Item Name: Vtg Coach Madison clutch
Item No:131621443623
Seller: carrottop1953
Link: http://m.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Vintage...ible-Clutch-/131621443623?nav=WATCHING_ACTIVE

Seller for item #2 said she or he used back photos of original seller who sold to her.

They all look ok.

Just a comment: carrottop1953 is an experienced enough seller to know that she shouldn't be infringing on the original seller's images without that seller's permission.

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.

I would describe the colors as chocolate and brass. The lining is solid dark brown with lines. In the photos is it difficult to see the metallic design and threading.

Editing to add, I am also hoping for Authentication info, because I have read that smaller bags will not have numbers on the Creed patch. I am hoping someone with more experience can confirm if this may be the case with this purse?

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.

I reported it to ebay, but it seems they never remove anything...One would think HAHA! ebay would AT LEAST check out a report when it involves a newbie seller.

Yes, the signature beaded top handle pouch is authentic.

And I believe the style number is 40278. (I'm not positive of the style number because 40278 appears to be traditional signature fabric. I can't find a style number for the one with metallic details.)

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!

Really?!?! I didn't know that. (What's a Needle employee?)

Thank you so very much! Now I have a place to start. I would like to find a possible matching wallet if possible. I believe my sister paid $18 for it, and there is slight damage to one of the very bottom beads. Otherwise it is very well kept.

Here's a matching wristlet, sometimes used as a wallet:

(I searched "Coach beaded wallet"). You'll have to weed to different items but it's a start.

Coach contracts with Needle to handle their chats. https://www.needle.com/
The chat independent contractors work from their home whenever they want to. They also get free gifts from the company they needle for. Someone on here got a few Asian exclusives if I remember correctly.

Interesting - sounds like Coach is actually using a few people who know what they're talking about. That's a very positive sign!

Thank you again! I have learned so much today. I am so happy that Coach (or the independent chat rep.) lead me here.

It's a genuine Dinky Bag Spectator, probably from 1990 or 1991, style 6375

Can I get an opinion? I saw this at a thrift store and didn't get it. These are the only two pictures I took. I didn't see any problems with the bag other than this weird zipper pull. The pebbling was pretty rough but I've seen that on some authentic bags I think.
