Older registration numbers, the ones with no letters, are not searchable and don't include the style number so don't waste time looking for a style 933 OR 0118.

Please post the measurements of the bag and a photo of the side of the bag either full or three-quarter view. That's all we need.

The measurements are 11.75 inches wide, 7.5 inches tall and 4 inches deep. I have attacehd the photos requested. If it is authentic do you know the name of this style?

Thanks

If one end of the zipper extends out a bit past the side of the bag it was called a Swagger and the style number was 9820. It's genuine and probably from some time between 1989 and 1993.

Hope that helps! :smile1:

Item: Carly in red leather
Listing number: 300533592354
Seller: kim_p307vd
Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300533592354#ht_500wt_1156
Comments: I read, from another seller trying to push an overpriced red Carly, that the Carly is highly faked. Is this true, an ulterior motive, or both? ;-) /// My concern is also caused by something that may actually be a quality control issue / misalignment flaw: left side of pic #2; the extra leather trim is misaligned. I don't usually see that from Coach and I have a Carly already. I may be a naiive dreamer but I'd hope Coach wouldn't make that! (Even though the visual of this might bug me, I'm considering this used option for its used factor in pricing.) /// Usually I know Coach, and only Coach well, and I usually don't feel the need to authenticate C. beyond my own checking/knowledge, but perhaps that was more 2005/6 re: quality or perhaps I've just had a ton of luck with my C. purchases. I also wonder if higher-faked Coaches are higher-quality fakes??? (Like Guccis look good in photos IMHO.) /// If you're put-off or curious why the seller mentions that it is not patent, it is due to photo #1; I asked about patent. I thought, heck why not make sure this is not a fake with patent, that would be an easy qualifier, JIC, even though I was pretty sure it was just the camera flash, as another pic already there made it look like regular leather. Just thought, why not?! Perhaps I was trying to find an excuse not to spend more $, haha. (I didn't think she would type this stuff on her photos. Hehe.)

Thanks in advance. Simpler replies are highly welcome, not just answers to my many other ponderments above, haha.

BTW I've been feeling better since my last sick-day post! That was rough but I'm still not sure if it was just my tired eyes causing me to miss the pleats or what.

Good luck to everyone else ... I'll check back later/soon!
