Hi. I am new to the forum. I did a search but could not find this seller. I recently bought this and the leather just does not feel like my other items that I have purchased at Coach stores. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to tPF!

The bag in the listing looks okay but I wonder why postalconnect213 has all these incomplete listings. Some of those items have been listed for 3 days already and the listings are still "coming soon."

Please wait for other opinions on the seller.

Comments: I honestly don't know about these two purses. I have been out of town with no internet. My husband won the wrong auction. Not complaining...he is a sweetie. I would have rather had these authenticated before we won them. TIA -Angie

Thanks BB for such a quick response. I did find postalconnect213 in this thread and that bag was deemed authentic. After buying I looked at alot of their feedback and it looks like seller buys bags and then flips them. I hope that it is authentic b/c I really like the bag.

Both look fine. I bet Hyacinth or DemRam can chime in with the names of the styles.

Both genuine, and both from the late 1990s Sonoma line. The tan one is called a Small Full Flap Natural Grain and the brown one is a Nubuc Full Flap.

Coach has used a wide variety of leathers with different textures on their bags. The incomplete listings may be "placeholders" posted during some kind of special price deal by Ebay but I don't know if something like that was happening recently.

One thing worries me about the bag though, the plant code doesn't fit the creed statement. It may just be a mistake but I'm definitely going to look at those other listings. Do any sellers know if there's been a recent deal on listings especially under $50?

I'm looking for a vintage coach and got two bags which I thought both of them look good. Haven't decide which to buy, maybe both?

And my friends introduced me here to get them authenticated. Would you please help me with that, Thanks a lot!!!

I'm a bit worried about the first one, for two reasons. The plant code looks like the letter "T" and I don't remember ever seeing that before and I can't be 100 percent sure the bag is authentic. A better photo of the creed stamp would help but it's hard getting a camera inside those smaller bags. The second problem is the seller himself, his extended record of Negatives and Neutrals at Toolhaus.org shows a long history of items that are in worse condition than described - in fact I had the same kind of experience with that seller STATION_85 a few years ago and will never buy from them again and will NEVER recommend anyone else do so either. Please read his customers' comments:

The second bag is a Pocket Purse, not a City Bag - anyone expecting a City-Bag-sized purse is going to be very disappointed since this one is only about 9x5. With light-colored bags like this you always want to get more photos especially of high-wear areas like the base. And again, a clear photo of the creed stamp is really needed to be sure the bag's authentic.
