Hi! I'm looking to buy a bag for the summer and am interested in these two. Do they look authentic?

Item 1: Coach Leather Hobo Handbag Shoulder Bag Black Classic Vintage Purse Small
Seller and site where listed: florida_sunshine429 on ebay
Link


Item 2: Coach Soft Black Leather SoHo Handbag Purse NICE
Seller and site where listed: blueridgepickers on ebay
Link

Item 3: Coach Convertible Crossbody y2k Vintage Shoulder Bag Black Leather F10989
Seller and site where listed: GracedInGlory on ebay
Link

A better creed picture is needed for #2 in order to authenticate. #1 is probably okay; the creed picture isn't completely readable. #3 looks good.

I think it's okay but would like a second pair of eyes on it. @houseof999

FWIW, all (or nearly all) examples of this item were from Japanese sellers and sites and that makes me nervous but there's a difference in yours that makes me think yours is authentic vs. another from Japan that I believe to be fake.(I don't want to be too specific - the fakes are already too close!)

So just curious, there are a lot of bags on eBay that are in Japan. In your experience, a lot of fakes come from there?

Hello all, I am interested in buying one of these Whitney bags after the other one I had bid on was scooped by another at the last minute. If someone could let me know if they are genuine, I'd be very grateful.

There are and they're both vintage styles as well as newer styles......Although I don't think Japanese sellers are purposely and knowingly selling fakes, they don't seem to be knowledgeable in what to look for, don't verify authenticity of items before listing and have a "suppliers" of many newer styles that aren't trustworthy.

My recommendation is to verify authenticity independently and don't depend on their assurances.

Thank you. I hunger for an ergo 9033 and there are so many in Japan. If I ever pull the trigger, I will def verify before spending money.
