Hi all,

I purchased this Regina bag back in 2015 and pretty much forgot about it til I moved earlier this year. I purchased it off of Ebay so I no longer have the listing or seller info. I did google the 'serial number' and did see an older post from someone back in 2013 asking for authentication but I'm uncertain if they were reused for multiple bags or not. Any help is much appreciated! Thank you!

Serial numbers used since 1994 have been reused multiple times so using a search engine to find the number does NOTHING to prove the bag is authentic. Read the Salearea Coach Guides in the thread of the same name for a lot more useful and accurate information. It's best to read the entire thread.

SaleArea guides

Now that ebay is removing the guides they've been hosting for years, those who use those guides have been forced to either save them on their computers or print them. Tonight I found that the Salearea guides (including the Hyacinth/Salearea collaboration ones) have been saved to Salearea's...

The Regina in your photos is genuine.

Thank you, BeenBurned!

I figured. But for $3.99 and a decent return policy, it seemed worth a very slim chance.

I didn't see the misspelling till I got in the car and took the photos.

I feel sorry for the cow that died for this mess of a bag.

Will Savers in your area allow returns on bags? (I did fight for one once but post-pandemic, their return policy is only on clothing and shoes.)

The bag is fine.

Hello!

I just purchased this Prairie bag from a small thrift store near me. Since it was purchased in the store and they don’t sell online, there isn’t a link available. The turnlock had been removed and mangled, and part of it was missin. I’m not sure if you’re still able to authenticate even with the missing part. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Hi Authenticators!

I really need to clean out before buying more bags, but I love this style. Is this one ok, and how does the leather from Hungary compare to the US?

Genuine and made in 1998.

I can't compare leathers, sorry. There are six pages of posts that come up in a forum Search for "coach leather Hungary" so you might want to read through those.
