I can't see the full listing and pictures without opening an account, something I refuse to do on Vinted or any other site that requires it!

Please upload pictures.

I hate it when websites do that too, so invasive!

Would love an opinion on this one! My moms friend gave this to me, she thrifted it years ago. I’ve never had a pre creed bag so this is exciting (if real). It measures approximately 9x10x3”, in the middle where it’s shorter the height is 8”. Would this be Bonnie Cashin era or a Cashin style? Still learning, I’m so addicted haha. TIA for your time!!

It's authentic, made during the time Bonnie Cashin was at Coach, probably early 70s. I don't know if she had a hand in its design. It's probably style #9205 saddle bag small.

Got another one for you ladies, you’re so tremendously helpful! This is my moms bag. I thought it was the Sullivan 9910, but it’s huge! The measurements are off and I’m questioning it?

Hi, is anyone able to help with this bag? I purchased on eBay a couple of years back and had no reason to doubt authenticity but my new buyer is asking about authentication before it was about to be shipped. Many thanks in advance!!

Item: Coach Pebble Swagger
Where purchased or how obtained: off eBay a couple of years back
Comments: the measurements are as follows:-

widest point at top 16 inches
narrowest at base 12 inches wide
9 inches tall

Please don't take it personally @emilylia because it's not you. I don't authenticate that seller either.

If you search the seller's ID and history, you'll see that it's not just 1 fake that upsets us but rather, her previous posting history here, her alleged participation in several private facebook and social media groups that take great pride and joy in attacking TPF and its members and her association with other people who take even greater happiness in denigrating us.

In fact, this is a post from just a week ago about a fake she has listed. Although it's known that they read TPF and comment on what is posted (among their private groupies), the fake is still listed, potentially waiting for a buyer to be ripped off by the $165 fake.

Hi, Hoping someone can weigh in with an opinion. Is this authentic? I really appreciate your time.

In case you haven't already read all the links that BeenBurned posted from the Search for that seller's name, Lorac2015 , I'll post the one below specifically because it expands on my reasons for not authenticating items from that seller.

Not only has she posted multiple derogatory and obscene comments about tPF as well as me and other tPF members mostly on Private Facebook sites that have on occasion been opened to the public along with those disgusting posts, but she's also been reported to have engaged in actions against other tPF members that would have gotten her suspended from any legitimate selling site (such as Ebay) that cares about protecting their members not just from fakes but also from harassment or auction interference by other members.

Anyone who does that to anyone else just because of a site they belong to doesn't deserve ANY kind of approval, even if it's just confirmation of authenticity for one of their items. If someone wants to take pot shots at me, go right ahead, I consider the source and take it as a compliment. But trying to damage another seller's business for no valid reason, however twisted it might be, is disgusting and not to be tolerated, at least not by me.
