Good morning Authenticators. Well, I took a gamble and bought this before authenticating....
*whispering*.. It was the cocktail that made me do it.

Item: Stewardess
Seller: Facebook marketplace/ Aria Faith
Link: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/525914791804923/

The Stewardess came in bone/chalk/whathaveyou white??? She needs some love I know.

She needs a lot more than love. :sad:

"S6B-" is what I'm seeing as the serial number prefix, and "S" is NEVER a valid month code. There's one reference from 2014 in the Hall Of Shame about another fake with an S6B- prefix. Coach serial prefixes, even when mistakenly using the "N" month code, will never have a month code using anything past "N". "M" is actually the last "official" code.

That's the second fake white "Stewardess" we've seen in the last 3 or 4 weeks. I wouldn't recommend buying any example in that color without an extremely thorough authentication. Get your money back if you've already paid..

Here's the other one with a different serial number, looks like a J8H- prefix.

Thank you for always willing to patiently teach. Thank you Hyacinth! It's pending and can be cancelled. Thanks!

Another "FAKE" from me too.

And if you're "KIEFS41", what the seller guarantees doesn't mean diddly-squat. Calling a pig a unicorn doesn't make it one. It has several MAJOR red flags including an always-fake and invalid serial number.

Yes, that was me-- thank you for taking the time to help everyone with these listings. The seller was (luckily for me) quick to cancel.
