It's good.

Thank you so much! I still haven't rehabbed the black Willis from Turkey 1999 that I posted for authentication last July - so I sure didn't need to buy another one! But how could I turn down it down when it only cost $17.50? Clearly I didn't turn it down!

Oh well, I think that this bag has traveled, I found a British Pound from 2005 inside the front pocket - so I am already getting a return on my investment - thanks again!

Hello Authenticators!



This is my first post. I would very much appreciate it if this bag could be authenticated. The seller looks like they have a separate fake in their inventory, which makes me suspicious of this one, even though it looks legit. That one appears to be missing the country of origin in its creed.
Also, is it normal for the nickel version to have a gold internal zipper? This is not the first listing I have seen with this combination.

Model: Coach Willis 9927

Size: 10x10x3

Thank you so much for your help!

Please note that we require the link to the listing. If the same photos are already on the listing page, there's no need to copy them to your post here.

We also require the name of the seller. If they have other possible fakes listed we'd like to know about it. The info we require is posted in the IMPORTANT-READ ME post at the top of each page in this forum.

A bag from 1996 shouldn't have nickel hardware. What color does the seller say it is? And if you're only going by the photos you're showing, are you sure the brass color isn't just washed out in the photos because they were taken in direct or indirect sunlight? That's been known to happen.

I can see "UNITES STATES" on the creed. It isn't very clear, but I know where to look and what to look for.

Please post back as a REPLY to your first post and include the listing URL and the seller's name. Thank you.

Here’s the link: https://etsy.me/342sbWB

The shop name is GutsyGirls.

I removed the photos I submitted, as they were redundant.

As far as the nickel versus brass coloring in sunlight, the seller states that it is nickel hardware on the outside of the bag
 
Good morning authenticators. Can someone authentic this bag for me please. Serial 0690-902 (maybe 905). Thanks

It sounds like they are implying that entrupy only verifies counterfeit materials. What makes a material counterfeit? Any counterfeiter can buy leather and hardware. They could even buy them from the same suppliers that Coach uses. It isn't until they add logos and creeds that the item becomes counterfeit.
@whateve - I agree. I might start to do some research to see how Entrupy verifies counterfeit items. It was my understanding that it was a computer app that views certain points on an item.
 
Hi Authenticators,
I think I found another nice bag. It feels softer than the Costa Rica bag I posted last week so I think it's a legit legacy made in USA but I was hoping you can confirm it here. I gave it a quick bath and some conditioner so it would look pretty for you. Lol. I hope it was worth it.
Thank you always!

Item: Coach Gray Legacy? No. E0C-9816
Local Goodwill store
Measurements: 11" H x 9 "L x 3 "D
