The pictures, especially the creed photo, need to be bigger. I can't tell what the third digit is and that's really important in this case. I don't have a good feeling about that one though, whether the third digit is a C or a G. Can we ask if you already own it and where you bought it? And can you check and see if there's anything stamped on the backs of the strap buckles?
Thanks..never too many bags....I'm getting dangerously close to the bottom of the pile~the bags that need way too much work~not in the mood to tackle them just now..CHEERS! S.
well its gone..another buyer who should have done her homeework and another seller who doesn't do her own research..kinda makes me sick to patronize that seller..but ..life goes on..and who knows what I will receive in the post?? But Ladies! you will be the first to know...Its been ages since I bought a new bag~or maybe a week..COACH TIME WARP! yup..that fits in well with COACH MATH!!:lolots: sweet dreams

It doesn't match other creeds I have in my files for the same plant and year. You haven't shown enough details in order for me to determine if there are other problems with the bag.
Here are some detailed closeups of various parts of the bag -hangtag, buckles front and back, Bottom edge binding join, interior (2 shots) interior pocket edge, top binding join, drawstring pull, strap top. Let me know if you need more; I can only upload 10 pics at a time and I'm not sure what exactly you are looking for. Please excuse the excess of dog hair - I couldn't find a better place to get the details at this time of night without waking everyone up

This is enough, thank you. In the future, don't waste your time taking a picture of the hangtag. Since it is easily removed and an authentic hangtag can be put on a fake bag, we don't normally use them for authentication.
The thing that holds the two ends of the drawstring together only has stitching along the center. On an authentic bag, it is stitched on the top and bottom as well. I believe the shape of the tab at the end of the drawstring is wrong. It gets narrower towards the end. On my authentic bag, it is the same width all along. It looks like the prong of the buckle is pointed rather than flat. I think the shape of the tab that attaches the buckles to the sides of the bag is wrong. There is some sloppy stitching and the end of the strap looks terrible. All of this plus the bad creed make me confident that it isn't authentic.
Here are pictures of some of the details of an authentic bag that you can compare to yours.

It's a genuine Retro Lindy Bag style 9003 from the Limited Edition Retro 50th Anniversary collection from 1991.
I thought I had this authenticated but cannot find it in a search or by going through all my posts.

I don't remember authenticating it. It's an authentic Laurel bag 4112 from the Lightweights collection from around 1991.
