Hello,

This is my second vintage Coach bag, I have been searching for a Janice bag at a decent price for a few months, I bought this one and it just arrived in the mail today. I am no expert and have never seen the Janice model in person, but I noticed that the zipper pull was falling apart a little bit. It looks like the edges were painted and the inside seems to be cardboard or paper? Also I noticed some edges on the strap that were coming up. Otherwise it looks good to me, the creed looks good (to me)

I can’t figure out how to post photos here but this is the original listing
Please let me know what you think!

It's authentic, made in 2004.
 
Can anyone authenticate this purse I found at the thrift store? Number is in photo, but says A04S-9248. Thank you all!

Hi, this is on eBay. Is she real? Thank you

 

The listing has already been reported to and removed by Ebay. "D8J-" is NOT a valid serial number prefix for ANY Coach bag and especially not for any 9023 Winnie.

In the future, please remember to INCLUDE THE SELLER'S NAME OR ID IN YOUR REQUESTS SO OTHER MEMBERS HERE CAN BE WARNED ABOUT SELLERS WHO ACCIDENTALLY OR KNOWINGLY TRY TO SELL FAKES.


ETA - I'm posting a blow-up of the fake Winnie in the Ebay listing. If anyone spots the fake in this photo with the D8J-9023 serial number, on Ebay or any other site, PLEASE post an authentication request here ASAP with all the details we need to report it. At the prices that genuine Winnies are selling for, it's just a matter of time before some gullible buyer gets ripped off unless the seller is honest.
