I'm kind of annoyed at this. Hoorah for eco friendly recycling, but there are plenty of folks out there already doing this, with authenticity!!! of course if UO wants to hire me with benefits to help authenticate, I suppose it's creating "jobs".

I know there are a few FB groups that try to make sure what's being sold on their pages is authentic, but a lot more that don't, and where the members haven't a clue or just plain don't care. At least with Ebay there's a removal process, but anyone buying from private sellers or sites had better know what they're doing or at least make sure they can return something if it's wrong.

The fakes makers must be VERY happy.

There was an Ebay listing removed that had Urban Outfitters in its name. At the time, I thought it was due to keyword spamming.

neat color combo. Did they make spectator Gracies?
On a side note, we have been having a discussion in the second-hand bargains thread about Madison colors. I have this set of color swatches but a few of us have colors that don't seem to be in this set. Was there another set of colors for a different season perhaps?

There were a lot more Madison colors and some were added or dropped every Spring & Autumn. I posted a few other colors here a while back but there may have been more:

As for the N code, non-US plants in the mid-90s often got codes screwed up, especially the Italian plant. That's mentioned in the Salearea Guides too.

Several Madison styles were briefly available in 2-tones.

Thank you! Speaking of 2 tone, do you think this is the original color for this bag?

Thank you so much for the expanded list of Italian Madison Colors! I've been calling my Royalton and Gracie Beechnut but now I am thinking that they are Maple, what is your opinion?! Thanks again!

Found this old gal last Friday at the Goodwill in Chelsea NYC for $19.99 plus tax. I cleaned her interior with a suede brush but decided to postone any rehab attempts until I’m sure she’s the real deal.

Item Name: Unknown. (mini briefcase?)
Dimensions: Approx. 13"L x 7"H x 2"W. Handle drop length is 4”
Comments: Black. No. 955-9424. Registration number glued on. Made in New York City, U.S.A. Double leather-covered handles. No exterior pockets. One leather open flap pocket inside. Suede (unlined) interior. Brass or brass-tone hardware. TALON zipper. Missing hang tag.

Thank you in advance for your assistance. Images follow.

I did read the begning of this post about adding
Item:
Listing number:
Seller:
Link:
Comments:

and ect, and I also read to go through previous post to see if "my bag" had already been authenticated. I read on one post that if a bag says "Coach Bean Bag" and it isn't a "fat" looking little key chain that it is a fake. Now I've heard that there were actually a "collection" (perhaps not the right word) of bags that were indeed "bean bags."

Any information on this would be extrmeley apperciated. If this is not the place to ask this question, or if you would like for me to provide addtional information, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

accidentally put this over in the I.D. thread and meant it for here. Just want to be sure it's real before I sell.

I think it's a pocket purse
Creed says 508-9842
Dimensions: about 9.5 W x 6 H x 2.25 D

Could you please authentic?

Item: Hamptons Clip Shoulder Handbag (maybe)

Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/280966617317?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Item: "Tan" shoulder bag? (that's in the title)
Listing number: 110951358301
Seller: spikef-15
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/110951358301?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
Comments: I have a question into the seller, as the headline says "tan" but the photo is salmon colored.


I need to quit doing this! Older Coach is too addictive. And, it's bad for the credit card. I will have an opportunity to go to at least one vintage flea at the end of the week.
