You'll be fine.

You'll get an authentic bag as long as you get what's in the listing. I was merely posting to show that the seller has a flawed return policy (in violation of ebay rules) and had listed a fake recently.

And if for some reason you want to return the bag, you CAN do so for any reason at all -- even if it doesn't match your eye color!


Thanks BeenBurned for the assurance, that bag is a keeper! [emoji7]

1- genuine Court Bag

2- genuine Dakota Fargo Satchel, style 4203 from around 1991-92

3- Backpacks aren't one of my styles so it's much better if you wait for the creed, unless Whateve is comfortable authenticating it without the photo. They're well-faked and the crooks usually get most of the basic details right.

4- genuine Binocular Bag, style 9853, same time period as the Dakota satchel

5- if the serial number on the black one is H7C-9017, it's a genuine Abbie Zip. The tan one looks like a 9935 Hadley Zip from 1993.

The pretty green one is a Regina Bag.

I don't see any problems with #3 if the creed checks out. The drawstring ends look good, and often counterfeiters screw that up.

Thank you!

All appear authentic.
The first one looks like it comes with the original tissue paper.
The last one is a demi turnlock.
 
Hello, fellow Coach fans!

I'm searching for a good bag to take to and from the office every day that can stand up to the rigors of a daily commute on the subway and frequently inclement weather. I love my vintage Stewardess - thanks again for the authentication on that a few years back - but need something a bit bigger.

If one of you has a moment, could you please take a look at the following?

Comments: Is this the larger Plaza Court style? The others I've seen online seem to be several inches smaller.

TIA for taking a look!

All of them seem to be genuine. #2 is just a Plaza Bag Large, NOT a Court Bag.

As for #3 - sellers make mistakes. Don't ever expect names, dimensions, and especially the time of manufacture to be correct. How many 9-inch deep Willis Bags have you seen? The seller didn't get the serial number right either.
 
Hi ladies,

I thought I bought this, which I should've had authenticated before I purchased
Item Name: Lage Tan Coach Bucket Bag
Item No: 321863313331
Seller: dave56
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lage-Tan-Co...Ie8s5J5VS10rs4HY19FyY%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

But not authenticating beforehand didn't make a difference because I received this, which is clearly not the same bag (missing those stains, different serial #)
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?u...tt&th=1500a7578c002000&attid=0.3&disp=safe&zw
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?u...tt&th=1500a7578c002000&attid=0.1&disp=safe&zw

Can someone tell me what I ended up with and if it's real?
Thanks!!

Your Google links aren't working. You can't link to your email account, you have to save the photos to your computer or to a photo hosting site like Photobucket.

The seller's Feedback shows 3 Neutrals and 4 Negatives, all in the last month and for non-receipt and items in much worse condition than described. That's a sign that something has gone seriously wrong recently

Contact the seller, but from the recent FB I'd also suggest filing a SNAD dispute immediately. The item sounds like it was TOTALLY not as described. If the seller wants you to return it you shouldn't have to pay postage either.

Just tried uploading a couple pictures - let me know if they show up.
