The creed and serial number are fine. It was made in 1994






You're correct, it's an Austin Bag from the early 1990s.

Thank you, @Hyacinth !!

Hello experts. I would appreciate if you could authenticate this bag.
Mini bennet, purchased on eBay.
Does the tag mean made in January,2017? I don’t know which factory it was made in though?

Ok. As I had already bought the bag I thought they weren’t needed. Listing link, seller ID & listing number added. Thanks for telling me.

oops, so sorry for Lenox bag images. I tried to ask for authentication of that one, too but could not upload more than 12 and thought I deleted them. Apologies for the messy post.

Can you please authenticate this bag I acquired before resale. I attached a similar posting I found on eBay.

Yes, we need all the required information whether the listing is still active or sold.

I believe the bag is okay but the Disney collection and other collections within the last several years have been very closely faked. It's important for ok_jenle and other sellers to include enough pictures in their listings. It helps buyers to see exactly what they're getting, authenticators to evaluate and most important, it adds credibility to the seller and her items. This seller's listings are sorely lacking in definitive pictures!

Yes, the bag was made in January 2017. 81 is the plant code but without seeing the made in label, I can't say which factory/country it was made in. Coach has so many plants in various countries with some countries using more than one plant code and I don't keep track of all of them as it's not necessary to do so.

I'm not sure what you mean by acquiring the bag "before resale." Where did you acquire it?

A similar posting on ebay doesn't help or prove anything and even without seeing the pictures in the ebay listing, I can't comment on authenticity.

The pictures of the bag you've posted show a fake and as such, it can't be listed or sold anywhere.

Can you get a refund? Was it bought online? Please post a link to the source.

Thank you. Are there any more pics that are needed? Is there another label in the bag to find the plant it’s made made in?

i brought it from a neighbor. Thank you for your feedback I truly appreciate it. Do you mind sharing with me what are the compelling attributes of the bag that makes it fake. I'm trying to learn how to identify these types and obviously, I'm still not good at it. Thanks again.

The seller did have a fake a while back

NJD is an invalid serial prefix.

If your neighbor is honorable, she'll take it back and give you a refund.
