Both of these are fake. The lined Bleecker bag and the cosmetic case are authentic.

Return the lot!

Seller Jose Manuel Marin
From the lot listing, the brown bag with the turnlock and R5G (or R56)-9988 serial number is fake.

From your pictures, the M7X-9988 is fake.

So both bags pretending to be 9988s are fake.

The other 2 are okay but this isn't a seller to do business with.

The tan bag with the R5G-9988 serial number is fake.
The black bag with the M7X-9988 serial number is fake.
Both have invalid serial numbers, and the black one also has hardware problems.

The tan bag with the tattersall lining looks genuine

CORRECTION - both the black AND tan fakes also have hardware problems.

It seems okay. There may be a small tag buried inside the inner pocket (if there is a pocket).

No Inner tag. Trying to find the name .. no luck. Any idea?

Sorry, I have no idea!

Could I get help with authentication on this bag please?

Item: Coach Willis crossbody bag
Seller and site where listed : nessathebesta / e-bay
Link:https://www.ebay.com/itm/133631710513?&ul_noapp=true&autorefresh=true
Comments: I feel safe with your expertise.
My other question is : Is it fairly safe (or safer) to shop at Etsy than e-bay or Poshmark?

It's authentic made in 1993.

Regarding safety, my opinion is that ebay is the safest, especially for buyers.

While all 3 sites (Ebay, Etsy and Poshmark) have lots of fakes, my experience is that ebay is the only site that actually responds to reports of fakes. In fact, I've seen sellers of fakes who were suspended from ebay for having too many fakes go to Poshmark and Etsy, knowing that neither site will sanction them.

For buyers, ebay is very safe!

JMHO.

If you're asking what I think you are, it was part of what was called the "Coach Classics" line, at least on Net-a-Porter's site. I seem to remember that they were chosen to introduce it in 2011.

Thank you for clarifying. I see a sold listing online that talks about Neta Porter but the creed has 9525. That is why I was initially confused. Now I understand which is which. I found some info here that discusses the difference between The Classics and the Originals. https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/the-stewardess-bag-and-the-airport-look.698048/
