Can someone please authenticate this, I would appreciate it very much.

Item: Small Black Coach Bag
Where purchased or how obtained: Ebay (sorry no link, purchased ages ago)
Comments: One of the first Coach bags I bought on ebay, years ago so there is no link to the item or even the seller sadly. I believe now this is a fake, but I wanted to make sure. 10 x 5 x 2. There is no white tag inside the pockets.
Sorry but it's fake.
 
Good afternoon

I bought this for my sisters birthday but when I opened it, it made me wonder about the authenticity of it. It feels like plastic inside. Could you please advise

I think it's okay.

I believe it is plastic or PVC coated fabric. The inside may be leather but even some of the new leathers feel plastic-y.

Comments: Hello and happy rising. I am hoping to be able to receive an authentication on this listing. Thank you in advance.
I want to give you a heads up that this listing is a scam. The seller took the photos from this listing


I own this bag, I have it in my possession. I don't know what she will send if you purchase this listing but it is not the bag in the pictures. I have contacted her several times and gives a bunch of excuses and says I don't know what I'm talking about.
@DoraT94 - where is the Etsy bag shipping from?? The Etsy seller has only had 2 sales - both apparently the same bag. The only item left in her shop now says its ships from Mexico. Just curious - as @coachowe suggested a scam.

Hum....Both "sold" Etsy bags surprisingly seem to have the identical number.
The Etsy listing for the bag said it ships from Mexico just like the painting. My bag, (the one in the pictures) I got on Ebay and it shipped from NJ.
Well, unless the Etsy seller has a way to send @DoraT94 your bag, @DoraT94 won't likely be getting the bag in the Etsy listing. :sad:
Thank you @DL Harper and @coachowe for this update. Should I contact her immediately? Or request pictures from her? Or contact Etsy? Request a cancellation?
how should I proceed?
Again, thanks.
@DL Harper The listing states that it is being shipped from Mexico. I messaged her before the sale and she said “It is a great piece and in very good condition”.
i suppose too good to be true. Will update again soon.
Because another tFPer has the exact bag in the photos in her possession, you have no way of knowing what bag the Etsy seller will actually send to you. Regardless of her statement, she didn't sell you the bag in the photos. The Etsy seller is definitely not the same seller/buyer who the pictured bag belongs to. Sadly Etsy is not very responsive to some issues. Ultimately the choice is yours, but I'd cancel the sale right away by contacting Etsy. You (and your money) deserve to get a bag that you can actually see in a photo(s) to determine if it will work for you. Bait and switch could be a real problem. JMO Good luck!
Well, I've got an answer that isn't good. I wrote to Fatima Anay Lerma Estrada aka ThingsAnay on Etsy and she's not telling the truth.

@DoraT94 -- If you pay for the bag, use a credit card or Paypal so you have protection.
 
Hello, found this cute guy at my local goodwill :smile: can someone take a look at it. I think it’s fine. But better safe than sorry. Thank you
