Hi everyone— could someone tell me if this is authentic and what the style number might be? I’ve seen several others listed in online shops but no number and the leads I thought I had (from searching this thread) ended up being other styles of cosmetic cases. This one is large and flat and probably from late 90’s- early 2000’s. 8” long x 6” tall 489ED87D-55DB-466C-9445-F4DA89EA3E63.jpegAF7E1F1E-DAEF-4E31-9D30-E3D5B5C3FAA3.jpeg225F976E-E19E-436E-87BE-A5943E14934D.jpeg360E73EF-5746-4BB1-A87E-01EE3D080BA0.jpeg

Gotcha, I'm not tech savvy but I will try and do that next time. Maybe I'll try on the computer as my phone I think is harder to see those things.

I don't see any problems.
 
Hello, again. I had this bag authenticated here when I originally purchased it. I sold it and the buyer claims it's not authentic. Could you take a look again, please?

Calling ebay now.

It's authentic, made in 1994.

Did the buyer say why she thinks it's fake? Is it possible that she saw your no return policy and felt she needed an excuse to return it?

Feel free to refer your buyer here if it's reassurance she's looking for. If it's a return, tell her to return for refund. If it sold once, it'll sell again.

Thank you once again, @BeenBurned. I've provided a cut and paste of the authentication as well as a link to this page to both the buyer and ebay. We shall see what happens. I've asked for her concerns and gotten no response. I think it's buyers' remorse. Annoying but not the first, nor the last. Thanks again.

The last thing you want is for the buyer to escalate and have ebay resolve the dispute. If that happens, the buyer
Please could someone take a look at this Maggie Duffle I found at my local thrift store and cleaned her up.

Sorry but it's fake.

ETA: Here's a genuine comp that was made in Feb. 1997, a month after your bag claims to have been made. Compare the serial number fonts on both:

Hi! Could anyone be able to confirm this as being fake? It resembles the Basic bag, but it was listed with very little information and I've never seen a serial # with a 0 before the style number. To be honest, I ordered it knowing it was most likely a fake because I needed that style of hang tag to go onto an authentic Soho Mini Basket that I have that is missing one, so for the price I paid I figured it was worth the gamble. Thanks in advance!

It's absolutely authentic! And it IS a basic bag. When Coach remade that style (2013 for your bag), style numbers were 5 digits so for consistency, they added a zero in front of 4 digit styles.

For future requests, please refer to and include the information required as shown in the highllighted post at the top of each page of the thread.
