Just an FYI, they post the CoA with the Qcode on it which usually has a full picture of the creed. #2 and #3 do have creed pictures. No idea if real or not and I am on my desktop otherwise I would post them for you.

That said, I have seen the CoAs on GW marked authentic and the bags were not authentic in any way. Like very obviously, made in Korea level of obvious, fake bags. So don't rely on those, especially if the bag is spendy. They will not refund you if they have a CoA but the bag is fake. I've taken a few risks on like $20 bags but if it's $200, check here and risk someone else seeing your bag.

Maybe the QR code does take you to a site with more pictures, but personally, I don't click on links unless I know and trust the site.

If sellers want to purchase COAs from companies, those sellers need to show outsiders the pictures that are needed for US to verify authenticity. We shouldn't have to nor be expected to go to some company's website to determine if they are right in their opinions.

ETA: Ebay allows sellers to upload 24 pictures to listings so there's no reason that every picture isn't added to the listing.

Oh I agree with you. They should be posting it on the auction listing. It is lazy AF to not do so.

I was just giving a FYSA because people don't know the Qcode will link to more pictures.

Hello authenticators! I bought a red vintage Coach Ergo 9033 bag before checking its authenticity. I wanted to see if you all could help me again. It looks authentic. Please let me know if possible.

I'm sorry for not including it. I thought the listing was gone when something has been bought. Yes, that's the link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2355523581...&campid=5335828332&customid=&siteid=0&mkevt=1

Thank you for including it.

Hi again! For this one, I'm just plain curious because it raises so many questions. It looks like a Coach Dinky 9375 but apparently the straps were remade as per seller's comments. I'm just not sure how it could have been remade so well if it really is an authentic piece. Can I please get it authenticated? Thank you in advance, as always :)

Greetings! This thread is always such a rabbit hole for me! I just searched for Coach water buffalo to see examples of what the leather looks like and among other things found one of my pics used as an example of an authentic bag (completely unrelated to water buffalo but on the same page from 2019) and it made me smile. I love this group even if I haven't been on here much the past couple of years (major life event dealing with my aging mother). Anyways...

Could someone please authenticate this passport holder for me? I've seen several listings for the same/similar item and some say water buffalo leather -- which I'll admit it seems smoother (and maybe a bit tougher?) than the usual Coach leather and the color is not the typical mahogany brown. 5 1/2" x 4 1/2"IMG_3799.JPGIMG_3800.JPEGIMG_3801.JPEGIMG_3802.JPG

It looks fine but I can't say for sure whether or not it's water buffalo.

Last time I missed out on another bag so decided to take a chance.
Think it's OK but I always like to get the experts opinions.

Thank you.20240613_124747.jpg20240613_124814.jpg20240613_125928.jpg20240613_125942.jpg
