Good morning! Can you please authenticate the following item? There is no creed in the listing so I’ve attached separately. One image is adjusted for clarity and I think the creed is B8U-9930. Did Coach have a plant in Hungary?

Link is shortened as it was stuuuuupidly long! Thank you!

Hi, me again. Please let me know if there's limitation as to how often I can post. I am a new member and want to be respectful of this space and its rules.

I have collected so many Coach bags (over 50+) over the years and would be helpful to get your expertise in clarifying its authenticity. I would of course not going to post each one of them but have a few that I would like your insights.

That said, pls forgive me for posting another which has been in question for sometime.
(I did do my HW and read Hyacinth's guide to Coach. I don't think this serial did match any of the fakes mentioned.)

Thank you on advance for your time.

Item: TWO items, Pocket purse 9755 and a purse
Listing number: NA (I bought it off another ebay account that I had years ago so no access)
Seller and site where listed: ebay about 6/7 years ago
Comments: It was sold as a set with the coin purse pictured

Both pieces are good.

The bag is a pocket purse made in 2000.

The key case coin purse is style 7219.

The bag in question is fine but there's a history on the seller, shop4you!. (This is why we need seller IDs in posts! It makes the seller searchable.)

Thank you, BeenBurned. I was rattled by my purchase of a fake bag and forgot to identify the seller. I apologize.

There's nothing to lose by trying. And the fact that the listing (along with 2 others) was removed as fake can't hurt.

Before opening a SNAD dispute, contact ne.vtg.finds and try to work it out without a dispute. (If the seller is smart, she'll just tell you to dispose of the bag and issue a full refund. It's a waste of money for her to pay return shipping for an item that's illegal to resell.)

Then, if the seller refuses, open a dispute.

Refer her here if necessary.

The seller accepted a return and is aware of having to pay for return shipping (around $33 US). I wonder whether he/she is planning to resell it, despite its being fake.
Of course, since I started to remove the shoe polish I can’t return it as it isn’t in its original condition. My lesson learned: DO NOT BUY COACH BAGS WITHOUT HAVING THEM AUTHENTICATED HERE. Is there any reason why I should not leave negative feedback?

Since she accepted the return, I'd still return it. JMHO but she still sold a fake without checking to verify whether it was genuine. You could justify that you "improved" her fake!

Then watch her listings to see if it's relisted.

You should be able to leave feedback but I'd recommend holding off until you return it and get a refund. If you decide not to return anyway and eat the loss (even after referring her here to see the recommendations), then yes, you can leave feedback.

In my opinion, it's nuts that she's willing to spend $33 to get the fake back!

It's an authentic Willis. You can find sellers with straps on ebay or other online sites.
