The mercari bag I asked about the other day. Here are some more photos. PS my husband took the bag out of the shipping Box and looked at it for 1 second and said fake. Is it? https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m31810987166/

Hi Authenticators, can you please help me to authenticate this bag?

Item: Coach Court Bag
Where purchased or how obtained : A post on facebook

Comments: Seller has posted a picture of bags she wanted to sell and I saw a coach bag. I requested more pictures from the seller. The bag came with no strap and the one she puts on is not original

The court bag looks fine. The strap wasn't made by Coach.

Thank you so much whateve. Yes, not the original Coach strap. It is a replacement strap.

 

[lucy7550]

It's a genuine Hamptons Leather Binocular Case made in 2001

Thanks, Hyacinth. Now I hope I can get it! -

 

[ConnieinSeattle]

Yes, it's fake.

THANK YOU. I'm asking them to refund me.

There's no way we're going to try to authenticate a highly-faked style without a readable creed stamp and serial number. And I'm not sure why any professional authentication service would either. That COA has no solid basis for claiming that bag is authentic, unless they have access to photos that we don't, which is NOT the way to do business.

That authentication company has been mentioned here before and demanded that we stop posting their company name here at tPF, so you won't find any actual mention of them, and when you try to type their name in a post here, all you get is a line of asterisks.

Thank you Hyacinth.

I feel even more strongly than @Hyacinth about both the seller caecae09 and Poshmark. I not only don't recommend the Willis but I don't recommend caecae09.

As Hyacinth pointed out, the creed in the "Willis" listing probably doesn't belong to that bag.

Other listings for different bags have the same creed picture shown in them. (There are 2 listings of each of 2 bags, all with the same creed picture:

1 DAY SALE Vintage Coach black Madison Satchel

I’ve received the bag in question and the pictures on the website are different. The picture is not of same bag. Additionally it’s full of mold. That was also not disclosed in the listing. Here are pics of the real bag.

It is authentic. Does it smell like mold? If you like the bag, it can be washed and conditioned, and the mold can be killed before it damages the bag.

It does smell, but not a huge amount. I wanted a Willis and it is that style. However, I need to decide whether I will seek a refund. Even if it's authentic, it is not the bag that was listed. TBH, I'm pissed. It's dirty, moldy, and not what I "bought".

It's a genuine Soho Bag, style 4082, but was made in the early 1990s. The seller's information about dates and serial numbers isn't correct.

The seller has been discussed at tPF a few times:

Good morning all, and happy Tuesday!
I’m hoping someone could authenticate the following Patricia bag:
Seller: Consignedforyou on Etsy
Listing # 1195163811

https://www.etsy.com/listing/1195163811/vintage-coach-9951-patricia-legacy-black

thanks so much for your help!
(Edited to correct link)

The link was still wonky for me, but this worked:

This item is unavailable - Etsy

Find the perfect handmade gift, vintage & on-trend clothes, unique jewellery, and more… lots more.

www.etsy.com

It's a genuine Patricia's Legacy from 1998.

Thanks for correcting that link Hyacinth. I guess that’s what you get from trying to do everything on a phone! Really appreciate the help.

There are some things that a full-feature computer or laptop is best for, and that includes both buying and authenticating.

Just a comment on the seller, ConsignedForYou. Although the bag you asked about was deemed to be authentic, ConsignedForYou has this one for nearly $100.
