You posted the wrong link to her auction, but style number 99999 was often used by Coach for sample and pre-production styles. We sometimes don't recommend buying them but we don't want to see them reported as fakes either. The one in the photo is probably genuine but there's no way to verify it.

This style apparently made it into production:

I thought you might be interested in the response I got from Linda's Stuff:

Hi!

Thanks so much for your interest. Unfortunately, as we run on consignment, the previous owner did not provide us with that information, and I am not familiar with COACH style codes. We do, however, guarantee authenticity or your money back. I apologize I could not be more help!

Hugs,
Stacy

You would think that after all this time they would take a minute to learn a thing or two.

In the link to the production item you found, the seller says this:

Most of Coach handbag's designs either have floral or bow detailing and comes in satin or patent leather. That said, this coach chelsea suede hobo bag then shows uniqueness among his other creations in terms of materials used and thus, freshness from the usual.

:wtf:

WTF is she talking about????

Floral or bow detailing? On a COACH???? And satin ???

No wonder those idiots can't recognize fakes when they see them. Way to go, LINDAS STUFF !!!

Whateve, you may want to stick with sellers who are at least reasonably capable of putting their hands in their back pockets and finding their arses from now on. :laugh:

Ugh! Linda (or Stacy or whoever is writing) is FOS!! Is she talking about Coach or Kate Spade?

The fact is that every one of her listings has an "authenticity statement" where she claims (and this is copied directly from that Coach listing):
Authenticity

Everything we sell is 100% guaranteed authentic. We authenticate every item on our site before it is listed. We stand behind the authenticity of our items with a money-back guarantee. We appreciate your trust!

She does NOT authenticate every item before it's listed or she wouldn't have had hundreds of fakes listed over the years. And if she does have them authenticated, she needs to fire the authenticator and hire someone who knows the brands.

Ok it's authentic yay!... One last thing the pattern at the back of the bag isn't centred is that how coach bags are.... I would have thought they would have perfect symmetry ?

Thx :)

What bag are you talking about?

Coaches have never had perfect symetry and never will, many bags have C patterns that don't match up perfectly, especially on the back. If you want perfection, be ready to pay a thousand dollars and up for it.

Sorry, it's fake. If you bought it, I hope you can get a refund.
