Thank you and be safe!
 
Do I understand correctly that I have to incur 5 posts and be a member for 5 days before I can ask to have a bag authenticated? Is there anything I’m missing?

Thanks,
SCGrl

I don't believe that particular Rule applies to authentication requests, but please wait for confirmation.

Rules specifically for the "Authenticate This..." threads are posted in Post number 1 of each thread and usually in a READ ME post at the top of each authentication thread page.

Please be sure to include the online listing link with future requests

The white Mitchell Zip appears genuine.

The "Willis" is a total fake. Invalid serial number font, fake hardware, invalid year code for the silver-color hardware, and the Coach logo in the creed is off-center.
