And are sure it is authentic? We're these bags ever faked! It does not seem finished, and the zipper is coming apart!! What do you think??

From the pictures you posted first, it looks authentic. The ones you just posted don't tell me very much and some of them are taken from too close or are a bit out of focus. Since I don't have that style bag to compare yours too I'm hoping that Whateve does.

But I still think it's genuine. Seams can come loose and stitches can tear out although that's unusual in genuine Coaches but it DOES happen.

Item: Vintage Coach English Saddle Bag Early 1970s for collectors
Item no: 111530476569
Seller: us2013-lucch
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Coa...569?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item19f7bc0419
Comment: What a story!
I also found this one on etsy. At least the seller is not claiming it is Coach, but from the 1950's-60's?

And another on ebay claiming to be Coach.

The brand stamping on the first and third ones clearly say "Equestrian" with a registered trademark logo, so advertising it as a Coach is Keyword Spamming. The stamp says "Coach Hide" so they can use that phrase in the description but that doesn't mean it's made by Coach.

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.

I was able to get a photo of the creed. It is for the sinsular kijiji listing of the purple Coach purse. Hope it helps.

Hi can someone look at this bag for me? I asked about it on one of the FB Coach forums to find out the color and there is a major question that it is not authentic. I have included the link to the auction and additional pictures. Thank you in advance :smile1:

I agree with Tetondeb, it's a REALLY bad fake. Hardware color is wrong, the leather color is wrong, the leather looks thin and cheap, the fabric on the zippers is the wrong color, the zipper is too short, the serial number font is wrong, the creed format is wrong, the strap buckle holes are wrong.

The Fake Numbers List warns that J4D- serial numbers should be checked. That bag is a fake and a mess.

Thank you. I thought it was only J8's that were fake. I should have had it checked before I paid but it is crazy holiday time and I was orange bag struck and didn't think about it. I contacted the seller to see if there is resolution to the problem since I can no longer do an Ebay claim and it is illegal to ship it back since it is a fake. If there is not a solution I will go through PayPal.

The Patricia's Legacy was never made in Orange. OR bright Pink, or Lime Green or any of the other brights or other unusual colors that we've seen on fakes. And the fabric backing on zippers used in Coaches usually matches the leather. Any time a bag is an unusual color you've never seen it in before, HAVE IT AUTHENTICATED HERE.

Whatever steps you take need to be taken immediately, either through Paypal or through whatever credit card company funded the Paypal payment.
