Wow! You ladies are fast this morning! I knew that some swingpacks didn't have creeds, and thought I recognized the quality and details. I waffled a little though, when I could only find one other bag like it, in the same colors.


The nylon zippers are just a preference thing. I don't mind them at all on the interior, just like the pretty metal ones on the exterior. This one is almost hidden though, so I can see why it was used here.


Thanks so much for your time!

I don't like nylon zippers much either. I almost left behind a Lightweights bag because the nylon zipper made me think it was fake.

It's not Coach. In fact, Coach sued Laura USA for trademark infringement. http://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F2/933/162/36002/

Interesting, thanks for the link! And the Appeals Court ruling also helps explain the reasons under law why styles of accessories or clothing can't be trademarked, only distinctive details like tags and stitching that are unique to that company and have been granted trademark protection. I just skimmed through it too but saved it for later.

It also proves beyond a doubt that the seller's bag mentioned in the post doesn't have any connection to Coach OR Laura Ashley and she's Keyword Spamming twice, not just once.

The audacity of that seller to put his own watermark on your pictures! I wonder where he got the pictures for all his other listings. He obviously knows how to use a photo editing program.

Update.... land of denial

Dear sacsmagnifiques1941,

Hi,
I just received your email, I've been sick with a cold. I did not steel your photos from you. I will have to go back and check the file as I know I got 2 off of a Google. I have a professional studio in my house for pictures, every once in a while I have trouble getting a photo, especially if the bag is a soft leather like this one.
Purse forum? Hall of shame is for fakes I don't sell fakes do you? Also Coach inc lets you sell on Ebay? Maybe you need to contact Google and ask them to not post your pictures, I have had many stolen because of google.

Did you point out the little details you added like the twine you added to hang the tag from!! This seller sounds go ignorant! You said she take photos from google! She asks you if you sell fakes, does she know you? It sounds like she does not even know what she sells. Very few people, especially people who don't have a brand like you, don't have a professional studio in their house. Unless it is themselves...called themselves professional! There has to be something illegal about this... Hmm! Good luck:)

Also how does she get all pug these NWTs bags? Is she a frequent buyer at the factory store? Also fishy

It was made for factory so without a new one with a tag it would be difficult to know. There aren't any catalogs for factory items. I think it is probably Penelope Linen Signature Hippie.

I told her that she is being watched closely by many people now.

Denial is right! Why does she think it is okay to take photos off Google and put her own watermark on them? If you have a professional studio, it wouldn't be difficult to get a good picture, so I don't believe that for a second. What about the fact that she is showing a picture of a bag that is the same style, but isn't the same bag as the one she has for sale?

I'm not comfortable with it but there aren't any HUGE red flags, just a few small ones. There's no verifiably genuine one I can find for comparison, it has a set of non-original and possibly fake hangtags hanging from the original tag but that might just be an addition by the seller, and the font of the serial number doesn't match the font from a different style made just a month later according to the date code. Below is the other creed I'm using to compare the serial fonts.

So I have to call it questionable, there's not enough evidence to be say that it's fake but I can't be sure that it's genuine so please DON'T report it.

I agree. To me, the font looks exactly like the font of many fake creeds. I wouldn't take a chance on it. I think the seller probably added hangtags she got recently from Coach.

Hi Ladies,

Can any of you tell me the name of this little cutie? It's very old and was in one person's possession for 22 years.....I'm re-habbing it but would love to know the name.
TIA

Sorry, forgot the measurements......8 3/4" long, 5" high, and 2" wide. The strap is attached and has a 20 1/2" drop.
