I purchased this bag but I’m unable to find another with this strange (non buckled, sewn on) strap. Looks pre+94 from the creed link but doesn’t go with any photos I can find, even trying really early duffle bags. Hoping it’s not a fake!
if she’s real, I’m gonna have to figure out how to fix the fading (rehab forum!)
Thanks for putting up with this “old lady’s“ dinosaur computer skills!

Regarding your comment, "Thanks for putting up with this “old lady’s“ dinosaur computer skills!," since bags are "vintage" at just 20 years old (and that's now bags made in 2000!), we're all dinosaurs!
