Item: Bucket Deep Red Leather Cross Body Bag
Listing number: 29122378
Seller and site where listed Tradesy
Link: https://www.tradesy.com/i/coach-bucket-deep-red-leather-cross-body-bag/29122378/
Comments: List description style no. 9816 but the picture showed No. GOP -9060

Thank you so much!

It's authentic. This is the larger version of the slim duffle. The style number 9816 is the medium size. The seller has the measurements of the medium in the listing so those are wrong. Also double check on the color of the hardware. It looks brass to me. I think the seller copied the description off another listing without making sure it applied to her bag.

Dear authenticators,

My sister bought this and received the bag but I believe it’s a fake. Could you please check it out. The zipper pull looks odd and the creed looks a bit weird to me.

You are right. I believe it is fake too. I've seen this exact creed before. As far as I know, Q was never used as a plant code for the US. Any time you see mismatched hardware - as in the grommets being a different color metal than the buckles, you should be suspicious. Good luck in getting Posh to accept the return.

Thank you so much. Glad you pointed out the size difference.

Hi Authenticators,
I think this is a very poorly made fake. Please kindly take a look at it, thanks.

Surprise! Surprise! Another "posh ambassador" with a fake.

I wish we had an eyeroll gif or emoji.

Being a posh ambassador has nothing to do with being trustworthy. It just means you have reached a minimum number of listings, sales and shares.

You're right about the "Q" plant code, it was only used by a Chinese plant and only between 2003 and 2006 according to my current records.

Hi Authenticators!
Thank you so much for saving me from losing money on a fake Coach bag the other day!!

Today, I wanted to get your expert opinions on my duffle sacs I acquired over the years. They are two identical bags in the same color. I want to sell one of them and want to make sure I'm not selling a fake! Please also advise me on the years that these bags are manufactured. I want to keep the older one

Item: Duffle sac 9085
Where obtained: flea market/ local consignment store

The Salearea Guides posted here and Pinned to the top section of this forum explain how to analyze and date the serial numbers in genuine Coaches. Check the threads on Creeds and on Serial Numbers.

SaleArea guides

Now that ebay is removing the guides they've been hosting for years, those who use those guides have been forced to either save them on their computers or print them. Tonight I found that the Salearea guides (including the Hyacinth/Salearea collaboration ones) have been saved to Salearea's...

Thank you for getting back to me so soon. The bidding was too rich for me so I had to let that one go. Beautiful bag.
