I'm sorry, I believe it is fake.

I'm sorry, I believe it is fake.

thank you, I’d love to hear why to help me better identify bags in the future.

thank you, I’d love to hear why to help me better identify bags in the future.

It's probably not something that most buyers would be able to spot since it involves the details of the serial number stamping, and unless someone has a photo library of literally thousands of both real and fake examples of creed and serial photos for comparison along with experience in doing that, I doubt if they'd be able to spot it. That's why we always urge members to authenticate here before buying.

I agree with @whateve that it's not authentic.

It's authentic but both the seller and the COA company have the wrong name. There's no such thing as a "Willis Station bag."
It's a station bag.

It's genuine, from 1997, but if the authentication service didn't have access to the photo of the creed and serial number, which appears to be the case from their certificate, I don't see how they could have had all the details they need to certify authenticity, unless they're not putting the creed photo on the certificate.

And as BeenBurned just mentioned, they didn't get the name correct.

Comments: the brass hardware on the strap is really bent. I’ve included a picture next to my tan city coach. If anyone knows how I could fix this, this would be amazing. Would love to know if this is authentic before I rehab the bag. Thank you

good morning guys! I stopped at my local thrift stores before work today and found this adorable backpack. I have been looking for a backpack. I was so exited that I didn’t really do my research. After looking over the bag. It seems authentic to me. What do you guys think ?
