NT-4903 is always fake, and was the very first fake number in Daria48's Fake Numbers List when she created it and posted it at Ebay 15 years ago. That List is still available here at tPF and Searching using tPF's Search feature for "coach NT 4903" will bring up 19 pages of posts going back to 2006 mentioning that number. ANY TIME YOU FIND THAT NUMBER IN AN ITEM FOR SALE, YOU CAN POST THE LISTING RIGHT AT THE COACH HALL OF SHAME thread, it doesn't have to be verified here. Unfortunately you found it in an Etsy listing and they might not be as quick as Ebay to remove even such and obvious and frequently-confirmed fake.

@Hyacinth I was just reading your excellent Italian coach guide above and I have a question. I am currently rehabbing a Gramercy Top Handle 7002 bag from 1999 (that you graciously authenticated for me) see below for one of the auction pictures. I am trying to figure out the color name for this...

forum.purseblog.com

The red Demi Turnlock 9154 is genuine, made in 2000.

Thanks for checking these. So true about Etsy's track record for removing fakes.

Both bags in the pictures look authentic. The charm on the Monticello isn't original to the bag. It came with a more recent style.

Thank you very much!

I'm curious. Is eBay seller station_85 now doing business as halfpint-leather? Station_85 generally used a mannequin against a solid color backdrop. I clicked on a listing I would expect to be from station_85 based on past thumbnail pics and was surprised to see the other seller. Iirc, halfpint-leather was an Etsy seller. I don't believe that shop is still live.

Can you post the link?

I hope @BeenBurned has a chance to take a look.

I found that station_85 had another ID about a month or 2 ago. Definitely same seller, same backgrounds, same mix of fakes and authentic and both IDs located in Portland, OR.

station_85 and halfpint-leather are one and the same.

These are pictures from a fake I found and reported on Sept. 22, 2021 which had been listed by halfpint-leather:

It's authentic. Seller didn't provide any measurements but it is probably a Richmond bag #4209 if it is about 10 x 7 x 4.

Hi, could you please authenticate this coach Chelsea bag for me? I saw it with a very low price and am really curious whether this is genuine. Want to authenticate this bag before it gets shipped so that I can cancel the order if it’s fake. Thank you so much!

Item: coach Chelsea bag
Listing number: D1051-F12339
Seller and site where listed: Poshmark @908greenst
Link: https://posh.mk/D5oPqsLpWlb
Comments: cream and tan. my guess is the purse is a MFF bag produced in 2010. Not sure whether this is a genuine one because the price is so low.

thank you for helping!

It's genuine but I don't have a name for it. Bags made for the Factory Stores often are hard if not impossible to identify. You're correct about the date of manufacture.

Sorry, it's fake. Serial numbers starting with J8P- and creeds that say they were Made in the US are always fake.
