No need to apologise. It's much easier for everyone when we can just go to a link at Ebay or most other selling sites. Ebay usually keeps a completed or sold listing available for about 90 days.

The bag is a genuine Poppy but I'm not sure of the exact name. All too often many or all of the sellers get the name wrong or don't remember it once the bag has been used and the original tag is gone, so all I can say is that sellers on Ebay are calling it a Poppy Camelia or a Poppy Pushlock Tote or some combination of the two. Yours was made in 2012.

Thank you again Hyacinth.
 
Item:Coach Space Dinky

Comments: wanted to get another set of eyes on this. I know it’s a hard bag to find but also ones that were counterfeited a bunch too. Thanks for any insight you have on this :smile:
Wait for @BeenBurned, she's the expert on those styles.

But I'd be concerned, the only ones I can find are from Chinese or Malaysian sites which is where the fakes seem to show up the most. And there's no way I would take a chance, ESPECIALLY at that price. We're not supposed to comment on prices, so I won't. BUT ... wow.
The Nasa items are/are highly faked and I'd be very wary. I'm not seeing the obvious problems I've seen with the patches on the fake Nasa wallet but I haven't seen a known authentic version of the dinky and I'm not sure what to look for. There are some areas of sloppy stitching that seem off but again, I'm not sure what to look for.

Personally, I'd probably not buy it.

I'd like a second opinion from @houseof999
 
Can you tell me if this bag is real or not?!

I got curious so I googled the style number & found a listing that still had the original price tag attached. It says “POP LTH PSHLK NS TOTE”. So I guess it’s a poppy leather push lock tote! Although I have no idea what NS stands for lol
Thanks! Just another one of Coach's many mysteries. :giggle:
NS stands for North South, meaning it is longer up and down than side to side.

NS = north south. (North south bags are taller than they are wide.

EW = east west (longer measurement is side to side.)


ETA: Oops, I was beaten again by the faster fingers of @whateve. :)
