Both look okay.

Note that the first one doesn't include the address book or the calendar inserts so you'll have to buy them. You can either get generic ones from Staples or Coach inserts from Coach or sellers.
 
Item: Coach Hamptons leather bag
Comments: I bought this bag off ebay a few days ago. I posted the ebay link here and was advised by a member that the bag was real. Now I have received the bag and have some doubts. The metal used on the bag is good. The leather of the bag is very soft and smooth and the interior lining is made of thick cotton. However I am concerned about the stitchings. Since every posts and articles I've read online state that the stitchings should be 100% perfect my bag has good stitchings but not 100% perfect. In some small areas they are not even and not symmetrical. The interior stitchings are very good though.
I have since checked out other listings of the same style on ebayand they all look exactly the same (some looks not as authentic as my bag). Can someone please authenticate this bag for me?

The bag appears to be authentic.

Although stitching on Coach bags should be "decent" (and that's subjective), it often not perfect.

I don't see anything out of the ordinary on your bag.

Other opinions are certainly welcome.

I agree with BB. The bag is fine. Please don't rely on any "rules" in "authentication guides" you find online. Many of them have outdated or misinformation.

Stitching is just one detail to be looked at, in addition to other details of the bag. Stitching shouldn't be sloppy, but personally, I don't know if I've ever seen a bag with "perfect" stitching everywhere on the bag. You'll find that especially along seams, corners, folds, etc., the stitching may not be "perfect" because of the difficulty of sewing in these areas.

Thank you for your comments. I do feel it's authentic when I first received the bag. I have never seen replica of this style of coach bags and leather feels very soft. I became paranoid after reading more and more posts about what to watch out for when buying authentic coach bags. Much appreciated Been burned and Starrymaz!

Thank you so much!!!!!!! Happy Holidays to you!
You're both welcome!
 
My response with the style number implies authenticity. I would have made a comment that the item in that listing was fake if I thought it was. It looks fine.



The look okay although a clear picture of the creed should be shown in #1.

Thanks for your prompt reply. Please pardon my silliness. So sorry that I had not realize.
