Item: Girly Nappa Clip Hobo 8928 (China 2003)
Seller: Savers $20
Dimensions: 12" wide, 6.5" high in the center, 1" deep

Comments: I returned the fake british tan willis today and found this beauty instead. It is made of lamb nappa and feels incredibly soft. It came with a little Coach booklet from 2001 in the pocket.

Please authenticate and let me know if you need more pictures, thank you!

The bag is almost pristine. The only condition problem is that it's missing the hangtag. So far I haven't been able to find a pic of the hangtag but I am guessing that it was some kind of special tag to match the shiny clip hardware. If anyone has a pic of the hangtag I would appreciate seeing what it looks like, thanks!

It's authentic and looks gorgeous! I think the name is Nappa Clip Hobo.

In fact, it was discussed here: http://forum.purseblog.com/coach/what-is-this-hobo-looking-bag-called-148027.html

There aren't enough pictures to authenticate it but it's probably okay.

Please accept this caveat in the manner it's intended. Do not contact buyers of fakes. Although your intentions are honorable, if you're reported to ebay, you risk getting naru'ed. I am aware of trusted members who have seen that happen to them.

I haven't found a picture of the hangtag either, even Coach's own website photos don't show it. Chances are that it had either a red leather one or silver metal to match the hardware. You can probably call Coach and get a silver one.

I hope you're not reporting things like this to Ebay based on just one bad picture. I don't even understand what made you think it might be fake.

If you don't have SOLID proof AND confirmation from one of the authenticators here, please don't report it and don't ever contact the buyer. Not just because of the possibility of getting NARU'd, but also the very real possibility, especially in a case like this, where you may have caused a ton of grief for a seller with a perfectly genuine bag.

JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT, OR DON'T RECOGNISE IT, OR THE SELLER TAKES LOUSY PHOTOS, DOESN'T MEAN IT'S FAKE.

Thanks for checking! I've seen it called the Girlie Nappa Clip Hobo and the Nappa Clip Hobo, do you know which is correct?

I don't have that specific one on file but it has a Denim twin just a few numbers away that was called a Girlie Clip Denim Hobo, so yours is probably a Girlie Clip Nappa Hobo.

And I checked the link BeenBurned posted, it looks like it may have used the same thin enameled metal hangtag that the Girlie Hobos used. Coach was fiddling around with several different hangtag styles back then.

Item: Navy blue court
Item number: 92775277
Seller: roadkillvintage
Link: http://www.etsy.com/listing/92775277/vintage-navy-coach-satchel-handbag
Comments: I've notice some court have an adjustable strap with trigger snaps and some courts have non adjustable straps with the plain straps. Are these indications of fakes? This one has a non adjustable strap. Thanks!
Click to expand...

No, not at all, Coach changed the strap design and length on the Court Bag at least once that I know of, And sometimes a strap may simply have been replaced. Anything that's easily changeable like a strap or hangtag should never be used as the primary proof when authenticating.

I don't see any problems with the bag in the listing.

Fake.

Edited to add:
Grr! I was going to comment earlier about my feelings toward sellers who use authentic props to "prove" the legitimacy of their fakes. And in fact, this seller, tntbaseball buys them. This was one of the purchases:
