Item: RARE Vintage Sheridan Coach purse messenger bag willis black brown
Listing number: 130660094618
Seller: freshtafauna
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130660094618&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123
Comments: Seller says the creed says: "This is a coach bag, it is made out of completely natural clove tanned cowhide the veins and wrinkles are natural markings characteristic of full grain leathers" and the serial number is 501-08. I know that isn't a valid serial number but it could be possible that some of the numbers are obliterated. The seller also said that she couldn't read the entire creed. Didn't the Sheraton bags have the other creed about the leather specially treated to maintain its appearance? Did they ever make a Sheraton in this style?
thanks

1- we don't recommend that seller under ANY circumstances because of their Feedback record at Toolhaus. But that bag is genuine, the first letter is a J and what looks like the left side of a U is an illusion

2- How old do you think it is? And how large? Quite a few larger keychains now list for $98 and even more. It's not a good idea to use price as a basis for figuring out authenticity.

3- Genuine Bedford Flap

4- There's no way to tell what it's supposed to be, the color looks very washed out by the lighting or the exposure. Don't depend on how colors look on your screen.

It's not a Sheridan, it's a Korean-made fake. And the seller is tap-dancing around what the creed actually says because it probably includes bad grammar and punctuation and misspellings. It's as phony as a 3-dollar bill. The 5-digit serial number is exactly what's stamped. And I guarantee it says Made in Korea right underneath the creed. Those oversize zipper pulls with the Coach name are a dead giveaway.

Thanks. I assumed the keychain was older because the listing describes it as vintage. But even if it is newer, the keychains that are $98 are the Tony Duquette designs, which have jewels. To me, this one looks like it wouldn't retail for that much, but that is just my opinion.

Thank you. I thought it looked fake.

Sorry, I found a flashlight and it is a C. Re the shoulder strap - it has a buckle to adjust length, and both ends are sewn into a seam that us hidden below the top of the open back pocket.

It also has a navy leather tag on a short chain, with Coach embossed on both sides.

Hyacinth said:
Can you double check the third digit to see if it's a C or a D? And is the strap fastened at the sides, or on the back of the bag?
