It looks like the actual piece of leather used for the front flap might have been defective. The bag has seen a lot of use but it's just that one piece of leather that's showing that odd pattern of colors. You might want to keep looking.

2) Item number: N/A

RE: 53bigbooka

 I think you have the incorrect item number and link for 53bigbooka's listing.

I think this is what you're looking at:
Item 121174802868
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Coa...868?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item1c3694c1b4

My comment concerns the seller, 53bigbooka. Although the listing you're asking about might be okay, it's worth noting that the seller had listings for several fake Coach bags in early January. All had invalid serial numbers.

Then in February, the seller had another fake Coach bag, again with an invalid serial number.

And in April, another fake bag was listed and ultimately removed.

A seller who sells as many Coach bags as 53bigbooka should be authenticating them, or at least learning about how to read and understand serial numbers.

This is the creed from one of the (at least 6) fakes listed and removed. (And sadly, this bag had been deemed authentic by Carol Diva. :nono:

RE: station85 (on Etsy) is station_85 on ebay:
This seller's feedback shows she has a history of not accurately disclosing the condition of the items she sells.

I wouldn't buy from either seller.

Thanks @BeenBurned (as I pick my heart back up from the floor). This is good to know about the seller, I'll try to be patient and keep looking :)

1- I think it's ok, but obviously something like that is pretty easy to fake. The description was probably just re-used without checking to see if it fit the item

2- looks ok

3- genuine Soho Small Basket, technically not vintage since it's from 1998

I'm wondering about this purse:
Coach Hobo Shoulder Bag

aliciao
http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-HOBO-...058?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item3cd5ab25a2

What kind of clasp is that in the front? What is the real name? This doesn't seem specific enough. And of course, is it real? Thank you so much.

I'm not sure why you're not satisfied with the description. Those styles were called Clip Hobos so this one is a Suede Clip Hobo, and the clip is the one Coach used for the "Clip" bags.

DON'T PAY !!!

That's a COMPLETE fake. The serial number is too short and is on both mine and Daria48's Fake Serial Numbers list, and the entire style is fake and NEVER made by Coach.

Hope the other posters will help in reporting it.

ALWAYS check either my Fake Serial Numbers list here,
