Thank you for all your help last time ladies! I need help authenticating another coach bag:

Item: Coach Shoulder bag?
Listing number: 261405466433
Seller: smokeyweeks4
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261405466433?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Comments: The serial number is 0321-006. You also can't see it in the picture but this bag has two front sections. It was cheap so I bought it, bathed it, and now its drying. Hopefully this is an authentic one!
 
Wow! I was thinking the other way around. Here's another one with the same 3 charms on it.....

http://www.ebay.com/itm/151258240133?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

I had a purse I gave to my MIL that had a charm like this. Since I don't have it anymore, I can't tell you what the back looks like.
Aw, carp! That's interesting!

So is she selling accessories that came with bags?

In this comp, I think I see differences.
1. The lozenge appears different. Yours shows the border around "Coach" as being closer to the end on the right.
2. Her lozenge looks like it's attached to the same link as the carriage. Yours is on a different link with its own o-ring.



Or is she dismembering and reconstructing other "bracelets" and ornaments? I don't ever recall seeing some of the ones she has at all.

According to ebay's prohibited accessories pollicy, if these charms were not sold separately but came as part of a handbag purchase (as dustbags and hangtags are), they aren't allowed to be sold separately. But as to authenticity, I have no proof as to whether they're fake or authentic.

I apologize for my misleading post.

Please don't report any of these listings. I have no idea which ones are

I didn't report anything. I already knew that some of the Hampton and soho bags came with charms....some a 2 charm set, some had a 3 charm set. Sellers have been cutting links, adding clips to them and selling them for a while now.....I think some even came with clips.

BUT, I have never seen the heart charm on anything but a keyring. That is why I questioned if it was authentic....plus the writing inside the heart looks sloppy. And the other one doesn't look right either so I was thinking partially homemade......

Thanks for y'all's input!

No problems here.

Ladies, would like someone to take a peek at this:

Item: Coach Vintage Orange Leather Bag
link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Vinta...986?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item3f3287c01a
seller: http://myworld.ebay.com/luisnmari11?_trksid=p2047675.l2559
Item #: 271430696986

Hmmmm.....

FAKE. Invalid serial prefix, a Made in USA stamp that was discontinued in 1995, two years before that style came out (Fall 1997), and also too-old creed wording. Either the seller's lying or Granny "shopped" on Canal Street or with the fakes sellers on Ebay.

The prongs on the back of the turnlock "collar" are also too short.

We need to see a photo of the creed stamp and serial number, and if you could photograph those two front sections from the top with the flap open, that would be a big help. And does it have an inside pocket or an outside back pocket? The seller's pics don't give any clues about the bag's details or construction.

The bag shown as a prop is fake too.

It's almost a perfect match to the fake box shown in this listing from forevercreative and her fake Coach bangle. (The bangle was removed from ebay and almost immediately relisted on Listia.)

This happened to me once when I put in a page number that didn't exist. I think restarting the computer might have fixed it, or I might have had to clear cookies, or log out of tpf.
