Both look good.

The second seller is a newbie and may not realize the importance of proper packaging. She has another poorly listed Coach bag and her next buyer may not be as tolerant as you are. A bit of constructive criticism wouldn't hurt.

Thanks, BB! I will let her know - poor thing, it took me three or four days to walk her through how to verify her PayPal account so I could pay her!

@hyacinth thank again you so much for the advice. I spoke to the seller about the condition and she said it is in very good condition. The owner is a lady who bought a lot of stuffs, but afterward got sick and passed away and couldn't use her bag. They found this bag together with a bunch of her new unworn shoes:( Feel bad about it, but seem like a rare find:)

Also. the seller who sells the fake purse is not on ebay but on PoshMark, I left a comment there and they won't be able to delete my comment, so hopefully people will be smart to read and do some searching before buying from her:)

I got a question for you'll all experts here. Saw a posting on PoshMark, and it says that it is authentic Vintage Coach Handbag, but the creed tag is very suspicious because there are spelling mistake, ex. Marking is spelled as Marxing and the serial no. is showed as N: 308-9876, there is the missing underline o, this is a fake, right?

Comments: I'm not sure I've seen a single border around the coach words in the creed. Usually it's a double border? And I'm not sure how her husband gave her this bag 2 years ago when the creed seems to indicate a 1996 bag unless perhaps he bought it used?

All three are authentic. The first one is a slim satchel. The second one looks like a small compartment bag. The seller doesn't give measurements, this is a small bag. The third one looks fine. There is a double border around the cartouche - it's just very faint and looks like other creeds from the 90's. People tend to not be very good at estimating how long they have owned something.

Thanks whateve. I messaged the seller of the compartment bag to find out about the dimensions. Hopefully it's the same size as the british tan version you authenticated for me recently as I really like that one. Is it possible to pinpoint the time frame of the compartment bag?

Maybe the owner of the third bag forgot a digit somewhere. I know I'm bad at estimating how long I have owned something until I start to think carefully and then realize that I've underestimated the time frame by at least half.

You're welcome! The compartment bag was introduced in 1989. I don't know how long they made it but probably not long, since you don't see too many. I believe this is the small one, which is about 8 x 5 x 2. The small one has a tubular strap, while the larger one has an adjustable strap attached with rings. The large is only about an inch bigger.

Please authenticate....

I bought this and I'm 99% sure it's authentic but something is telling me to have it checked out! I bought second hand, it's a Maggie Madison design, ultramarine color. Please verify me trusting the lady was the right thing to do!

Creed # J1271-21238

Please let me know if pics didn't attach, they looked like they were but don't see now.
