When I first saw this, I thought the seller had made a mistake in the listing of this bag which is obviously meant to be a Taft, and seller sent me a closeup of the creed with style number, it is 9954 instead of 9980 as listed per attached photo - bad photo but is it worth asking for a better one or a clear fake? Thanks as always.


Item: Large VTG Coach Bag/Crossbody Style 9954 "Prairie Bag" Black Leather/Brass*USA
Item#: 291480201480
Seller: piotras1967

Clearly a fake - not just a wrong style number but it looks like there are problems with the strap and a major piece of hardware. And even the pathetically partial creed photo is showing problems that a more complete photo would confirm - and there's no reason why the seller can't get a decent creed photo with that big of a bag.

AND the serial number is from more than a YEAR before that style was even introduced.

That bag was mentioned on the EBay fashion board too.

Really? How did I ever miss that!?!?! Please send me a link PM.

Damn, THAT'S where I saw that POS before. No wonder I couldn't find any record of reporting it.

I noticed it is missing the hangtag, the edges of the patches are rough, and the stitching is extremely crooked. I don't own this one to compare. Is it fake?

The second one has a 2-piece 2-color rectangular box that's always fake, the bee's eyes are too small, and there aren't enough stitches in any of the body segments (the bee's butt should always have 9 or 10 stitches). The fakes' head is too small too.

Here are a real one and the stock photo:

Hello, Is this an early Station Bag? Thanks

Yes, it is an authentic station bag from around 1990. I wonder if the multifunction purse wallet is included.

Thank you! I know, gotta hate it when things are pictured like this multifunction case & nothing is said about them as to if included or not.
