The zipper on the top one looks pink. There is only one photo and a bad one at that so I wouldn't feel comfortable reporting it without more proof.

I don't have any 2000 plant C bags to compare to the second one but I think the font of the number looks wrong. I wouldn't report for the grommets not matching but with the other problems, I think it is probably fake.

The bottom one is fake for sure. The E code was never used for US.

Hello, could you authenticate this Stewardess Bag please? I would like to bid on it.

Item: vintage Stewardess Bag
Listing number: 271210532498
Seller: ginjarbreadman
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/271210532498?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Thank you very much in advance!

It looks genuine, but I doubt if it's "Bonnie Cashin era" like the seller claims. Coach probably didn't start using serial numbers until after Cashin had left the company.

This bag seems counterfeit to me. Could you please authenticate?

Item: Saddle Pouch
Listing number: 111077288047
Seller: ljuls165
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUTHENTIC-C...047?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item19dcb8e86f
Comments: The bag has a weird serial number. Thanks!

This listing is fake. Even if this were one of the legitimate instances where Coach transposed the month and year codes, "S" wouldn't be a valid month. Additionally, the font is way off and the style number doesn't match this style of bag.

Please feel free to report.

ETA: The seller, ljuls165 has another fake Coach bag with JHM as the prefix:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUTHENTIC-C...257?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item19dce5d159

Here's another ETA:
Someone might want to look at this listing (sold) with J4D as the prefix.

The sold "Willis" with the J4D- prefix is fake too. The padding above the turnlock is wrong, and the nickel hardware wasn't even available on the Willis until 1998. Please report that one too.

Comments: I know I am a noob, but something just feels off now that I take a second look at it.

It's fine.

I think Coach uses fabric remnants for the teardrop fobs and in their attempt to avoid waste, they don't bother to center the patterns. If they're centered, fine. If not, that's okay too.
