sorry... no it is craigslist. I asked for more photos but have not heard back. I thought the missing number on the creed might have been an automatic fake.

It's fake for many reasons.

When links are posted and a bag is fake, the listing and seller can be reported. Some sites, especially those that want to be perceived as safe on which to do business will remove fakes that are reported.

Sadly, I don't think Craigslist is one of those!

As @whateve said, the bag is fake. I hope you didn't purchase it.

Hello,

I sell random this and that's on ebay and mercari and came across a coach bag and want to make sure it's not a fake before I sell it. I've never had a coach bag to sell before.

Item: Coach K3D-9326.
Obtained: As my username suggests, I got it in the trash. This one was in a moving out trash heap. It was in a box with mostly rotted out no name bags other than 1 Michael Kors and this Coach.

I live in a fairly well off golf community where people throw a way good stuff and keep my eyes open on trash day for things scrappers don't look for. Dysons, nerf guns, an Xbox once, Name brand shoes, etc.

Welcome to TPF.

Although that style has been faked, your find is authentic, made in 2003.

Hello Authenticators :smile:,

I have two vintage Willis bags I have been looking at and was wondering if they could be authenticated.
To my untrained eyes they look pretty good, but I definitely want experts' opinions since the price isn't cheap!

One is navy and one is black because I am so torn between the two and the cost is fairly similar :biggrin:

Item: VTG Coach Leather Willis Satchel #9927 Navy Blue Crossbody Made In USA
Listing number: 355155669750
Seller: gardenia-lady on Ebay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/355155669750

Item: Vintage Coach Willis Black made in Costa Rica Excellant Condition!
Listing number: 204560311121
Seller: stuffntheattic on Ebay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/204560311121
Comment: Asked the seller for measurements and was shown the measurements from the old catalogue (last picture of listing).

Thank you for reading!

Both are authentic. Both are made in Costa Rica regardless of what the title says. The navy one was made in 1998 and the black one in 2002.
