Hello Authenticators, could you please take a look at this for me:

Item: Regina bag
Purchased from ebay
Seller: kglamboutiques
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Coach-REGINA-Cognac-Brown-Leather-Crossbody-Top-Handle-Bag/383764297675?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

The original listing didn't have a good picture of the creed and the serial wasn't showing but I've attached a picture of the creed below (I bought this before I knew that fake vintage coach bags were a thing! :shocked: Now, I know a little better ;)).
Thank you so much in advance. All the time and knowledge you share is truly appreciated!! :smile::smile:

Welcome to TPF.

I'll reply this time but for future questions, please see the instructions and requirements posted at the top of each page for authentication requests.

I don't recommend that bag as I found the listing on Shopee. The particular location I found is Indonesian but from what I've seen on various Shopee sites - Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and others, I've rarely seen authentic items and most of the fakes are very close. Many sellers claim to have US sources though the items are definitely not coming from the US.

ONCE AGAIN - see the reply that BenenBurned already posted and follow the directions in the Read Me post at the top of each page. Even if the style exists, that does NOT prove that yours are genuine. We need clear, close up photos showing all the details listed in the Read Me post.

Your photos are much too small and do not show any of the necessary details that we need.

Get a refund if you have already bought anything. If you haven't bought or paid for them, don't.

Hello again lovely authenticators! A friend of mine got herself this bag and I’ve never seen this style before so I’m not familiar, so if someone could guide me on its authenticity, I’d appreciate it!

Item: coach barclay? Tote? Not sure the name
Listing number: can’t find
Seller and site where listed: Poshmark seller lablover18
Link: https://posh.mk/kdwPeCCvYcb

Althoughj @gomezbianca hasn't returned, I'll add this for her benefit as well as for others who might think they found a "deal."

I went back to the site and listings and what I found convinced me that even though there aren't enough pictures shown of any of the styles, the bags are without question FAKE.

After translating the site to English, I was able to read the quantity available and with 1200 of each of 6 colors, there's no way that they have authentic Coach! Coach does not allow purchases of 200 of each color!

Save your money and if you've already spent it, GET A REFUND.

I came across 70th anniversary Willis bag Style #19132 and found two different Creed patch. One specifies it's a 70th anniversary bag.


The other one doesn't say limited edition but it looks exactly the same. Do you guys know what happened..

A couple of comments:

1. Regarding creed #2 above: The creed picture you posted with the non-70th anniversary edition creed isn't the same one as is in the 2nd listing from the Japanese seller. This creed shows that it was made in June, 2012 but the Japanese seller's listing shows a creed from a bag made in August, 2012.
2. It looks like February 2012 was the last month with the 70th anniversary creed. Bags made in March 2012 and beyond have "made in China" creeds. Here's a March listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Lega...e-Tan-Leather-Shoulder-Bag-Purse/224310846615 and https://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-1913...Shoulder-Crossbody-Strap-Pockets/233817609152 )

I don't see any problem with authenticity of either (or with any that I checked).

ETA: Here's another February bag with the commemorative creed. It seems to help confirm my theory:
