Hi. Thanks for your comment. It is actually from a facebook group, this group is for people to sell and buy bags and i saw two handbags which i am interested, hence i get more pictures from the seller and posted here for your opinion. I apologize for not providing additional information as i did not get any additional pictures from the seller. For this shopping tote let me contact the seller for picture of the price tag. Thanks

We still need the links - if someone on Facebook is selling fakes they need to be reported.

And I strongly suggest you look for another seller.

Please authenticate this coach wallet for meView attachment 2875516View attachment 2875517View attachment 2875518View attachment 2875519View attachment 2875520

Many thanks in advance!

We recommend being very careful with wallets because some are pretty well faked, but this one looks good.

Thanksfor your feedback!

Jane_swc:

After seeing the subsequent Coach bags you have posted for authenticating, I am rescinding my authentication of this wallet.

Please don't consider it "authenticated," and please do not try to sell this item. And if you're the buyer, I recommend against buying it.

I don't know where you're getting your inventory but I suggest you fire your supplier.

Please do the same for the wallet. (Before I read this post, I updated my response from January 27 regarding the wallet you posted.)

Please post a link to the Facebook group.

YAY...great minds think alike...and have similar tastes

It's one of the few items I've ever found at a Goodwill in California. I'm sure you got a greater bargain!

I'm not able to comment on the listing in question but I will say that your designer closet ( your*designer*closet ) did sell this fake, a signature bag with a creed describing a US made leather bag:

It seems to be ok although I wish the creed and serial number were a bit clearer. But there aren't any visible problems.

That's absolutely RIDICULOUS. I own that exact bag, it's a Scribble Stitch File Bag, mine was made in December 2004 and has a serial number M04K-1858, same as yours, There's absolutely NO DOUBT that the one in your listing is genuine. I've owned 4 Scribble Stitch bags and the matching wristlet and that style is almost impossible to fake just because of the quality and precision of the embroidery. I've only seen one fake where they tried to duplicate the embroidery and the crooks did such a lousy job that a blind man could have spotted it.

And it IS very rare, I doubt if I've seen more than 3 or 4 of the File Bags on Ebay in the last 8 or 9 years. The Pocket Flaps and the 2 Satchels show up occasionally but the Flie Bags are very scarce. I'm pretty sure ALL the Scribble Stitch styles were listed in the catalog as Limited Editions.

Your buyer is 100 percent wrong.

Just wanted to update you, the buyer is not responding any more, so I guess all's well.
Would be nice to get a confirmation from her though!
THanks again.

Hi everyone!
I just won a couple auctions, and I'm waiting on a creed for one and dimensions for both. (And yes, I know, shame on me for not getting the okay before bidding but I haven't paid yet!)

I don't see any obvious problems, but I'm not an expert on newer Signature styles.

From the pictures it looks like the Standard (smaller) version #9860, with measurements a tick under 10x8 inches. I don't see any problems but the photos are really bad so I'll cover my butt and say probably genuine.

The ebay item number is the listing number.

This is an authentic Berkeley field bag. They don't come up very often. I think it is gorgeous! Every seller is different in what bids they will accept. Some sellers will get insulted if you offer too little. I think that a 15% to 20% discounted offer is reasonable to start. If you look at the seller's old listings, she originally had it for sale for $174.95.
