I have no idea of the type or anything on this and would greatly appreciate it, but mostly I would like to get it authenticated. Pictures were taken by me just a few minutes ago.

Thanks a bunch for any help! :-)

It's a Chelsea optic hobo and is authentic. Your bag is the larger size. There was a smaller (10990) size also.
 
Item: Cream Leather Coach Purse
Item #: 300456928745
Seller: davemn2655
Listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300456928745

I thought this looked enough like a white(?) audrey to chance $135 (just bought it) and I just hope it's truly in mint condition, but wanted to get your opinion on authenticity too.

It's hard to see much detail from those pics. I would request a clear, closeup readable picture of the creed, better pictures of the bag, and closeups of the logo plaque, hardware, and hangtags.

Hi: I received this bag today and wanted to post pics for authentication (fingers crossed). I think/hope it's a bone audrey. came with a few marks but that's ok I can clean it up as long as it's geniune. Here are my photos, the creed pic still isn't great and it seems really lightly pressed for some reason.

Also it did have the long strap but I don't like it so I took it off...please advise if you need pics of that. Thanks.

Forgot one...

Looks fine!
 
I'm posting this here for another opinion. I believe the bag being questioned is authentic but a second opinion is always helpful.

Someone asked about this bag on the ebay boards and although the text on the creed seems to have run-on words, I've seen similar creeds on authentic bags.

Here are some pics posted by the OP.

I THINK it's authentic, it's just some of the stamping/sewing on the creed that leaves me a bit iffy.

EDIT: I will say that the bubbling/wrinkling of the strap leather doesn't make me feel great either... as I don't recall that being a side effect of those bags.

Here's another listing for the same bag, authentic and I see the same run-on words on the creed:

It wasn't the run-on that I had noticed, but I did see the same concern point in this bag in the other, so I'd guess it was just part of how they were stamping them at the time (and the sewing as well).

I'd still be worried as the buyer what's made that strap so shoddy (leather separating from inner layer between the leather pieces) but I'm willing to say I think this is authentic.

I've seen the misalignment and slightly cut off C pattern on other bags with curves. On some curved bags, it has to deviate slighty toward the bottom, just based on the cut and shape of the piece of fabric.
 
It's really hard to tell whether the bag is okay because the pictures are so blurry.

If you can get the seller to take some clearer pictures (macro) of the creed, the hardware, straps and center seams, it would help.

We also need clear pictures of the wallet, embossed imprints, stitching, hardware and inside.

Thank you! I've requested some better photos from the seller. I'll let you know if she sends any.
Thank you, again!
