Hi authenticator(s), I posted this a while ago and did not hear back from anyone. I am very sorry to be bothering you again, but I really would appreciate any help I can get here. Since I posted here, I stopped buying from Posh because I worried a lot if the items are authentic or not. This seller has been selling a lot of Coach bags. I know I'll not get a refund anymore because it's been some time already. But I would report the seller if I know she's selling fakes. Anyway, if you need any further pictures/information, I'd be most happy to provide them. I apologize in advance for asking about the same bag, and I wish you a good day!

Without being able to see the bottom of the creed patch and the serial number, we have no way to confirm where or when the bag was made. If the seller sends you a complete photo of those details you can post the photo here by clicking on the REPLY button and adding the photo. Otherwise you'll just have to go by what the seller posted, " Made in the U.S. with serial number 041-5010." There's no way we can confirm any of that without a photo.

I'm not comfortable with that creed and serial number. The X plant items from that period have a lot of differences in creeds and serials and more than their share of mistakes. This one's creed and serial don't match anything else in my files and there are too few photos of the bag itself for me to be comfortable authenticating it.

The only other possibly genuine X plant items I've seen from 1999 have been a handful of apparently genuine Stewardess Bags, all with the wrong creed description and with a different font used in the serial number. The stamping on the creed also seems problematic, like the badly squished "states" in the third line. There's just not enough there for me to authenticate. And there really aren't any helpful photos of the bag's details.

More opinions are welcome.

The first one is a genuine Crescent Bag 9235 from the 1980s, not a Saddle Bag.

The other two are genuine Sonoma Pocket Zip Natural Grain bags

Hi, on YouTube and Instagram she is purse_trippin with 25K subs on her channel. I trusted her after watching her videos for months. I paid $225+shipping. I never pegged her for a scammer, but she sure fooled me. Even called it out on the video that I bought the bag from that it was from Korea, and yes, she checked and it was authentic. Says she has worked for Coach too. If I don't hear back from her by Sunday I'm putting in a dispute with PayPal and my credit card company. Live and learn.
