Two bags to look at when you get a chance. These are the seller's photos and aren't great. First is a "city bag" second a stewardess. I'm most concerned with the city bag, but I'll wait to see what you guys think. TIA

I'm not sure about the City Bag either. The only comparison I have from the G plant is a 1998 bag, and there are a few small differences in the serial number.

The Stewardess seems ok, but more opinions are welcome for both.

It's got my hackles up to be sure but I can't put my finger on why exactly. The seam above zipper doesn't match my others and the back plate on the front trim for the turn lock is the 3d one that I see on a lot of fakes. However, one of the teeth are broken off the from plate, so it may be a replacement.

Here's the seam. .. farther apart and different color and the buckle has "solid brass" which I don't see on my bags after the late 80s/early 90s.

I'm also a bit worried about the inside - the inside pocket doesn't seem to match the rest, and the pocket zipper seems awfully light for a tan bag. But maybe that's just a trick of the lighting.

In my opinion, any buckle that says "solid brass" on anything later than the early 80's indicates that bag is fake. I've never even seen it on any 80's bags, only 70's, and you can tell it is solid brass because they are really heavy.

I actually have several 80s bags or at least they say "new" in the 80s catalogs that I have. I'll post pics if you like... can't think of any in the 90s now that you mention it though

Hello all, hope your weekends were nice, cool and dry

Please authenticate:

Item: COACH 6210 Mahogany brown fabric Xlg shoulderbag purse made in Italy roomy
Item #: 151102201881
Seller: junking*yorkie
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/151102201881?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Whateve, I saw in one of your posts from last night about the last part about withstanding water and dirt being on your fake creed list. Is that for all plants? I don't want to mess with someone's livelihood if I'm not 100% sure.

TIA
