The listing for the fake Scribble has vanished, I hope it was reported and removed.

llally2012 is definitely a seller we need to keep an eye on since she obviously couldn't recognise a fake Coach if it flew up her nose.

I do believe someone reported it! That's why the pictures were posted - in case it got removed.

Both are ok. The second one is from a small line called Greenwich, and we don't have names for most of them since they were only made for a very short time and so far I haven't found them in any catalog. So we can probably just call it a Greenwich Tote.

Thank you for the assistance and information!

It's a genuine Dakota Harvest Tote, style number 4207 amd made in 1991 or 1992.

Hat's Off to the "Someone" who reported it!

I'm having a really hard time reading the creeds on a couple of bags.
Bear with me, I am posting a ton of photos of the creed and then will put up the actual bag.
Thanks!
It should be a Patricia's Legacy if all good!

 

[thecollector629]

Here are photos of the bag itself.
Thanks in advance!

 

[thecollector629]

A Willis bag in my possession - the leather is wrinkly, especially on the flap,
don't know if this would be called elephant skin?
The creed is also very faint and hard to read, sorry!

 

[thecollector629]

Third bag in my possession, measures about 9x7x3 - don't know the style.
Thank you!

It looks ok to me.

It looks like a 9908 Devon Bag

Genuine, and no, that's not what we mean by "elephant skin". I posted some examples in this thread last month:
http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/authenticate-this-coach-889527-399.html#post28568714

Coach sometimes used leather that was heavily textured for inside pockets since the leather wasn't suitable for use on the outside of a bag and there was no sense wasting the leather. But sometimes fakes makers did the same thing.

 

[thecollector629]

All look good. That isn't what we mean by elephant skin. That bag might be authentic. The leather is just wrinkled. I don't have a picture in my files of "elephant skin." It's just really bad quality leather.

Great, thank you!
