Hi ladies,

Can you please have a look at this one? Thanks again

I think it is authentic. The plant code appears to be an "O" which would be a mistake. It matches creeds from the same time made at the C plant.
Beware. gabbyk2014 doesn't verify that her items are authentic before listing/selling.

She has this fake:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-B...293946?hash=item3d1429e0fa:g:POwAAOSwv9hW45I-

She also had several fakes that were reported and removed in October, 2015.

ETA: In case it diappears, here is the current fake:

I swear I never realized until I got on this forum how many coach fakes there are out there.

Can you have a look at this one also? I purchased it before the forum and the seller lied about its condition. I open a case not as described and ebay refunded me and told me to keep the bag. I put it on the shelf and forgot about it.

I think the plant code is ok, the Cs from that plant's creed stamp were very round and had the smallest opening of any 1990s plant code stamps. I can see the end of the line of the C in the photo.
