AT question: I came across this Equestrian Flap at a really good price but the creed makes me suspect that it is fake as I do not have a country code "S" on any of my lists. Thanks for any info you can provide.


Here is a link to the listing.

AFAIK, S is China but this bag says it was made in the United States. (Wait for other opinions.)

The font isn't jcorrect for the S plant either. Compare to this one (authentic):

It is fake. The font is too thick and fuzzy, and as BB said, the S plant was used for China. I don't think they were making equestrians as late as 2002. I think the shape of the tabs is off as well.
 
One last request! (Sorry, I'm trying to find an older British Tan City Bag or Stewardess Bag style bag as a gift for a young friend, but I'm on a budget, so there's been a lot of searching the Internet lately). Here's the listing:

Will purchase now if genuine. Love the size and color. I like large to XL bags only that are in new or excellent condition.
It appears to be an authentic made for factory Voyager multi tote/diaper bag.
 
Genuine or no? Thanks in advance!

Item: Vintage Coach Black Leather 1970s Shoulder or Handbag -- Made in the US

It's authentic. It's from around 1990, not the 70s as the seller claims. It is a large Plaza Court Bag. The style is one of my favorites - it looks like the bag is smiling!

You should ask the seller about what conditioning he/she does to the bag. Some people might use conditioners that have silicone, which is bad for leather, or polish, which is almost impossible to remove.
 
Hi - Normally I would post this in the other sub forum for Coach fakes, but this needs to go quickly and I noticed that anything posted in THIS forum gets pulled really quickly. Either someone from ebay is monitoring this thread or a lot of the readers here are on the ball with reporting.:yahoo:
ANyway, at least TWO of these bags are fakes, obvious from the linings, etc,
and the auction is nearing $100 already. Please help to get rid of it!
