Hello- I am looking to see if you can authenticate two listings on eBay. They are both for a Coach Pebble handbag design 58874.
#1
seriel number: A1781-58874
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-5887...-/324135496289?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292
#2
seriel number: M1681-58874
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Prai...-/143618064355?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

What has me concerned is that these bags have a line/seam down the back of it in the middle whereas others do not always have that middle seam.

All prairies that I have dont have a line like that. Could it positively be fake?

ETA — the new edition of prairie does have that seam. Check this coach official linkhttps://de.coach.com/en_DE/58874.html?dwvar_color=SV%2FSG

Prairie is originally a retail collection, but now most of it going to the outlet.. Perhaps that is the new new version of prairie, but i cant assume whether its fake or not since no details proof.

Neither listing has enough pictures or the right pictures necessary to authenticate. (See the highlighted post at the top of each page to see what we need for requests - including seller IDs.)

When comparing details, you must compare apples to apples and without the proper pictures in either the listings in question or in comps, the "apples to apples" comparison can't be confirmed.

We don't post any master list of country codes, because quite a few of them were "floaters" and were assigned temporarily to any plant that needed them. Some codes were even used by plants in 2 different countries in the same month. And most of the serial numbers that include plant codes in the number also include the name of the country where it was made right in the creed.

Ok, Thank you . I am trying to learn but find it confusing. Maybe I am just making it to hard lol.

Hi. I'm new registering but have been lurking. You guys are fantastic!

I'm asking for authentication on this bag I just bought on Poshmark.ca:

Item: I can't find the name of the bag. Serial is G04J-6446
Listing number:none
Seller: alicedickson
Link:https://poshmark.ca/listing/Coach-Large-Shoulder-Bag-5f7f5163800f642bb2e56be5
Comments:

I've been buying some Coach bags lately as I found one I absolutely loved and am now addicted. :) I actually bought this late one night without doing any research in advance, for my sister. I can't find the serial number when I Google. And there is no Coach logo on the outside of the bag.

Aaand while I’m here, could I ask for authentication on two I’m mulling over? Thanks for your help!

Item #1: Prairie
Seller: rox_kru
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224317525297
Comments: I may be making up potential issues since I’ve wanted a Mexico bag for a, but the picture editing (?) on some of the pictures makes it look very dark and shiny. I hope it hasn’t been painted, but would appreciate your thoughts with fresh eyes if you’re able to put a rehabbing hat on simultaneously!

Item #2: Prairie
Seller: doublezee
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/284151277222
Comments: I’m having a hard time making out the wording of the creed, but I appreciate y’all’s eyes are better trained than mine.

Thanks so much!

The bag is authentic. I didn't respond because I wasn't sure of what style it is.

The strap isn't from a Coach bag.
