The bag you've asked about is authentic.

This one from the same seller is NOT:

Vintage COACH brown leather shoulder bag made in the United States for sale | eBay

Find great deals on eBay for Vintage COACH brown leather shoulder bag made in the United States. Shop with confidence.

www.ebay.ca

ETA: Nor is this one:

Vintage COACH brown leather station bag/shoulder bag made in the United States | eBay

The inside is unlined suede with a leather zipper pocket on which the COACH logo is embossed. A turn lock to close. A classic!

Thank you so much for the quick reply, @BeenBurned! I received a special offer for the 9966, have already committed to purchase, but not paid for it.

How should I proceed with the other 2 bags? Should I advise the seller they are NOT authentic and supply the seller with the evidence of how that was determined? Or, do I report to Ebay? Is proof of inauthenticity required?

Many thanks for your invaluable help!!!

You're welcome.

Had you planned to buy those other 2 bags from jmjewels? If so, certainly let her know that you have no intention of purchasing counterfeit items (as they are) and if necessary, refer the seller here. If you interested in them, you can decide how to proceed. Some sellers are appreciative of advice and others get nasty and defensive. (If someone was kind enough to let me know if I mistakenly listed a fake, I'd be forever grateful that they helped me protect my account.)

Without a creed picture, it can't be authenticated. A picture of the back of the female side of the turnlock (back of flap) would be nice too.

Many thanks, BB! No, I had not intended to buy the other 2 bags. I am only interested in the 9966. I will refer the seller here by supplying a link to this thread. You have been enormously helpful!

It looks fine.

And now for my editorial comment:
Why Coach has to re-use style numbers when there are literally infinite numbers to use is beyond me!

This keyring, style 1631 has the same style number as this enameled strawberry keychain. How confusing is that?


Another comment:
I wish the seller would use his/her own pictures in every listing. There's no need to use Coach's copyrighted stock images.

The seller updated the listing so the creed is on photo 12. And because eBay limits to a max of 12, this is the female side of the turnlock.

It's authentic.

ETA: It's not 9960 as it says in the title. It is the slightly bigger 9791.

I realized the seller named it wrong because of the zipper style on the back and style number. I've been looking for British tan in both styles so this is great. Thanks so much!

You had posted on another thread and I responded thinking it was on this authentication one.

The bag is fake. Here's my post followed by a couple more of my posts telling what I think you should do.

Hi beenburbed, thank you,I tried to copy the links from the Facebook group but it wouldn't let me (maybe because its a private group??) , and the listing on the group is now gone, I appreciate your help immensely, I was able to talk to the seller, and she accepted the return , I have been refunded. Thank you thank you again .

 

[Jacynthe]

It's fine.
