The Mercari link isn't working at all for me. Maybe one of the other authenticators can try.

The Goodwill link doesn't include READABLE photos of the bag's creed and serial number. We need to see and read the stamps, including the small stamping details. If you an get better photos of those details we can take another look. "Certificates Of Authenticity", especially from Entrupy, are useless, we have seen far too many mistakes from those services. And if they only have access to the same photos that are in the listing, there's NO WAY they can accurately authenticate that item. NEVER base a buying decision on one. There are several threads here about serious mistakes by Entrupy, here's just one of them with 10 PAGES of posts:

Entrupy is not dependable!

Since I'd first heard about Entrupy and its "ability" to authenticate through computer algorithms, I had doubts about the dependability, but not having seen evidence in brands I know of mistakes, I couldn't be sure. After what I saw today, I offer a strong caveat because if a mistake can be...

In 2015, @Vlad promised a form which, unless properly filled in, requests couldn't go through. Although it would have been nice to have, in November, 2017, he said that the programming coders went out of business and they were "waiting for someone else to take over and finish the product."

It's been 5 years and I find it hard to believe that there isn't a programmer around who can do this! Perhaps those of us who volunteer our time aren't making enough noise! (And I doubt that Coach is the only forum that is getting incomplete requests.

@Vlad, any chance this'll ever happen in my lifetime? I'm not trying to be difficult but ........

The bag on Mercari is an authentic Willis made in 1996.

Hello, authenticators. I hope you're all doing well. On the East coast today, we are getting the remnants of Ian. If these are the remnants, I can't imagine what it was like to take a direct hit. Best wishes and good thoughts out to our SE US members.

I bought this and paid already. Thanks to the TPFer who alerted me to this listing. I didn't see any red flags and didn't have a chance to authenticate prior to the end of auction. Please let me know what you think. If the photos aren't clear enough, I'm happy to send more after it arrives.

Thanks in advance. I always appreciate the help here. BTW, I am ignoring the Entrupy certificate, which, as I understand, is the appropriate reaction.

Two authentications in a row--this one, simple curiosity. I will add the creed photos sent to me by the seller:

<p>A beautiful Coach bag, multicolored drawstring midnight blue almost black, beige, khaki and light blue striped leather. Comes with attached Coach hangtag. Clean inside and out. I have never carried this bag, but it is as new as you can get. Thank you for looking.. check out my other bags</p>

My concern is that I know the style number is from @2000 and I don’t recall a multi color version.
