I just bought a willis on ebay. Can you please help me check if it's authentic. Thanks in advance!
It looks good.
If one end of the zipper extends past the top corner of the bag it's probably a Swagger from around 1990.

Wait for other opinions because I could be reading it wrong but I think I'm seeing "T" as the first letter of the serial number.
Hi all,
I found this ( http://******/YNwAW5) on eBay and quite a steal for the price.
I asked the seller and it does not come with dust bag which I know for sure it should come with the dust bag if I buy at the store. I interested this bag and been tempting to buy it but still checking out maybe comes any deal. So I'm wondering if it's a real coach. If anyone could recognize it or coach expert out there, please help..
Thanks so much for reading and any information to share.

ALthough the bag may have had a dust bag originally, they can get lost, misplaced or the seller may decide to keep it for herself. I've purchased bags from Macy's that were missing dustbags and the SA told me that they'd taken "my" dustbag and gave it to someone else whose bag was missing one. Then she took the dustbag from another bag to give to me. That type of thing happens frequently so it's not unusual to get a purse that's missing the dust bag.
I was curious, too, so I put it into photoshop to increase the contrast and enlarge it. It looks like a T from what I can tell.
(I hope I'm not being creepy)
Ack, cant figure it out - here's the pic: http://sweetlibertine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/283619_307042426094036_732602380_n.jpg

The first digit looks a T. I'm also wondering where the owner got those D-rings for the removeable strap since they're not genuine Coach pieces. I'd like to see the inside pocket end to end with the sides of the bag pulled out more to show that detail too.
It might be best to pass on that one.

I'm pretty sure this style doesn't normally come with a dust bag. Some department stores may provide a dust bag anyway. If the seller got it at an outlet, even if there was a dust bag originally, some outlets remove them. I wouldn't base authenticity on whether or not there is a dust bag included.
The first is a Chrystie Bag from the early 1990s, style 9892
The second looks like a Pocket Purse, style 9755 from the same time period.
