Hi all,
I got this in an estate sale and am thinking of selling it but obviously don't want to sell a fake! I've never seen the Willis in this color anywhere on the internet so I'm worried.
Height: 9 1/4 in
Width: 10 3/4 in
Depth: 3 1/4 in
wow, what a beautiful bag! I would keep it as a precious treasure if I got one like this :)

Oh man, I keep going back and forth on whether or not to sell it! I haven't even carried it yet because I don't want to mess it up if I end up selling it. The guy running the estate sale said the woman had it locked in a storage locker for decades so it's in really good shape for being nearly 30 years old.

The color is beautiful! It's probably either bone or stone.
 


We don't answer authenticity questions when the correct format isn't followed or the required information isn't included. Please read the IMPORTANT READ ME post at the top of each page.

Also, I looked at your listings (I'm assuming the listings on Ebay are yours) and I noticed that your other items all say they've been authenticated, which tells me that this one probably has as well. I need to know the name of the authenticator and the authentication service you use. There are several sites and services whose authentications I refuse to verify.

Hello Authenticators, since I’m not so familiar with this bag I’m not sure what to look for. Could you help me authenticate it?

Item: Coach 9590
Listing number: N/A | Poshmark | seller: kailalaland
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/VTG-Coach-Slim-Buckle-Saddle-Crossbody-Purse-61a41c5e12d8800ef8db3a09
Comments: N/A
Maybe someone else will comment of the listing you've asked about but before you decide whether to do business with kailalaland, you might consider my comments below.

BEWARE! Many PM sellers think nothing of gaining a sense of trust from buyers by having a few authentic items. Then they mix fakes and rip of unsuspecting victims.

Someone will be screwed out of $200 for this fake:

and someone else bought a fake bikini NOT made by Coach:

#1: I don't comment on Poshmark listings so maybe one of the other authenticators will do that one.

#2: The green Whitney on ebay is authentic.

Thank you, I’ll rather stay away for now since it cost a decent amount. Thank you for your taking a look!

The bag on Poshmark is authentic. There is a transposition in the creed number made by the factory.
 
Fake?

Vintage Coach Legacy City Brown Leather Flap Bag


I hope you're not the buyer, it's fake.

A forum search of the seller "mariepose" who is the person THIS seller "re-poshed" it from, see the photos, has had a number of listings in the past for fake Coaches.

I don't know if this particular bag has been mentioned before, but there's definitely a problem with the serial number. The parallel "stretch marks" at the top of the flap are another red flag and probably caused by overstretching the leather during processing to soften it. Any "Coach" with stretch marks where the leather shouldn't have been stressed should be authenticated here BEFORE buying. I believe I've mentioned that in the Salearea Coach Guides.
