Comment: This listing worries me. The formatting of the creed varies significantly from the items I've verified before. Also the bullseye logo above a creed stamp, not related to this listing. What does that mean? I saw on an eBay listing that it was a factory bag. I saw that on a Willis and I thought Willis was never a factory bag.

I did not check to see if it is calculated shipping but it is showing $24.50 from NC to PA. That is a lot since it is not surcharged. Priority weighing 8 pounds in a 18x12x12 box is $13.31 online.

I checked also. I got the same $24.50 for NC to MA and the same $24.50 from NC to CA.

For cross-country, it's reasonable but for east coast, it's a bit excessive.

The seller also has a small Vera Bradley bag that she charges $15.25 for shipping. That would ship for about 1/2 of that! Her shipping prices are all over the place with some very reasonable and others through the roof.

I checked the price from NC to CA for an oversized box and priority is $32.66 online, standard post is $20.20. I used a Coach box measuring 20 x 16 x 6. For a box measuring 18 x 12 x 12, I got $41.24 priority. These are the USPS prices. I didn't check ebay prices. I know that the boxes that Coach uses are all oversized and I can't ever use them for shipping my ebay stuff since the postage prices are astronomical. They are bigger than you need for one purse, but for 4 purses, I'm sure I'd need a box that big.

The Willis in the listing is authentic. It was made in 1994. Perhaps you've never had a bag from this era authenticated? Coach creeds have varied throughout the years. A bullseye on a creed means a full price bag that was sold at factory.

wow, nice to know. I'm really just looking for a Christmas gift. My GF is always on this site and I know the site has been a resource in authenticating her purchases. She knows I'm looking but to use her account I felt was overkill. Thanks so much for the help and knowledge.

Coach vintage willis bag
No. J8P-9927
Made in Costa Rica
Found at local GoodWill
Authentic? Year it was made? Color? Not sure if black or navy blue)
One thing that worries me is the J in front (lots of fakes with J) also (see pic) looks like the brass I chipped off and if it is real brass it would not.. Or is it? Maybe I just need some Brasso? Thank you!

Lighting may not be the best!

Also I did not decide to purchase the earlier listing! The seller never got back to me with pics and creed numbers and I wonder if they were real... I saw it went for 51.00 which is cheap! Plus the shipping.. I don't know I might have lost out?! Thank you for your help
