Item: Coach Bleecker Riley Carryall (sample style)
Mercari item ID: m32090440866
Seller: We Love Our Bags (Mercari)
Link: https://merc.li/WqCxdkSKb?sv=0

Measurements: 14” x 9.5” x 6”

Hello and Thank you!
Seller listed this bag as a sample style that they acquired from a person that worked at Coach corporate. I haven’t been able to find any info on this style released in an orange color. The Bleecker Riley styles were released around 2014. I saw some pics of different Bleecker styles from the same time in the color Bright Mandarin, I wonder if that’s the color. The leather is moderately thick and stitching seems to match other Riley’s. There is no style number on the creed or any made in tag in the pockets.

Anyways thanks for looking. I hope it’s authentic as it’s lovely and so my style. Thank you!

Over the years, we've seen so many questionable items and items that were deemed to be 100% without question fake from sellers claiming to have "samples" purchased from "employee sales." Not a single seller has ever been able to show receipts or any type of proof AT ALL proving their assertions.

These so-called samples have been seen with no serials numbers on bags which should have them, 00000 style numbers, 99999 style numbers, serial prefixes indicating dates that were years prior to Coach's introduction of those styles, other details that aren't correct for the styles, Coach, or eras of bags.
This is a search of "sample sale" which doesn't include items from this seller but is about "samples" in general - https://forum.purseblog.com/search/...&c[child_nodes]=1&c[nodes][0]=113&o=relevance

Additionally, there are several sites and IDs:
Mercari - We Love Our Bags i
Ebay - weloveourbags
Her own website - "WE LOVE OUR BAGS"
Poshmark - weloveourbags

The seller also has a history. Knowingly or not, she has listed and sold fakes.

In fact, most recently, there was this Hall of Shame post for an ebay listing that was removed:
January 17, 2023 - https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...oach-fakes-here.824098/page-563#post-35486995


Although the listing was removed from ebay so she knows it's fake, the same fake is listed on her other sites:
Mercari: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m45342572142/
Poshmark: https://poshmark.com/listing/COACH-...ARM-KEYCHAIN-HANGTAG-63c5c83ab289d2261896f5b0
Her site: https://weloveourbags.com/products/...ychain-hangtag?_pos=1&_psq=horse&_ss=e&_v=1.0

Personally, I do NOT recommend buying any "sample" items from ANY seller since they can't be authenticated.

Thank you for taking the time to post all of this! I haven’t been on the forum much and therefore a bit rusty and less cautious when it comes to buying.

I’ll have to decide what to do, going to read through the links you shared. Thanks again.

Seeing as how it is the A plant, I suspect it is just a mistake. I have two other carousel bags in my files made in the A plant. I wonder if the year code is also a mistake.
