Item: Coach Forest Green Cosmetic Case With Tags Nice Condition
Listing number: 181785101623
Seller: toni1972sing

Comments: I don't know much about various pouches/cosmetic cases with this ticking interior. There's no creed on this one, which I know isn't always an issue and I haven't seen many green ones. Thoughts? Thanks so much!

It seems ok but there's not much to prove it's genuine besides the ticking lining. And cosmetic cases almost never had creeds or serial numbers.
 
Genuine.

That Bleecker line was faked a lot and usually the plant code or date code and a small difference in the strap or handles were the only ways to tell. But the Costa Rica ones have been OK so far. And many of the fakes we've seen have slightly thinner leather.

Thanks for this, Hyacinth! This one is definitely thick, beautiful Coach leather :)

I'm looking for opinions on this Patricia bag. Is J a US plant or China?

Thanks.

In 2002 "J" would have NOT been a US plant code.

And take a look at the inside pocket zipper ends.

Here's a genuine D2J- serial and creed, sorry the picture isn't clearer:

Thanks for confirming what I suspected. I like to be sure before reporting.

How is it that the fake listed on Bonanza is already removed, but not on eBay? How long does it usually take eBay to remove fakes once it's reported? None of the ones I've ever reported were ever removed even when I provided proof.

Comments: I shouldn’t have bought it becauseI already have many wallets, but it was an impulse buy. I have always been a sucker for the 65th Anniversary Collection and legacy stripes and kisslocks. I am pretty sure that it is genuine but I would greatly appreciate your expert opinions. Thank you!
