But from her Announcement:
Shop with confidence, as we're an Entrupy verified business (the first AI based authentication service)!
Same service that's used by shopgoodwill :mad:
^^^^ That's scary because we know how undependable Entrupy is!

While it's always a good idea to verify any item from any seller since all are human and can err, it's especially important when a seller admits to using Entrupy.

Hi Authenticators- I was wondering if you would help me determine the authenticity of some bags I've picked up at flea markets/yard sales, please? Thanks in advance!
This black Willis.

Dear Authenticators,
I got too excited to see a 1941 wallet in Beechwood with dark hardware. I purchased it, but upon further review I’m wondering if it’s a factory wallet or if it’s actually fake…It says Coach on the back instead of 1941 and my other wallets do not say Coach on the inside. Will you please take a look?
Thank you so much

Item: 1941 trifold wallet
Listing #: 125939048334
Seller: ashle-121
Site eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1259390483...LYbsNJ9CQPW&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=SMS

Do you mean this one? Post 82,995


"Sorry, the "Willis" is fake."

I've noticed that when there are so many photos sucking up bandwidth on a page of posts, trying to load the page without having it jump around is an exercise in frustration.

I think the only one I missed was the last one (too new for me), and I told her what else we
needed to see.

ETA - I don't think she posted a photo of the white tag from inside though.

Sorry. Yes, that's the bag for which I missed your authentication. At least we agreed!

Hello; this is my first time getting an authentication so I hope I'm doing it right?? So here goes!

Item:

Bonnie Cashin for Coach Bag Kiss Lock Tote Rare Salmon Pink Leather Vintage 1960s Pre Creed​

Listing number: Don't see one?
Seller and site where listed; - Monalisa Creations, ETSY
Link
- <https://www.etsy.com/listing/955947637/bonnie-cashin-for-coach-bag-kiss-lock?click_key=877122dd83f0d78f30c75d0c887c246c75a788ab:955947637&click_sum=a76cb5a5&ref=related-2&frs=1>

Comments: Seller states " missing metal Coach tag". Has several beautiful 1960s "Bonnie Cashin for Coach" bags presently listed and sold, that look like brand new? Do you think she may be refurbishing them? She points out a few minor flaws, but they are mostly from use, like little pen marks and such, not from aging? Please be sure to check the other listings as well. They are quite the eye candy. I just hope they're not too good to be true? She seems to specialize in this particular line "Bonnie Cashin for Coach".

I'd love to purchase this, but my concern is I am aware of some recent counterfeiters that have been reproducing vintage Gucci bags for the last several years, that are identical to the 1980s Gucci bags, and the only thing that gives them away at times, is their condition, looking brand new with no signs of aging at all. The labels, serial numbers and even the materials are identical to the Genuine old style Gucci markings right down to the minor details on the shield symbol and it's pretty scary how good they are! So I'm wondering if they may be doing the same with vintage Coach now as well?? These would be so super easy to copy without any creeds, right?
I'd appreciate your thoughts on this bag. Thank you
Is this the same seller?
Saw it on ebay too :)
