I wouldn't buy that item from either seller.

Just a comment on the "other" seller (from Cape Coral, FL) mentioned who has sold dozens of keychains. On November 29, that seller had a fake Coach keychain that was removed.

The "new" fakes are more accurate than the early fakes of those styles so we probably missed some. Very few buyers take the time to authenticate keychains these days, and I have a feeling that you and I may be the last old-timers who still have photo libraries that include decent photos, or who might still own one of the genuine originals. We're also more familiar with the mistakes the counterfeiters tended to make.

The new fakes are styles that usually weren't faked back then either, and aren't nearly as obvious as the older ones were. They're cheaper to make and a LOT cheaper to ship than fake handbags too. With shipping costs from China and other Pacific Rim sources at insanely high levels, it was probably just a matter of time until the crooks figured that out.

Good morning Authenticators,
I was hoping one of you would look at this Kaffe Fassett Troupe and matching strap I recently purchased on eBay. I did ask for additional pictures before purchase. I’ve received it and really want it to be authentic, fingers crossed. It smells fine and looks to be good quality, but I’ve never actually seen one in person. Please let me know what you think. I’m concerned about the Japanese seller fakes out there resembling newer styles. Please let me know if you need additional photos. The made in tag says Vietnam, I couldn’t get a clear picture. Thank you so much for your time and Merry Christmas!

Hello

I would appreciate authentication of this bag:


FOR ITEMS LISTED ONLINE:
Item: Vintage Coach 9865 Large Plaza Leather Turnlock Handle USA Mahogany Bag
Listing number: 185704591625
Seller and site where listed: Ebay - cherryberry1984
Link: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/18570459...hLSLK7rzx6mC3lJ4KvYch/2OrU=|tkp:Bk9SR9y5iY-oY

Would this be a big rehab project or a straightforward one? I am concerned about what looks like mould. Would dunking get rid of this? I will seek more advice on the rehab boards if it's authentic.

How rare are Plazas? I have not seen many for sale. Many thanks in advance for the advice!!
