They all look ok. The second bag is from the Soho Twill Stripe line from Spring 2004 but I'm still trying to find a style number. I'll add to this post once I get numbers for the Swingpack and the keychain. And yes, the Daisy came as standard bling with most of the Soho Twill and Twill Stripe items that season.

ETA - Sorry, no luck finding a number for the Swingpack. The keychain is a Pave Multicharm Keyfob, style 1653

Thanks again for your time & efforts!

Both are authentic.

ETA: Keychain is 1653.

Thanks, BeenBurned!

Is an update from me okay? :smile1:

Always :)

I bought a bag once just to get that daisy hangtag!

LOL...I don't often find keyfobs or other bling in my local GW's, so I happily grabbed both of these. Found a match for the Pave Multicharm one on Poshmark offered at $49 (50% off $98)...really?

I absolutey GUARANTEE that keychain was NEVER 98 dollars! THIRTY-eight maybe. Jeez, some sellers are really idiots - or think their buyers are.

When I have a few minutes I'll try to find it in one of my catalogs.

ETA - I was a little low - $58 in the Holiday 2004 catalog. Similar keychains without any pave charms like 1628 sold for around $38.

LOL...I thought that price was crazy too!!! Thanks so much for the additional info.
 
Can someone look at this? It just looks off to me. Especially the picture of the lining, and perhaps it is just that person's camera, but when you look at the lining at the coach website it definitely look more textured while this one looks smooth or cheaper looking:

Seller ronaldb4415

I'm not comfortable for a few reasons.

This is a brand new sellers who suddenly has many expensive bags without as detailed pictures as I'd like to see as well as different backgrounds. Although I don't think it's necessarily a case of stolen pictures, it's odd that there are so many listings with pictures taken in different places.

Additionally, ronaldb4415 (from Flushing, NY) appears to have multiple IDs selling multiples of similar items.

This seller, carry55915 (also with 1 feedback but from NJ) has a listing with the same background as another of ronaldb4415 's listings.

Notice also the similar numbers in their IDs.

Listing from carry55915:

Listing from ronaldb4415:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Swagg...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Compare the pictures:

Being sold by carry55915:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Swagg...529?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25a763c8f1

Personally, I'd avoid both of these sellers' listings as well as other similar items from the same area of the country. JMHO but something seems off to me.


ETA: I think there are other sellers. Most of these listings are similar listings and descriptions and state that items were purchased by them at retail stores.

Seller erick.gabri (also from New Jersey)
http://www.ebay.com/sch/erick.gabri..._DefaultDomain_0&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

Seller hodges758 (From NJ)
http://www.ebay.com/sch/hodges758/m..._DefaultDomain_0&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

SEller goodwin485 (this one is from CA but I'd avoid)
http://www.ebay.com/sch/goodwin485/..._DefaultDomain_0&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

I'M SEEING HUGE RED FLAGS HERE!

Hi - Hoping to get an OKAY for these two Willis bags in my possession ;)
Also, what color would this BLUE have been, maybe denim blue?
(the first one is black)
I don't have any references to colors in this time period.
Thank you!!http://forum.purseblog.com//www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/

They both look ok.

I've never seen a price tag showing the color name for the one from 2004. I think they made those just for the outlets since I don't remember ever seeing that color on the website. It's usually been called Denim or Federal Blue by its sellers though. I actually have one in that color but bought it used, so no price tag or color name. :shrugs:

Okay, thanks.
I've seen some colors called "glacier" which looks lighter,
and also "INK" but I don't know what that might be.
