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.

I didn't find the bag in a new place, but I did find the original (now removed) images of the listing here on gem: https://gem.app/product/coach-vintage-winnie-top-handle-bag-d8j. Many more images, including creed.

I actually saw the ebay listing before it was taken down. I don't remember the seller's name, only that it began with the letter "d" and they are located in Acworth, GA.
If it's needed, here's the creed photo from the gem site that ConnieinSeattle linked above.

GREAT detective work, everyone! Thanks!
 
Hi Authenticators,

I think I may have a fake here as I can’t seem to find any info at all. The colored zip is particularly throwing me off. Can you advise please.

Style - I have no idea
Color - Navy
Size - 29cm x 23cm x 8.5cm
Bought from - Vinted UK
Seller - annelloyd100

Any help would be much appreciated.

Good Morning all!
Is this case authentic? I haven't seen one like it, and then debated about it too long, so someone else is the lucky winner if it's authentic. It's a style I'd love to find. Do you have a style number/name, year, photo, etc to share? Thanks so much!

Item: RARE Vintage Coach Chubby Case Cosmetic MAHOGANY Leather USED A FEW TIMES
Seller: thegreentrunk

It looks fine but I don't know the style number.

It probably isn't called "Chubby Case" but is likely from around the same era as this:
