I agree about the stitching. And one font in particular doesn't look right when you compare them especially considering that both are supposed to have been made in the same month, year and plant - two apples from the same tree, although some differences may be due to lighting. But take a close look at the Coach logos above the creeds, especially the first "C".

I believe it is authentic. I don't know the style name or number. Maybe someone else does. In the future, post the measurements of the bag along with the pictures. I saw from your original listing that this bag is 13 by 17.75. This bag was made between 1988 and 1993. I think it was part of the Lightweights Collection. I have a bag that is similar in color from the same collection and I think it was blue (like a light navy) at one time but it faded to gray. I don't think the bag was ever made in gray. You can tell the original color by looking at the back of the inside pocket.While it may 'seem' like a regular practice to you, I hope I can remind you that everyone makes mistakes. I don't want to argue with you at all of course, and you are right, a lot of my listings have keywords jammed up in every little space. I am a seller on Ebay as a career and didn't start out knowing everything, so I'm doing my best to correct any and all mistakes I make. So I hope I'm not out of line asking for some understanding.
That said, let me try to do this correctly again. I have this Coach tote:
any opinions on its authenticity?
As an ebay buyer, I appreciate your intention to make your listings accurate.

It's genuine. From the measurements in your original listing it looks like a Light Tote, style number 4065 from the Lightweight line and probably made between 1988 and the very early 1990s.
Hi ladies, I just won a black court bag but now I want a brown one!
Do both of these listings I am getting authenticated look like the colour "british tan" to you? I have shoes and belts in this colour so I've got to have a bag to match, especially with Coach's vintage leather qualities!
1) Item: Brown court bah
Listing Number: 271273618493
Seller: dollsandsuch
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/271273618493?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Comments: I asked the seller to post the creed, and it appears that it says MJ5 9870 - is this strange? Sorry, still trying to learn.
2) Item: camel brown court bag
Listing Number: 290971394757
Seller: 202chanda

Comments: What do you think those white marks are on the seller's third photo? I asked the seller, and s/he said they haven't tried to clean it and they don't know, but it looks to be "dirty". I don't know if it's dirt. It reminds me of when I brush my teeth and get toothpaste splatter on my mirror lol. But in all seriousness, I did a search on the forum and some reason on other forums here, and some possibilities include wax coming out from the bag (but that's for Hermes so I don't know if it applies here). I guess to finish up this super long post - do you think it will come off in a bag bath or clean/conditioning? PS, in the same third photo there's also a very deep indent in the bag... that can't be saved right?
I just want the british tan colour so much! I know I need to be patient.. but... :\
Thanks!

Thanks! I think I will end up keeping it instead of selling it anyway.. so very roomy and I guess as the namesake, very lightweight despite the nice leather.
Thanks again!
You say you bought it on eBay. Please post a link to the listing.
IMO it looks like one of the scary fakes from the Philippines.
Please see post number 1 of the thread for the posting format and information we need. The seller ID would be super helpful in a case like this.
You're welcome.
They're authentic and the original price sounds about right.
Of course and thank you for making an effort to do the right thing and correct your listings.
Oh my.
Listing: Vintage Coach Handbag
Item no. 121172967477
seller: bashadow27

It's possible that the seller is aware this may be fake since the description in this listing is different from other Coach items they are selling.
