Requesting authentication for this bag that I already bought lol

Item: Ritchie 9937
Item link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/373659341614
Seller: dobac21
Notes: I have actually bought another authenticated bag from this seller. No issues I just feel the creed is a little weird. Like the leather feels different from my green ritche but that could just be because that bags leather is more worn. Also the line under No. is longer than usual. The zipper pull is different than my other ritchie.

I have the bag now and the creed is C4E-9937. United States. If you need a better pic I can post when I get home.


Sorry, it's fake. We always need to see an actual creed and serial photo but in this case the digits in the serial are invalid for any bag made in the US. There's also at least one hardware problem with the bag, which you already noticed.

Always ask here BEFORE buying.

Sorry. I hadn't read ahead to see that Hyacinth had answered but I saved a picture of the creed. The "hyphen" between the prefix and style number looks more like an underscore than a hyphen.

I think the first is actually a slim clutch standard 9560. It's very similar to the basic bag but doesn't have rings on the sides for a strap and isn't as deep.

Item: Vintage Coach Bag Large Plaza Court Bag in Green Leather Crossbody Purse
Listing number: 1
Seller and site where listed: FeelsFree/Etsy
Link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/105587...how_sold_out_detail=1&ref=nla_listing_details
Comments: The shape seems different than the another plaza bag which is why I am questioning it. Also the leather does not feel as supple as the other that I have.
It's authentic. Is your other plaza bag the large size?
