Hello, I was referred to this forum by the Coach website. I was given a gift a beautiful bag secondhand today. Don't know if it is authentic, but I hope so because I think it is gorgeous. I am hoping someone can help me by identifying the family / style / design name of this bag? It does have a stamp that says Made In China, but there is no number. I was told by the Coach website, smaller bags may not have numbers. I am hoping I may be able to find similar matching pieces, like a wristlet or wallet, etc.? Please forgive my photography. I was also unable to get a photo of the inside. Thank you for any help! :) https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bwa5TGMYAHSeNDczcmpMM01TS3FwUlhCN2dOTGxXOFFXTlpz https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bwa5TGMYAHSedkJNak0zdm11OVA0YkZnV3AtX2ktRVljNV9j https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bwa5TGMYAHSeN1B5dkgzMGRVS2NNYW0yWTZoSnhTUXpMUGpV
Wow! Coach recommends TPF?

Your pictures aren't available for us to see. You'll need to either save them to your computer as JPG and upload them using the paperclip icon in the reply box or you can upload them to a photohosting site such as photobucket and post the IMG links.

ETA: Actually I was able to see one of your images. I believe the bag is an authentic top handle pouch but I'd like to see a picture of the lining and the made in China tag to confirm.

Hello BeenBurned. Thank you! Yes, On the Coach website I was live chatting with a Coach representative and asked if they could tell me the style of the purse from a photo. She gave me a link to this website. I know zero about designer accessories. Tomorrow I will attempt photos of the inside using sunlight. Its a small purse and I am not the most tech savy. Thanks again!

I've never seen a courier in this color before. Is it legitimate?

I just want to comment on the part in red. (I think the bag is authentic but it's not my era (area) of expertise so I'll defer to Whateve and Hyacinth on that.)

The seller may not have a return policy for buyer's remorse but if you were to file a SNAD dispute (and it is SNAD), her no-return policy is moot. "No returns" only holds with accurately described and accurately disclosed listings assuming that it IS indeed SNAD.
An update on the wonky Brown/Black/USA/Turkey`SNAD Lulas Legacy..
I contacted seller & she sent me a return label for first class mail. First class max weight is 13 ounces which doesn't work on a medium priority box.I So I have written 3 messages to seller, asking for a priority return label OR should I just go ahead & print out my own label & then she will reimburse me? I should have opened a case.Even if they were typos, sellers need to reread & preview their listings. I'm torn between opening a case NOW so I am sure I will be reimbursed for return shipping OR just shipping it back and hope seller doesn't try to screw me out of postage...
UGH!!

BB, I saw you posted in Hall of Shame in response to Suzystore's MADE IN KOREA bag.
....She says she purchased this one from COACH.??

Check out the pocket zipper . and There is no creed. It looks very cheezy to me.
What a way to start an ebay Biz...
Yup, that zipper didn't look right nor did the rivets on the handles. But NSP is the briefcase expert and wanted someone else to check it out.

I think these newbie sellers go to the thrift store, see creeds on bags and assume creeds make a bag authentic.

NONE of that bag's details are right, and ESPECIALLY not for something supposedly made in 1995! Coach wasn't using details like that in Nineteen-SEVENTY-five! The seller either has serious memory problems or is a lying sack of ****. My money is on the second option.

Please report.
