I think that is fine but the stamped snap closure is throwing me. Thank you.

I'm excited about this bag. Please and thank you for taking an authentication eyes look. She lists as both "burgundy" and "mahogany." Any idea of which? Seller sold this bag to me here: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m98489162726/ (no creed photo) But, also has it listed currently for sale on another platform here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1580648963/vintage-coach-binocular-bag-designer (with creed photo). Seller might be up to shenanigans because I tried to cancel the sale for nonshipment after the alloted time, and the last day (today) she shipped. I hope the bag I get is the one pictured. Because I think it's beautiful.

Weird!

Both the Mercari seller Manda Geunes and the Etsy seller Mikki beaton Owner of TheDesertHaze are from PA so it's possible they're the same person on both sites.

But it's also strange that they have different such different prices - $105 on Mercari and $160 on Etsy. (I know prices can vary depending on the fees various sites charge but this variation is huge!)

I'd email both sellers and verify that you'll be getting the bag shown in the listing, verify that both sellers are the same person and if so, remind them that the listing is still active on Etsy.


ETA: If the bag you receive has the same creed you got the picture of, it's fine.
Did you fund the payment with a c.c.? If so, you've got card protection in case the site doesn't back you up.

Haven't seen a pebbled wallet like this one, so wondering if it's authentic? If so, any style name/number, etc? Thank you!

Thanks for your help! Yes, I can dispute the charge if necessary. Both sellers list the same city, Coatesville, PA. Both seller names start with "M." The descriptions of the bags are identical, including referencing the 2 colors burgundy and mahogany. The person is obviously confused... She printed a shipping label on the 15th but never dropped it off to the carrier. Until today. Yesterday, I tried to cancel the sale with Mercari, and they refused. Either she just forgot to drop it off, or...maybe hoping someone would buy it also and pay more? She had a "buy it now" of $105. I jumped, because I've been pricing these around and that's a great price, especially if it turns out to be burgundy. (which I think it is).

Greetings Authenticators,
Can you please take a look at this bag? I understand that the Goodwill COAs have very little value. https://shopgoodwill.com/item/191373438
Thank you!

Hello Authenticators,
Could you authenticate this Logan bag for me? Also, do you think the stitching along the wood dowel looks like its is coming apart? Also, do you think that the stitching on the side panels is poorly done? This is a bag on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2046512121...2102716&segname&recoId=204651212119&recoPos=1
