So far I love this forum as I just developed an unhealthy urge for beautiful authentic bags...

It's authentic too.

In the future, we request that you use the posting format requested in post #1 of the thread as it's helpful in searches, both so there aren't duplicate posts on the same listing but also, to search for seller IDs and items. http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/authenticate-this-coach-694619.html#post19464109

The first picture is a stolen stock photo and the second picture, even if her own doesn't show a legible creed. In addition to the creed, we need to see back, side and a clear closeup of the horse and carriage logo plaque.

Hi Hyacinth, BeenBurned & all,
Here's more picture of the bag. (Thanks to BeenBurned for the guide, coz Im still new here)

That's all the pics she gave me.

- Browse thru Coach Homepage Website but cant find the colour as shown.
- Visited to 2 Coach Boutique in Singapore to make sure, still cant find the same colour. However, at times, Spore Coach doesnt carry the same items as in US.

Seeking your expertise on the bag whether it's authentic & should I get it.
Thanks.

Sheesh! Even when asked, she didn't include a picture of the creed or plaque. It appears to be okay but if you purchase, fund the payment with a credit card for further protection and post the additional pictures here so we can look at them.

That's great information, thank you!

katev, I am the original owner of that bag in black. Mine has the serial number H9J-7406. I loved that bag and wore it just about every day for a couple years. I had one coworker at the time who always admired it for its clean look. I just recently brought it out again. Mine has a couple very small white spots on the nylon, and I can't seem to get them out. Any suggestions?

Both look okay to me. Other opinions are welcome.

Thank you so much!

Well, I am planning to wash mine but I am concerned because it is a light color and I once a white satin bag and got some strange colored spots. I think from the adhesive used for the white leather trim. But since your bag is black I think that wouldn't be a big worry. I will let you know how mine comes out after I wash it. Thanks for letting me know that it's a great bag!

It's called a Legacy Leather Large Pocket Tote and was made in 2006, the original price was $798 US.

1. Those leather teardrop swatches raise a red flag but the other pictures in the listing are too distant and blurry to see much. I don't know whether the bag came in the color shown and without better pictures, I can't authenticate either way.

Maybe someone else has another opinion.

2. I'm dizzy from the blurry pictures. I can't tell anything from those pics. I certainly wouldn't suggest anyone bid or buy without clear closeups of the bag front, back, HAC plaque and creed.

Thanks. I think they use blurry pictures on purpose to keep from getting reported.

Thank you for that info. In the future I will follow the correct suggestions for posting, I appreciate the heads up, and please forgive my beginner status. Someone else mentioned the "bullseye" imprint in the upper righthand corner of the creed indicating the bag came from an outlet. Are some coach bags made specifically for outlets? I received another coach in the mail today, without that stamp, but my Legacy does have it. I don't know how to upload photos yet but Im trying to figure it out so I can post this new bag correctly...thanks again!!!
