Happy Saturday!
I just found this vintage bag on Poshmark for a decent price. It's need some elbow grease but I thought it would make for a good little project.
Seller: bazzle21

Item: Coach Legacy Crescent Hobo
I don't know if that's the official name but I hope it's authentic.

It's fine.
 
The British tan (made in Hungary) is an authentic Willis made in 1998.
The red (made in US) is an authentic Willis made in 1994.

The mahogany and the black (or navy?) bags are both fake.
Thank you very much! I was pretty sure that the black one is fake. And I had doubts about the Willis mahogany, its leather was so similar to the leather of my Legacy hobo 9058 mahogany.
 
I'm sorry, but I'm so upset that two of my Willis bags are fakes. And I began to check all the bags from my collection. Please take a look at those of them about which I have doubts.

Hello I would be very grateful for some help authenticating this bag I bought from a vintage shop recently.

I am prepared for it to be fake but hoping not so!!!

Item: Coach Abbie Zip

Comments: Think the creed looks suspect?

Please see photos, measures approx 6.5 inches wide by 6 high by 2 wide.
