For the life of me, I don't know how I forgot to check on this one nor do I see where any body else asked. Received yesterday, did I do good or do I have to get my money back.

Please authenticate:

I tried taking a picture with my camera and it is just as fuzzy as the one on ebay. Nothing is misspelled. It does have "N with the little o" in front of serial #. Here is how it reads:

There is a lot of long spaces in between some of the words in the creed. Thanks

I looked at every Lightweights I own and finally found one with the giant space in the creed just like this one. All the details of the bag are correct so I was sure it was authentic, but I had never noticed that huge space on a creed before. I don't think this bag was made in orange. There was a red, which you don't see very often. These bags are prone to fading so it was probably red at one time. It is missing the zipper pull. This is the Lightweights soft satchel #4055.

All the court bags are authentic. I can't authenticate the wallet in the first listing. The black bag in that listing isn't vintage. It was made in 2003. The straps on the two older bags aren't adjustable.

Please try to Copy & Paste the links too, the number of the first listing is invalid. The right number is 370872105873.

The first one seems ok but we usually need to see the entire creed patch - not in this case though. Those white bags are very hard to clean once they get dirty and when a seller of a light-colored leather bag says a bag "might need a cleaning", you may want to keep looking, or at least ask for clear, in-focus photos of the bag so you can see how dirty it is and decide if it's worth the effort. That pebbled leather surface on Sonomas can't take a lot of scrubbing like smooth leathers can.

The bag is a Sonoma Small Flap, Natural Grain from sometime in the mid-1990s. It's impossible to give an exact year without being able to see the entire serial number.

2nd - I know it's really hard to get clear, well-lit close-ups of the creed on smaller bags, especially black ones, but it's impossible to authenticate without one.

I'd appreciate it if anyone can authenticate this bag as well, though I think it's fake, considering the lining. :)

The badly-cut and stitched creed without a serial number, the Logo lining inside a C-pattern bag, the fake hardware with the Coach name stamped all over - there's nothing right about this one. If you already bought it, get your money back, it's a really poor quality fake.

Bad fake - fake hardware, off-center C pattern AND the Cs are all the wrong shape, and the whole style is fake.

Now that you've found tPF, please have anything you're thinking of buying authenticated here BEFORE you buy.
