These listings don't have pictures of all the things we need to authenticate. At the very least we need pictures of the creed patches. It is helpful to see some of the lining too.

There is a size limit. You either have to resize the photos with a program on your computer or upload them to a photo sharing site. Some of the photo sharing sites resize them when you upload them; then you can download the smaller sized pictures to your computer or just post them from the site's url.

Here is a thread that might help: http://forum.purseblog.com/feedback-dropbox/posting-photos-25.html

Hi everyone!
I've got a three for authentication today:
This one's still on eBay.
Item: Coach 189-4336 Vintage Medium Thick Leather Satchel Purse Hand Bag New York USA
Item #: 271680533131
Seller: *zooangels*
Link: Here
Comment: Pretty sure it's a pocket purse.

I feel pretty good about both of these bags. I found them while thrifting last week and I think they're a basic bag and a city bag. (Both were altered slightly by the previous owners--arg!!)
Album Here

Please help me authenticate this bag. It's listed as 1443. Thanks!

Style 1443 is one of the most highly faked and "well-faked" styles and is nearly impossible to authenticate.

I believe that color was supposed to have purplish-pink lining and I can't tell from the pictures what color that lining is.

I don't recommend buying 1443 from sellers who don't have a history of selling authentic Coach.

How can I tell for sure?

As I said, it's one of the most difficult styles to authenticate because they were so scarily well faked.

With this style, it's necessary to know the lining color that was in each of the various colored bags (different exteriors had different lining colors) as well as examining the other construction details.

In this listing, the seller's pictures just aren't clear enough to see what I'd want to see.

Are you the winning bidder? Have you received the bag yet? If so, can you please post clear pictures of the creed, the lining, the bottom and the side.

I will say it doesn't have any red flags but I'm not comfortable saying it's authentic based on the pictures shown.

ETA: Perhaps someone else has a known authentic version of this bag and can take a look at it.

ETA again: As an example of how "good" the fakes are, this is an example of a fake. But to non-expert eyes, it could easily be mistaken for being genuine.

(I'll also add pictures in case the listing (seller designerheavenplustjbs) disappears:

I should be receiving the bag early next week, so I'll upload pictures then. Thank you so much BeenBurned!
