The bag in the photobucket pictures is authentic. (The pictures in the listing are all stock photos so the seller shouldn't even be using them.)

The bag is a MFF (made for factory) bag and though they don't come with dust bags, they should include a care card.

Coach doesn't have "authenticity cards." A care card tells how to care for the materials and detailing (fabric, leather, beading, etc.) on the bag. Coach puts the cards into the inner zipper pocket but it's possible it could have been lost.
Thank you so much for your kind reply. have you notice the creed markings? isn't kind of unusual? because I visit one of the factory store but I haven't seen anything like that case, so hard to read the text.

I'm not sure what "markings" you're referring to. Sometimes it's the texture of the creed combined with lighting and angle that makes it hard to read the text but there's nothing wrong (that I can see) with it.

Other opinions are certainly welcome. Maybe I'm missing something.
 
The creed still isn't very clear. I can make out the style number but not the prefix. Is it J5C? I would prefer to see a much clearer creed picture in order to say absolutely that it is authentic. From what I can see, it is probably okay. It isn't a Willis. It is the much smaller Regina bag.


Hi, thanks Wateve for your kind help! Emailed seller but this is what she replied:

I am unable to get a better picture. I can not open the purse wide enough and have tried using a spot light to no avail. Even had someone assist with holding one or the other. The # is M5C-9983. Not sure if that is what you are trying to see. I apologize for not being able to get you what you are looking for. This is the first time I feel I have been unable to get a clear picture of the creed. It is due to the size of the bag.

That number is correct for the bag. It is probably authentic.

It's genuine, but I'm not sure if or why the seller is calling it an "Avery". It's a Legacy Large Duffle Sac. The serial number is B3S-9151, and technically it won't be vintage for another 9 years.

Thanks Hyacinth. ^

Here is another blue duffle that I am wondering about.

Comments: I'm far from an expert but from what I've read nothing here really throws me off on this one, but I'd love opinions I can trust a bit more than my own. The seller was very helpful and answered all my questions. I preemptively put in a bid and I'm feeling a bit anxious about it now... so, thank you for all your help!

I'm having a great deal of difficulty in reading the creed. It should state it was made in Hungary. The photos make it look like the hardware is silver. It should be brass; I think it probably is because the seller mentions that in her listing. Those are my only concerns. If the creed checks out, and the hardware really is brass, then I believe it is authentic.
