Good morning authenticators, happy earth day :smile: would love an authentication of this purse please

Item: Coach Navy Blue Dakota Lariat Leather Crossbody Satchel Bag Vintage
Listing number: 275807808174
Seller and site where listed: eBay, vansa11
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/275807808174
Comment: no serial number with the creeed, and my first time seeing “solid brass” stamped on the hardware. Previous posts suggest the stamped hardware for solid brass is something that was done on Dakota bags between 1991-1992.

Edit To add: I think it’s a Cassidy mini not a Lariat

I agree, it's a Dakota Cassidy Mini Bag style 4204 from around 1992.

And although I'd be much more comfortable if you'd posted a photo of the creed even though there's no serial number (my old computer won't open Ebay photos) I don't see anything that concerns me in the photo I can see. But if you have time to post the creed photo, that would be appreciated. The only photo I can see doesn't show the leather texture at all.

Perfect. It's exactly what it should be, thank you for helping me confirm it completely. And it has the correct kind of leather on the inside pocket (pigskin, I think, hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong).
Yay, great. Glad to hear it. I got nervous someone else would buy it so I scooped it up feeling 95% confident but of course wanted to confirm here, so I’m very happy right now. It looks super cute :smile:
 
Hello, all. I'm pretty sure I have purchased a counterfeit duffle. I blame it on the early hour when I bought it. I will attach a photo of the creed so you all can see what I see.

Sorry, you did get a fake. :sad:

ETA: It won't cost you anything to return it if you open a "not as described" return request.

Since the bag is from ebay, you have 30 days from receipt to open a return request for "not as described," picking "doesn't seem authentic" as the reason.

The seller banksstreetsupplyco will have 2 choices; she can issue a full refund without requiring the return or she can purchase and supply a prepaid shipping label for you to return the item to the seller.

If the seller doesn't respond to the dispute by the date they tell her to or if she doesn't issue a refund after receipt of the return, you can go back to the case and request that ebay step in.

You WILL get a full refund.
Thank u so very much for that info! U guys are wonderful
