It's authentic. I don't see this style very often. It's a classic satchel #9880.

Thank you whateve! I really wanted that one, but hadn't seen that type of satchel before...and now it's gone...doh! I'll know, though, for next time.

In the meantime, I saw some posts about 1busymomof4. I bought a bag from her last week (original link here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251964572851?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT).

Overall, the bag seemed to be okay to me, so I went for it, even though it was more than I thought I should pay--there was the tear in one corner that was disclosed, though the wear at the other corners weren't disclosed (they're pretty close to ripping themselves).

However, she didn't disclose the schmutz that was in one of the exterior pockets--there was also a white ball of something in there, too (gum? not sure), which had caused said schmutz. Now I'm worried that the bag is fake...can you please have a look?

The bag is authentic. I believe that schmutz will come out in a bath, and I highly recommend you give it a bath. You can fix those corners too.

The bag in the listing is authentic. This style was counterfeited a lot so you should always get them authenticated.

You should read the seller's feedback to determine if you want to do business with her. There are an awful lot of negatives and neutrals, most for not accurately describing the item.

I have this bag in red and black (both authenticated) that I love. The leather is lovely. I also almost bought a blue one that was fake. I'd love to have a green one, but after reading the feedback I think I'll pass. Thanks so much for your help. I hope you are enjoying the weekend!

Yikes, did you see someone bought a monogrammed LV tote for $800.00. They must have been blind not to see it! Especially considering it ruined the bag.

Yep, I don't understand that either. How can you buy an $800 bag and NOT look over the photos with a magnifying glass? WTH did she think the letters "JE" were doing on the front of an LV??? Or did she think JE was the French abbreviation for "Special Edition"?

The seller's descriptions definitely aren't to be trusted, but I think the Coach Swingpack she got a Neutral for was genuine. I would never buy from her though.

Hello ladies,

I need your help, could you please let me know if this Bleecker Tattersall is authentic or not?

In my possession. About 12 x 8 x 2.5. Is the spacing on the creed OK? I think I remember reading that is not a problem in some cases, I want to confirm that.

Thank you so much in advance.

It's fine. The spacing on the creeds of all 3 of my Bleecker flaps is the same.

Here are all the numbers in Current and Completed, I didn't check to see if Ebay had removed any. And the more fake items reported, the better.

What a pile of crap! Coach never made any of those "styles".

Ah yes, I actually went out to buy a dish brush just for this purpose. Thank you so much, whateve! I really appreciate your input. Makes me feel much better about this bag now.

You're welcome! Be careful not to scrub too hard, you could damage the leather. Use hot, soapy water and let it soak for awhile to make it easier to remove.

Are these something the seller has home made? I see seller has a part of a keyring fob for $5. Is anything real? Seller isn't claiming authentic, maybe that's the catch?

Everything sold on Ebay or anywhere in the US MUST be authentic, that's both ebay Rules and US Federal law. Violating a company;s copyrights or trademarks is a federal offense. Even if a seller claims in a listing that the items are fakes or reproductions, they're still in violation.

ALL of that seller's junk is fake, right down to the ball chains.

And even if a seller re-makes keychains or jewelry using GENUINE Coach charms, the items can't be sold as a "Coach such-and-such" since Coach isn't the final manufacturer. That's reportable too.
