Item: Authentic Vintage Coach Black Leather Large Bucket Shoulder Bag Purse Handbag

Seller: nakam_yasu
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-V...cket-Shoulder-Bag-Purse-Handbag-/291727377737
Comments: Are the measurements accurate?
They are all authentic. #1 is probably a drawstring sac medium; Coach's measurements are 10 1/2 x 12 x 5 1/2.
#2 is probably a duffle drawstring. I don't have an ad picture for this style but the measurements seem close.
#3 is a duffle sac. Coach's measurements are 10 1/2 x 13 x 9.
 
More pictures aren't necessary.

Although the creed picture is completely illegible, the seller states the serial number and it's a known fake.

ETA: Do not buy from hunting1970!!

She has another fake with the same invalid serial number of 308-9875.

Thanks BeenBurned. It seems that the original listing has been removed, but the seller has relisted the fake bag..

Hello again and thanks in advance.

Item: Top Handle pouch?
Size: About 9 x 4 x 3 inches.

Comments: I got this cutie at a local thrift shop, I am 99.9 % positive it is authentic, but I have not seen many items with this print. No creed inside, just the little tag on the seam.

It's genuine. The style was called a Signature Stripe Lozenge Top Handle Pouch, style 41423.
 
I went thrifting today and found four pieces that I hope are authentic. This is the first. If it's authentic, what is it called? It has snaps on both ends of the zippers, pockets on both sides, and one zipper pocket inside. It measures approximately 8" high, 10.75" long, and 3.5" wide. Thank you for taking a look, experts! :flowers:

Lozenge top handle pouch style 41423.

ETA: Sorry. I was playing catchup and responded before reading all the responses. Hyacinth beat me to the punch and included the correct style name.
