Here is the other one.

Item: Two tone Pink Coach Wristlet

Link:











Comments: The only indicator that this might be a Coach is the little hang tag. The quality seems to be there to me (but I have been wrong before, soooo....) If this is the real deal would this be Papaya and pink? Is that an uncommon color? It isn't orange enough to be poppy.

9" long x 5 1/4" tall

This is authentic. It is a Bonnie clutch from around 2009. Someone on ebay says the color is coral/fuchsia. The style number is probably 42543.

Whateve now that you gave me a style name I found one on eBay. It is a new with tags and it says it is a crossbody. I wish I had the strap for it.

Here is the link for that one.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-Coach-4...973?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item1c4718d0ed

I have a couple of thin crossbody straps in brown leather I may use with it just to be able to wear it that way.

That turquoise one in the web pictures is to die for IMO. Turquoise if my favorite color. That purple you have would be my second choice. LOVE!

The listing with the crossbody strap is style 42548. It's larger than the wristlet.

The wristlet (42543) didn't come with the second long strap.

Hyacinth I thanked you earlier but it is not posting when I refresh. I just want to make sure you both know how much I appreciate your help!

I would love to have the turquoise one too.

They made both a clutch and a crossbody. Yours is the clutch. It is like these: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313&_nkw=coach+42543&_sacat=0

Comments: R month code. Fake?
Click to expand...
There's a good chance it is fake. R isn't a valid month code. The turnlock has grooves. Also, the shape of the front of the bag under the flap is the newer style that wasn't made until late 1999. Compare it to this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-Vinta...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 that was made in 1999 and still has the old style. 8th picture.

Just wondering about the ebay Global Shipping Program-- is it "dreaded" and why? I am signed up for it on my account but the other day I had a buyer from Denmark write to ask why the shipping for a $60 bag was so high at over $50! I checked USPS rates and they were just $17 if I sent it First Class Int'l. But then eBay wouldn't allow me to change the shipping price in an invoice. If I cancel it will I no longer be visible to other countries? Thanks (I know this is not an authentication question and I'm sorry to be off-topic but read these posts this afternoon)

*I was trying to connect to comments by Fuzzymummy and Whateve on page 507 but they didn't post as quotes!

Here's another debbieb208 listing.

The serial number font doesn't look right and she has another fake posted on the hall of shame.

Was this bag even still being made in 2002?

ETA: How is this seller doing short (2-day) listings? Unless ebay changed, it has to be a minimum of 5-day listing for designer items.

This listing started today, October 4 and ends on October 6:

COMMENTS: Was S a US plant in 1995? I've never seen S on a US-made bag; just on newer bags made in China.

Thanks.

No, S isn't a valid plant code for the US. The zipper pull isn't sewn across. The strap looks like it might be too long.

I'm not sure. I think that ebay tries to force everyone to use the global shipping program but you can opt out, I believe. Once you already have a buyer, I don't think you can change it. If you use first class international you might not get tracking all the way to the destination, in which case you wouldn't be protected by seller protection. Ebay uses priority mail and also charges the buyer for the customs fees, which if you sent it yourself they would pay for once the bag arrived in their country.

You should ask your question in the ebay forum. http://forum.purseblog.com/ebay-for...nswer-thread-ebay-and-bonanza-etc-646884.html

Ha! Ha! I realized that after I posted my reply when I reread the link I posted again! I like that seafoam and lime color combo too!
