By "conflicting and/or misinformation" i mean that the picture shows a creed indicating one style number and her title shows a different one. That doesn't mean that the seller is intentionally lying or trying to fool a buyer. And it also doesn't mean the seller has a fake or sells fakes.

It merely means that the seller is human and made a mistake, didn't proofread or didn't do her homework in understanding the meaning and deciphering of Coach creeds.

I don't see anything in the seller's listings that indicates dishonesty, lack of integrity, sale of fakes or anything else.

As both Hyacinth and I pointed out, the bag shown in the listing is authentic and IS style 378.

I'm confused. I thought Coach ser. nos. were at least 4 digits and not 3 digits? I would have guessed the bag was fake.

In the event that I might actually purchase the Hampton tote, what would be the recommended way to clean a canvas and suede tote?

Please check the Rehab and Rescue Club thread at the main Coach forum under Coach Clubhouse for cleaning and rehab information. It depends on what kind of dirt or marks you need to clean.

Searching for "Coach 9927" and came across a couple of these backpacks.

I actually bought one of these fake backpacks around 2005 I think, the Creed number on mine is M4N-4154 (on the fake number list). :nogood:

Here is another 9927, the description says authentic:

Coach Crossbody messenger

seller: GrandmaFliesABroom

Creed number: W7B-9927

both the bag from ebay seller, judahtribe12 and Etsy seller, GrandmaFliesABroom are fake. If there's a way to report on Etsy, please do so as well as hitting the report button on the ebay listing.

ETA: When sellers have a catchy name like GrandmaFliesABroom, it sticks in my mind!! I recognized the name and knew it wasn't her first horse race!

Here's a post about her from April, 2014: http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/authenticate-this-coach-855067-157.html#post26571368

A post from March, 2013: http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/authenticate-this-coach-763164-518.html#post24203606

I wouldn't buy from GrandmaFliesABroom if she were the last seller on Etsy! My guess is that she's already been booted from ebay.

What do you think??? I went ahead and bought because I've been looking for a great leather weekender and saw this...I hope it's a real coach...or at least real leather...
Thank you so much! I look forward to your reply:)

Comment: I am wondering about the serial number (2005 is earlier than many Legacy zips I have seen) and need to know if authentic before I bid. Thanks!

The serial number is 1995 (I'm sure that is what you meant.) This style wasn't introduced until Spring 1997 so that is over a year too early for this style. The zipper pull is wrong. The font of the creed is slightly off. I think it is fake.

You need to use an accurate Guide to tell you how to read and interpret Coach serial numbers and codes:

But I agree, the bag is fake. And 2005 is not earlier than most Legacy Zips.
