I didn't take the time to look carefully at the listing. The thing with this Florida shopgoodwill's bags, the bags are very inexpensive, however they charge a LOT of shipping. So when I've got one I wanted, I looked quickly to see if there were other bags to add to the same shipping order. This bag was $1.99 plus $4.00 handling. So, I clicked "buy" without much thought. Oh, well. Lesson learned. Take the time to really check out a bag before I buy it.


I have a feeling the store already knew it was fake, that's why it was so cheap. Other shoppers probably do the same thing you did.

It's like a non-Prime account at Amazon, you buy one or two small cheap items if you need to get up to the Free Shipping level. Before we switched to Prime we used to save half a dozen small items in our Wishlist just in case we needed to fill out an order to hit the free shipping.
 
When you have time, could I please have this 9090 authenticated before paying? I have accepted an offer.
Thank you so much for the invaluable service you provide!!! :hugs:

Hi Authenticators,
I found a couple bags at GW today and would really appreciate your expert opinion. This first one looks and feels like the red Costa Rica bag I posted a while back but I don't remember the back of the flap looking like this one. Thank you for your help.

Authentic small hippie made in 2002.

The back of the pocket is fine. They shave the nap to make it thinner and easier to sewn the pieces together.
 
Hello again Authenticators,
This is the second bag I'd like for you to check out at your convenience. For some reason I'm a magnet to burnished bags but that's ok as long as it's real. :smile: Thanks again!!!

Genuine, from the Soho Flap family and made in 2009
 
In addition to all the other completely valid proofs that it's fake, did you also point out to them that the creed clearly says "... it was handcrafted in the United States of completely natural glove tanned cowhide. The variations in the grain are characteristic of natural full grain leather."?


Were the photos available when you bought the bag? It looks like they were all posted to the listing on October 27.

It doesn't matter how cheap a "Coach" is. Have it authenticated. And read the creed.
Update on the counterfeit bag. The shop goodwill store wrote back to me and said that they would only refund me if I sent them photos that I had destroyed the bag. OK. :)
