Can someone authenticate these? Also, does anyone know the names of these bags? Thanks in advance!

and

In the future, please use the correct thread when asking for authentication - it's under the Coach Shopping header.

That said, both of these look ok. The first is a Hamptons Weekend Hobo from 2004.

The second is a very highly faked style and with a serial number that's also been used in thousands of fakes. Buyers have to be extremely careful when buying any Coach item with this A2J-6094 serial number, but this one looks ok - Signature Demi from 2002.

I hope this is the right place to ask a question about the Legacy Zips 9966. If not, please advise me and I'll post it where appropriate.

I know that style has been made in black, dark brown, and British tan. I'd like to know what other colors it's shown up in, particularly in bags that were made in the U.S. Any ideas?

TIA.

Do you have a specific bag that you're concerned about? There's no way to tell which colors were used for US-made bags. A few colors I can think of would be Navy and Red but you need to be more specific about what you're trying to figure out.

No, not really, Hyacinth. I have it in the basic colors, all made in the U.S. but would like to look for US.- made ones in colors. I just don't know whether they exist.

I can post this is the discussion forums if that would be more appropriate.

Why not just keep a Search open at Ebay?

Yes, I can do that. I just wondered whether anyone could tell me if it would be in vain or not, whether it did come in additional colors or just the basics.

So run a Search, save it and specify that you get emails when new items are found. There's a post here and several in the following pages on how to use Ebay's search effectively:

Is there a problem with my asking a question about the colors that this bag may have come in? Should I post this in the discussion forums instead?

You can ask questions but Hyacinth is just helping you so you can do your own searches in addition to asking question.

It's kind of the old "hand a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach the man to fish and he eats for a lifetime" theory.

Oh, okay. Yes, I do have a saved search for that style. I just was curious as to the other colors.

So wait until something comes up in your Search, then ask. If you don't want certain colors coming up in your search, there's a way to do that.

I have a saved search for that style, Hyacinth. But I was simply curious about the breadth of colors available and was wondering what I might find out by asking. IMO, a saved search and a query are not incompatible.

Maybe a silly question but....I picked this leather piece up recently thrifting & am wondering if it is a mens eyeglass case? It is a sturdy leather with a soft suede lining, measuring 3"x6" & quite thin. Thanks!

It seems pretty thin for an eyeglass case. Maybe a case for an older cellphone? It's about the right size.

Ah, yes! That makes more sense. Funny how technology moves so quick that the memory of a larger cellphone didn't even come to my mind. Thanks again, Hyacinth! Now, I'm gonna try to think of some ways to use my 'new' find.
