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.

S5B is a common invalid prefix seen on fakes. All the other concerns you have are correct. The bag is fake.

ltc_988 and her store, designerforless988 sells enough Coach that she should recognize such obvious signs of a fake.

ETA: My records show reports of multiple fakes in March, 2013 and July, 2015 that ltc_1988 listed.

ETA again: Here's a previous post where one of the seller's items was deemed fake:

In addition to the POS for $500 that SheriDahlin asked about, cynthia-5678 also has this $300 one:

I bought a Park Leather Hobo (F31323) on eBay. I already have one in a different color which I bought on eBay about a year ago. There are some differences. I'm worried that the new one is fake. The leather is not as soft but it might just not be "broken in" yet. The stitching and hardware seem to be good quality, but the lining seems cheaper. But I've bought authentic Factory bags before that felt like they had cheaper linings. What concerns me is that the hang tags are not authentic. It came with 3 different hangtags and none of them are the style that is supposed to come with the bag. And the Creed patch does not include a serial number. Thank you for your help!!!

After I saw that piece O plastic crap- I came upon 3-4 more plastic looking POS FAKEFAKE briefcases. As discussed earlier this week
WAKE UP EBAY, You have gone beyond Comatose!!IS THERE ANY BRAIN ACTIVITY? ANYONE HOME???
I don't have time to Police ebay. I should not have to. They should pay each one of us a percentage for each Fake SNAD Item WE find. I am totally disgusted ...
I'm.tired of no response from ebay,when I report fakes on ebay & on TPF! Tired of paying outrageous FEEs as a seller !! ebay makes a mockery of us honest sellers that investigate research & authenticate our items! ebay gives us all a bad rep, but... is etsy or Bonanza Poshmark etc any better? Not that I have seen..Buyers feel insecure(and they should) sellers lose money because they are not trusted..
Ebay should pay us a percentage or some kind of compensation(ebay bucks?) Discounts? CASH??for each item we catch & report before they do..
NOW that would be some SERIOUS BANK!YOW!
THESE POS FAKE UGLY BAGS NEED TO BE GONE!! .
Please EXCUSE MY Ranting.:woot:

I can't multiquote..so BB & CATBIRD and whoever else responded ..YUP:throwup: CRAP-OLA!!
:smash::storm::pullhair: There are plenty more HORRID Bags out there.This one was just my tipping point....:bagslap::pokey: ..WHEW,. I feel so much bettah now..thanks for your support & assistance! I am always grateful for all of you on the COACH Thread.:urock:S.

I asked if the bag was genuine & if it was authenticated...this is the response( Two of her crap bags are on the hall of shame& links below)) SHOULD I SHARE??
Actually, I'm Waiting for ebay to remove.them. :tumbleweed: HA!HA!HA! When Pigs FLY?

her response to my query:
"It is not authenticated. It was my cousins bag and I have sold other things of hers here and had no problems. I will check and see if any one in my area to authenticate."

Refer Cynthia 5678 AKA cynthia-5678 here.

Her bags are fake and although she may have gotten away with selling fakes in the past, it's only because there are so many dishonest sellers that it's impossible to find and report them all.

But if she wants to keep her ebay account, she'd better do her homework. (And her 99% feedback score isn't good! Another neg could be the end of her selling career.)

OH NO!!! I was just coming on here to ask for an authentication of a bag that I bid on last minute on a whim-- and it's from Terrace Swing!!! I almost never buy anything off of Ebay but I'm stuck home recovering from surgery and I figured it wouldn't hurt to look-- many of you probably know how that goes! In any case, I haven't paid yet so I'd like someone to please look at this listing for me. It doesn't appear to be one of the listings already mentioned.

Coach Vintage 9927 Gray Willis Leather Cross Body Messenger Bag Handbag
seller: terrace_swing
listing: 371537064881

And if it's legit, should I pay for it (as obligated by the contract of bidding) or cancel somehow?

Lucky you! I forgot to bid on it. Nice price.
