Good afternoon! These two are mine.. just wanted to be sure that they are correct.

The first one is this little crossbody that measures about 8 inches tall x 6 1/4 wide x 2 inches deep. The shoulder strap has a 24 inch drop on it's last hole:

The second one measures 8 inches tall x 10 1/2 inches across the top x about 5 1/2 across the bottom. The strap drop is 21 1/2 inches in the last hole on each side:

Although the bag in the listings appears to be okay, I have some reservations about shadowunh07.

the seller lists duplicates of her items, one as a fixed price listing and the other as auction. I assume she'll end one listing if the other sells but there are always chances that someone will be disappointed if the bag sells or has bids on one listing and gets ended. (It's also a policy violation to list items twice unless she has 2 of them.)

In this case, I don't believe the seller has duplicates and in fact, her toolhaus indicates she claims "technical glitch" and "duplicate listings" when buyers negged her.

Additionally, there was a long discussion last week about this seller and her listings. She'd listed an obviously fake Coach wristlet and the listing claimed to have been "professionally" authenticated by *****************. AF denied authenticating and ebayers who'd emailed the seller got responses that the Coach items were indeed authenticated. I don't know who's not telling the truth but someone isn't being honest.

However, her listings no longer have the authentication statement.

Thanks so much for the information.

The black small sidepack is authentic. The red bag is fake. It has a K3H prefix in that thick font.

Pebble leather Alexandra Satchel F1756. Can you tell me if this is authentic? Sorry I could not get a good pic of the creed/serial. It says j1193 f17566. I have a few factory bags that are older and they say Coach on the hardware and have Ideal or Ykk zippers, this does not on outside the inside has ykk which I read is normal? I do not know anything about the bags that came out in the last few years so any info on if this is authentic would be appreciated I want to make sure before I give it to my MIL. :smile1:

Did you buy it? It's gorgeous! I've never seen a green one before either but I don't see any problems with it. They made other classic styles in green at that time so it makes sense they would have made a stewardess.

This isn't my area of expertise so wait for confirmation, but I don't see anything wrong with that bag. You can't assume that all factory bags will have the same features. You can only compare two bags with the same style number. Some bags have Coach on the hardware and some don't. Actually, more fakes have Coach on the hardware than authentic bags. The zipper manufacturer makes absolutely no difference. Coach has used many brands of zippers over the years. The inside zipper brand doesn't have to match the outside zipper.

Thank you :D It was a last second purchase on Ebay, I looked it up and compared it to others with the same serial number but I wasn't 100% once it came. It is a beautiful bag, my husband even said it was perfect for his mom so I wanted to make sure before I give it to her tomorrow.

Your request was posted 4 or 5 times! You're welcome! I'm jealous! The green is so beautiful!

That happened to me when I tried to post something yesterday. It ended up posted several times. I reported my posts and requested that the extras be removed but I never went back to see if they did it.
