Item: Stewardess bag
Listing number: 333821332622

Before buying a bag from station_85 ( station 85 ), I recommend you check the feedback. Although we no longer have Toolhaus and the ability to isolate neutral and negative feedback, the seller has a long history of problems.
1. Seller knows what pictures are needed for proving authenticity but often omits required pictures.
2. Seller has a long history of selling items that are in MUCH worse condition than shown or described
3. Seller doesn't verify authenticity and sells fakes (whether aware or not that items are fake)

With that said, the bag in question is authentic. Just be aware that the condition may not be as good as described.

I was looking on ebay for some vintage bags and noticed a bag with a creed that looks strange. I am not an authenticator, but I thought we could check the bag's authenticity.

Item: Navy blue Rambler
Listing number: 363086923436
Seller and site where listed: wiwat-53 on ebay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Co...ag-Navy-Blue-Rambler-Cashin-USA/363086923436?

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the creed. The only problems are that it's a City Bag, NOT a Rambler, and that is has no connection whatsoever to Bonnie Cashin.

ETA - Just my own personal opinion, but I have no use for sellers who can't bother to do a few minutes of research and don't even try to get the name of the style right. If someone's going to sell, they could at least make an attempt to find the correct name of the item they're selling.

Rant over.

Hello Ladies,

I‘d value your opinion on this bag. I asked the seller if I could see the creed for this bag and was told it was a 0000-0000 ‘Sample’. Given earlier feedback from yourselves on a bag I had with such a creed, I was wondering whether this bag could be authenticated at all.

Seller: izato-88
Ebay Listing Number: 143883138930
Ebay Listing Link: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Coach-Sh...bag/143883138930?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144
Comments: I see previous negative feedback for a fake item.

MTIA, and stay safe

I have a few comments.

Without a picture of the creed, we can't make a credible comment on authenticity but even knowing that the bag has a "supposed" same serial number, I recommend against buying it. (And why wouldn't the seller SHOW you a picture of the creed?!?)

Considering the lack of the creed photo (and any other definitive pictures), the seller's description of the serial number and the seller's 97% feedback which includes a "fake" allegation, izato-88 isn't a seller I recommend.

In general, a good rule of thumb (even with a great seller) is to avoid listings with sample creeds/serial numbers as they cannot be authenticated.
