The first one is fake. The second one needs a picture of the creed to authenticate. I've had white marks like that come off in the bath and some haven't. It might not be British tan. The seller says it's camel.
I suspect that the seller knows. And if she doesnt know it's fake, she needs to do some homework. She also has this fake.

This one is not even TRYING to be a Coach! The seller bashadow27 says it DOESN'T HAVE A CREED, the strap is held on by Velcro, and it looks like someone just pried or unscrewed the metal Coach emblem from another bag and stuck it on this POS.
I don't have to say it but I will - do NOT buy from this seller.
Sorry ladies-- my pc is down and I am trying to learn how to use my iPad for this. Here is the listing where I bought the cobalt duffle.
It's so funny--I'll find a style I've never seen before and then all of a sudden I see like 3 in the same day! I like the price of this one much better! Thanks for checking it out.

That's the way it always happens! Most sellers don't know the name so they are hard to find if you are looking for them. This one looks good too. It is difficult to find a strap to match.
There's no way you could have known. The listing shows pictures of an authentic bag - not the one you received. Compare the creed on yours to the picture in the listing. I think that is proof for a SNAD case.
Here's the listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221257034225?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Thank you, whateve! Yeah it's too bad there is no strap. Still cute as a hand held though!
I'm so sorry for being unclear, Whateve, especially since you're always so accurate and kind. Thanks for your reply btw, this bag has me stumped.
I searched the last four creed digits on this bag on Google and then on Ebay and it pulled up a bunch of Canvas (I think these are signature bags? The ones with the "C's" all over them?) hobo slingy-type Coach bags.
The number on my little Brit Tan Messenger Crossbody is 443-9349. I searched 9349. It also reads "Coach Leatherware" and was US made.
I am hesitant to post the bag in "ID This Coach" as i don't want to spam the forums with my questions. Do you think I should? I'd like to know the style, it's very cute and the leather is super thick. It was, however, very difficult to rehab and I'd prefer to have it in a darker color. I find the Brit Tan bags VERY hard to keep pretty.
Thanks again.
Oh, now I get it! You can't use the last 4 digits from an all number creed to search. It isn't a style number. Your bag was made before 1994 when they started putting style numbers in the creeds. You can identify creeds that have a style number because the first digit is always a letter (except in some rare circumstances when the factories made a mistake.) Your bag was made between 1988 and 1993. I'm sure someone else is familiar with the style. Don't be hesitant about posting it in the "ID this Coach" thread. Make sure you include measurements.
