This station bag looks a little suspicious to me. Please confirm it's a fake and I will report. Thanks.

Hello again!

Please authenticate this bag.
I believe the style number is 9935 Hadley Zip, but I bought 2 other minis at the same thrift store on the same day that turned out to be fake so I hope this one is not.

P.S. has anyone else had problems uploading photos directly to the forum? Every time I try it gives me an error whether or not I'm on my computer or phone..

This one looks ok, made around 1992 or 93.

I would like authenticity confirmation.

I purchased this bag at Goodwill online. I should have known better than to purchase it before I had asked for your opinion.

I think it is a fake. I don't know why except that it feels different than the vintage bags I have purchased. It is very lightweight and somewhat plastic feeling, however I do think that it's leather.

Do you know if Goodwill returns fakes?

Besides authenticating, Can someone give me the name of this bag?

As you were already told in the other thread, this bag is authentic. I have one of these. The leather is lighterweight than some of the classics. I don't think it feels cheap or plasticky. It is a small hippie flap made in 2000.

As far as your Goodwill question, if I did buy a fake, I would make a big stink until they took it back. It is illegal to sell counterfeits.

 

[Christinern]

thank you whateve.

I do not have experience with the newer coach bags & thought that the leather was not 'coach like'. I am sure that they have made coach bags using different leathers, I just have not come across anything newer with this feel.

The older bags are heavy to carry around so this bag will be a nice treat in that respect.

I thought that since I mistakingly posted in the other thread that I could post my question also in this thread. Sorry about posting in 2 places.
Thanks, Christine

Hey all! Some authentication help would be amazing, thanks!

Alternatively, please let me know if the photos aren't clear enough or if you need anything else.

You're welcome. It's okay about posting in 2 places. The other thread is for items you know are authentic, just to get identification. In this thread we authenticate and will also identify or answer any other questions you have about your item. You didn't need to post the pictures again. You could have just linked to your other posts.

Good afternoon all. I have my suspicions about this bag and would like to ask for confirmation. Thanks.

Item: Coach Stewardess British Tan Shoulder Bag #9525 (p900)
Listing number: 361478749784
Seller: designerforless988 ltc_988(19318)
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Stewa...749784?hash=item5429cffe58:g:Ac0AAOSwoydWqmSl

Comments: Even if one ignores the leading letter "S" on the identifier "S5B-9525", the font of the "No", the seemingly contiguous perimeter frame around the identifier, and overall impression of the creed stamp causes me to have some concerns as it is inconsistent with the 1995 C-facility made Stewardess bag that I'm currently looking at.
