Hi again! I'm hoping someone would be willing to authenticate this bag I already purchased. I didn't suspect anything until I received it.
Item: Vintage Navy Basic Bag?
Listing #: 284045758740
Seller & Site: theluxelion on eBay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/284045758740
Comments: Font in the creed and overall creed looks like my other BB. The D ring is thinner and the strap clips are lighter, smaller, and silver version of my others. The zipper pull is different (I know, I know)...it's only an added concern. The bag itself feels good, it's more the hardware. I think I did read a conversation where this has come up before but wasn't sure of the outcome. Thank you!

The bag looks fine. The zipper pull looks good. I think the strap was probably replaced and was not made by Coach. If it is truly silver, it didn't come with the bag. I'd like to see the differences if you put the clips side by side with your other strap. If the seller didn't disclose that the strap was replaced, I think you have a case for not as described.

Thank you @whateve ! I am not looking to return it (unless it were fake)...I only paid $24+SH. The zipper pull and the clasps alone wouldn't have alarmed me but in combination with the D Hooks, it did make me second guess it. I've attached comparison photos.

I don't think there is a problem with the D rings. They may have used different manufacturers. It should be solid, not have a break in it when you slide them around. The strap hardware is definitely wrong.

@whateve There isn't a break, just thinner material. Maybe they did replace the strap and the zipper and the D ring were just different as well? I've attached a creed and hangtag comparison. The leather is in good condition...maybe the original strap was just lost.

IMO, it looks like the seller purposely avoiding showing the clips on the strap.

There is nothing wrong with the creed, hangtag, zipper or zipper pull. I once priced replacing the zipper in a basic bag, and it was $135! The zipper is made of brass, which is extremely expensive now, not to mention the labor costs. The D ring is probably original. The only thing that isn't Coach is the strap.

Item: Vintage Coach A20-9791 Genuine Leather Drawstring Daypack, Backpack

I can't read the creed or the serial number at all! I'm not sure whether the seller was able to read it or if she just copied the number from another listing that looked similar.

Please request a better and more legible picture of the creed.

This made me laugh. (Pet peeve: While I appreciate good pictures, it offends to imply that I'm too dumb to look at pictures. And to describe condition as with "normal wear," that tells me nothing!)
For more details on condition of pockets, and space, please see photos. They are part of the description.
 
Hello.
I just bought a bag on Poshmark
I made a mistake of not looking up the model number on the tag that was posted before purchasing it.
The code numbers do not pull up anything similar. I searched for hours about Coach Swagger bags and still couldn’t find the wristlet model in this specific patchwork design and black color.

Can you please please help me authenticate it so I can cancel the purchase (or return right away) if it seems to be fake.

Link to the Poshmark listing:

Thank you thank you thank you!
