The bag looks okay and for a seller with this many listings, she/they must have a lot of employees to help!

I do want to comment on the feedback. Very high-volume seller will always have what appears to be a high number of unhappy customers but before buying, you might want to check out the feedback.

Many of the comments indicate that the pictures weren't accurate and that the seller didn't have items in stock. You might want to verify availability and request more pictures.

Hi, could anyone authenticate this bag. I'm still learning, but the creed looks weird (and that's a really large wallet)!

Description: Vintage Coach shoulder bag/satchel/black/12"x10"/ Coach Wallet Hot Pink 6'x4"
Item# 201116035119
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/201116035119?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

It's really hard to be sure about the purse since the creed isn't readable. It's probably a genuine Stewardess but the photos aren't much help. That shiny leather means it's been pretty heavily conditioned and probably that something more than just a basic conditioner was used. You might ask the seller what she used to condition it.

Hi There!
Could you please authenticate this wallet? Thanks so much!

Item: COACH Black Legacy Leather Slim Envelope Wallet Clutch 48003
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-Black...g-/221470734149?pt=Wallet&hash=item3390af3745

Because of the huge number of fake wallet sellers centered in Southern California especially around Arcadia, I'm not comfortable authenticating ANY wallet from a S Cali seller although I don't think San Jose is in S Cali. Wait for more opinions.

The creed is 0549(or something like that, it's blurry)- 451. So, four digits, followed by three? Is this legit?

Thank you so very much! I didn't realize it was offered in two lighter shades. All is right in my world again. Except that I got outbid at the last second. :( I do have one question that came up in my search though. If a bag is offered in multiple sizes (small/large for example), the style number for each size will be different, right? One of the other bags in my list has the same style number as all of the others but the seller has the dimensions several inches smaller.

The number format is valid, but that doesn't by itself prove the purse is genuine.

Serial numbers are a complicated subject and changed often. Read the two Salearea Coach Guides posted at Ebay on Creeds and on Serial Numbers for an explanation, and Save or Bookmark the pages:

Thank you very much! I think I'll keep looking for a while! Coach bags aren't sold here in Sweden at all, but I've totally fallen for the brand! Thanks again!
