The links you provided take us to a page with lots of handbags from different sellers. In order for us to see the specific listings you are asking about, you need to click on the bag you're asking about and post links to the page with each bag.

ETA: I found the sellers:
and

It looks like sold items aren't showing up so you might have to save and post pictures unless you can access the links and have them show so we can see the items.
Sorry about that. I did not know that sold items don't show up. I bought it earlier, but I am still able to cancel if fake. As I have learned my lesson and will not buy any bag unless verified.

Here are the photo's from the ads. It is a golden bag and a navy blue one. Thanks as always for your expertise.

Italy is and has been a hotbed of fakes.manufacturing, but mostly of higher-end luxury bags.

I have notified the seller I do not accept the purchased bag and want to discontinue the transaction. The seller of the fake G4D-9927 has agreed, so I will receive a refund from Vinted (buyer protection arrangement). She says she did not know it was fake. And she does not want the bag returned to her.

What to do with the fake bags: views welcome: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/coach-hall-of-shame-post-coach-fakes-here.824098/post-35895638

Thanks authenticators for your expertise. :heart:

Can anyone help me authenticate this bag? I got it from a very reliable source that I've gotten countless authentic bags from. I know it's a Coach swingback messenger bag and some of these don't have serial numbers in them. It doesn't have any paper tags inside either. Just the creed with no serial number. I've read it could also be a sample bag or used for promotional photo shoots. Let me know if you think it's authentic or not. Thank you!!

BUMP on these 2 requests please. I realize they are those problematic PM listings some authenticators like to avoid - sorry.
My apology if I overlooked a response to either or both of them.
Thank you!
Good morning!
Sorry this listing is a PM listing. Can someone take a look at this keyring/fob? Style name, number, year, photo etc if available please.
Thank you!

This one at least actually HAS a Lichtenstein connection. Doesn't look at all like the Coach's "brushstrokes" either. Very cool tote though:

And didn't your boss's site on Etsy have something similar? He had the same kind of wristlet that you're selling, IIRC. Is he still doing authentications for members?

Again, a reminder. please do not advertise or link to your own listings here.
Thanks for the info, I just thought it was cool and may have been a collab. Sorry, my boss is in the textile business not coach so that's sort of a strange question to ask.
 
Dear Authenticators can you please take a look and confirm fakeness...thanks oodles :smile:
