Item: Coach Kimball
Listing number: N/A
Seller and site where listed: sweetaubie, Poshmark
Link: https://posh.mk/NwA90L88zob
Comments: Good morning! I'm really interested in a Kimball and I'm really confused on the creeds and the dates. From looking online, it looks like there's the first release where the creeds didn't correlate to model and then another one in the 90s? Much appreciate your help!

It's authentic. The creed is consistent with being made in the early 90s. 1994 was the first year they put style numbers in the creeds so any Kimballs made 1994 and later would have the new type of creed number.
 
The links aren't working for me.

ETA: This is the ebay one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/403545312599?hash=item5df52ccd57:g:L5kAAOSwUhNiEab~
It's an authentic station bag.

I can't find the etsy listings. This is why we ask for the seller's name (shop name) and the name of the item. Then we can potentially find it by looking for the seller.

I think you mean Gutsy Girls. There has been a lot of discussion on this thread about that seller, most of it not good.

Here is the link for #1: https://www.etsy.com/listing/110356...66747&click_sum=9caaf166&ref=shop_home_feat_2
It's authentic.

This is the link for #2: https://www.etsy.com/listing/104680...=27c71273&ref=shop_home_active_44&frs=1&cns=1
It's also authentic.
 
Yes, I saw that name and was on eBay was wondering if they are the same seller. I almost bought one, but found the site first. Fortunately.

Genuine but not a Waverly unless it's mis-stamped. 4155 is a Soho Zip tote, and it's from 1997.

The two styles are very similar but the Waverly is quite a bit smaller and has more of a squared base and shorter straps.
