1- looks ok

2- NEVER use a hangtag to prove or disprove authenticity. Hangtags can be changed, swapped or replaced in less than 5 seconds and don't prove a thing except in very limited circumstances. That bag is a GENUINE Sonoma Tote and the hangtag is NOT the original one that came with the bag.

3 and 4 are also genuine.
Thanks, Hyacinth. I did know about the hangtag, but that creed looked weird to me. Just shows that I am very much a newbie. In awe of your expertise! :faint:

All are authentic.
 
Since it seems quiet right now, I thought I'd post a bag I got today. I'm almost positive that it's a Devon bag from 1994. Dimensions are: 9''x6.5''x2.25'' I haven't seen very many real ones in this color, but the fakes have been ridiculously obvious (made in Korea, wrong turnlock, etc.) Coming across 2 classic legacy bags (style 9966) that were obvious fakes has me a little spooked too.

It's genuine.
 
One more, from eBay.

Creed states cowhide although it is a mainly nylon bag, also, the font of the serial numbers seems off to me.

Thanks!
Fake. The serial number should be for an ergo, which is all leather so they probably copied a creed from one. There are a LOT of things wrong with this bag, just to name a few--the zipper pulls, the buckles, the metal plate on front. Report away!

Fake.

ETA: The seller, conanlover15 also has another fake with a known invalid serial number:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Coa...102?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item2a464f859e

0974-534 is on Hyacinth's list.

And someone got taken from $75 (on a best offer) on this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Coach-Black-Leather-Feed-Duffle-Bag-9085-/181564074406?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item2a460fe9a6&nma=true&si=J89ltV%252Fo95XKB2jsM5y51%252Bm4Tf8%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Do not buy from conanlover15.

This one's a genuine pocket purse :) Looks like it would be a good first rehab if you want to fix it up!

Do not buy from conanlover15.

Idk @ rehab since a seam has split but could be good to practice on (if my sister gives it to me). Full of what I guess is/was face powder.

The fake was pulled. conanlover15 :tdown:

Thanks, frenchieRU and BB. Always much obliged!
