You'd have to ask the seller for a creed photo from that exact bag, there's no reason they can't supply one

The creed patch in the listing indicates made in 2002 but the one in the bag may have a different year code. It was called a Hamptons Leather Carryall.

(I probably shouldn't tell you, but these 540 pages are only the most recent. There are several THOUSAND more saved in the Archives. :faint: But you can probably use either the Search feature or the Pick The Authenticators' Brains feature if you need to go back that far.)

Thanks again and again! I managed to find the Archives and do a few searches, but where do I find the Pick the Authenticators' Brains feature - or am I already there? lol!

EEEEEEYYYEEWWW.

That horrible printed black & tan C lining is ALWAYS fake no matter what bag it's found in. The bag style is fake too and the style number 7044 is wrong and the entire serial number is invalid. Please report.

I doubt it very much.

Do you have any other photos? We especially need to see the inside and the creed patch and serial number. And can you please use the format requested i post #1 at the beginning of this thread so we can get more information on the bag and the seller?

Once in a while Coach DOES make mistakes and this looks like one of them. Other bags with incorrect creeds later determined to be fake have also had other problems but this one doesn't have any. All the details are right and the creed patch itself is genuine. Most of the time a "leather" creed in a fabric bag means fake but this is NOT one of them. That's why it's always important to have a second pair of eyes look at the item.

The outlet stamp on the creed probably means that the mistake was noticed and the bags sent to the outlets. This kind of mistake sometimes happened, like a few well-documented serial number mistakes, in new plants where English wasn't the native language.

Thanks your help before, Hyacinth. I read the guides you wrote for salearena, so I'm trying to shop a bit more critically.

Item: A discontinued legacy messenger (not sure of the exact name for this style)
Listing number: N/A
Seller: N/A
Link: http://imgur.com/i5vNT and http://imgur.com/7fEUp
Comments:

Item: Coach station bag
Listing number: 75684700
Seller: boxofhollyhocks
Link: http://www.etsy.com/listing/75684700/final-sale-vintage-coach-station-satchel and the seller sent me a photo of the creed: http://imgur.com/JDZkF
Comments: I'm not so sure with station bags. I've seen so much variation in them, which makes me question authenticity. This one's strap isn't adjustable, but I've seen some that have the adjustable buckle. Is it just the more recent models that have the adjustable strap? This one seems to have a shorter strap, whereas I've seen some with longer straps.

Comments: Auction already ended, but I am highest bidder. I don't usually purchase Coach bags so I can't tell if it's real or fake. I usually buy my Coach bags at Coach stores or outlets, not on ebay so please help :) Thanks in advance!

good grief, just reviewed the pics again, the interior color in one picture is different from the interior color shown with the creed. what the heck?!

It's authentic. The last picture makes it appear as though the lining is blue, probably as a result of the flash.
