Don't buy from 10sweden67
The Coach bag is fake as is the yellow Juicy bag in her sold listings.

It sounds like you're accepting the loss. Please don't just eat the loss on the purchase of a fake.
File a dispute. The seller needs it on record that she sells fakes and if you allow her to get away with it, she'll continue to rip off others.

There aren't enough pictures in the listing to determine authenticity and one of the 3 pictures is a stolen stock photo.
In addition to this listing with a lack of pictures, I am not convinced that the seller uses her own photos in the listings.
Several of the listings use Coach's stock photo and the other pictures in the listings appear to have different backgrounds and photographing styles.
Edited to add: I should catch up on the responses before posting and repeating what was already said!

1st is authentic though I can't recall the actual "name". Made in the later 1980's -1993.
2nd is an authentic "Broadway Satchel" made earlier than the first one - probably early to mid 1980's.

Listing number: 180543499937
Seller: loboloco10
Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/COACH-Brown-Woma...SA_WH_Handbags
Comments: Have purchased but have not yet paid for. Caught the auction at the last min. My concern is that I have the 9219 in red leather, and it has the signature interior and was made in China. This says on the interior tag made in US. Any comments? Thanks!
SCHIENTIST, I hope you haven't paid for it yet.
That style and style number are from one of the Ergo lines but the earliest GENUINE Ergo I've found is from 1996, and the line wasn't officially introduced until 1997. There's some disagreement as to when the first Ergos actually came out, but 1994 just doesn't sound right. The earliest ones had style numbers starting with 90xx. The earliest 2nd-generation Ergos with 92xx serial numbers didn't come out until '02 and never would have had a 1994 date code.
Style number 9219 is listed as an Ergo Small Zip and is featured as "NEW" in my Holiday 2002 catalog.

Here is the link to the auction. I was a fool for not paying more attention to the signs, but I was not well informed at the time. The bag I bought was exactly the same as the one I sent pictures of earlier only in mahogany.

Thank you so much for your help and expertise. I really appreciate it. Carol
I forgot to list the reasons that I thought it was a fake after closely examining the bag. The closing was wrong -- instead of the side pockets having magnetic closures, each side pocket had one magnetic clasp and it closed over the top of the zipper; the lining is cheap and does not have the key ring; the zipper pull on the top of the bag was on backwards; the buckles on the sides of the bag do not lay flat; the leather that lines the top edges of the bag is pebbled as opposed to smooth; it does have YKK zippers but I learned that sometimes the fakes do; there is cardboard in the bottom of the bag to make it stiff; and the stitching on the bottom corners is not perfect. Hope this helps someone else. Thank you all.
I just posted this on the Bonanzle fakes thread:

This bag is a fake and the seller owes you a full refund. If she doesn't agree to it, file a dispute.
You should also add a comment to the feedback indicating that the seller has fakes. Hopefully future buyers will see it and be forewarned.
Do not buy from unicornandponys. In looking at the feedback, although the listings are no longer visible, it appears that this seller has ripped off quite a large number of buyers. There's no way based on quantities and selling prices that any Coach items were authentic.

Edited to add: It's important that you file a dispute immediately. You only have 45 days from date of purchase to open a dispute and you won the item on July 4. Today is 41 days.
