It may not have been stored properly.

Thank you. What can I do to prevent further damages?

Ok, so for my educational purposes , I’m highly suspicious of this bag, but can someone else look? The creed is oddly spaced and the item number would indicate that this style should be a drawstring bucket style correct? Or have I gone wrong and it is authentic (which would place it pre-1994? Is when they changed the item numbering?)? The condition of it looks like if it is a fake, it’s a vintage one.
Item: “9929”

Thank you! The link isn't working for me but I found the listing. It turns out I have that same catalog page in my files but never tagged it for the cosmetic case since it is cut off. Having the measurements really helps.

Sorry about the link - apparently I copied it incorrectly. When I saw the catalog photo in the listing, I almost missed the cosmetic case info too. Love sleuthing when I have a bit of info to begin the journey!
Again, thanks for all of your help. You, BeenBurned & Hyacinth are an incredible wealth of information. And so willing to share it. Thanks to all of you!

It is pre 1994. I don't see any problems with it.

The leather needs to be moisturized. Use a good conditioner. My favorite is Leather CPR. You can visit or rehab club for more advice. https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/coach-rehab-and-rescue-club.833400/

Good lord! Fakes are so pervasive in Japan that I started a thread about it in June 2019. In the subsequent (nearly) 5 years, it's gotten way worse.

My warning thread: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/japanese-coach-ring-warning.1012568/

As such, I certainly will NOT give specifics that will help the counterfeiters make better fakes.

With that said, for NAD (not as described) disputes on ebay, there's NO REASON to discuss anything with the seller. Just go to your order and open a dispute to return the item. Seller will have to pay for a return shipping label if they want the item back or they'll have to issue a refund without returning it.

Once a claim is opened, seller has 3 days to respond and if he doesn't, you can go back and request that ebay step in, after which they may issue the refund.

Because it's not a US seller, they won't be able to issue a return shipping label but will have to send you the money prior to your shipment. (DO NOT PAY TO RETURN BEFORE GETTING THE MONEY or you won't get reimbursed for the label!)

Again, go to ebay NOW and open a return request. Stop communicating with the seller.

Thank you. I do want to violate this forum’s policy. Prior to your response - I communicated with the seller, stated my details, and the seller issued a full refund. Thank you again for your help. I learned my lesson.

The photos indicate a genuine Coach.

Thank you Hyacinth. I’m going to refurb now it’s got your seal of approval ☺️👍

You didn't do anything to violate the rules here. I just don't want to disclose information that helps the fakes improve their product.

Hi, please help; does this Watson look authentic? thanks

I can't read the creed and serial number too well but from what I'm seeing, it appears to be fake.

If you (or the seller) can get a clearer and more legible picture of the creed and serial number, I believe it would confirm my suspicions.

I'm leaning the same way.
