Thanks for the correction but anyway color doesn’t correspond with production years of the Courier.
@LostInBal, the Courier started production in S/S 06, but when did it stop?
@clumsiest, please read the additional comments above. I’d consider obtaining the necessary photos and running it through the authentication thread.
that’s quite shocking since this is from a japanese store, not that it’s impossible to come across fakes in japan but one would expect not to 😭
i’ll check if i can get additional photos before purchasing 🥺
From 06 to 2010 if I’m not wrong. I’m not 100% sure that Courier is authentic so let’s wait for more pics.
At least we can spot fakes. What's driving me nuts is the proliferation of painted authentic bags, coupled with photography that conceals leather texture.Everywhere…it’s frustrating.
I can't imagine who is buying those? Somebody must be or they wouldn't keep appearing.. unless they are all just piling up.
... and that eBay is like, "blah blah blah, we reviewed your case and it is authentic, so the listing will stay."
Like, OK then lol.
Yeah, I've reported several with easily seen authentication mark issues and they also did the "blah blah blah" can't be bothered response.
This is true. The reporting feature on eBay doesn't work at all. I think it's some algo reviewing and shooting down the reports. I maintain hopes that their actual human authentication is better. They helped me once when they called to tell me an authentic bag (I already knew it was authentic) I'd bought didn't pass inspection because the leather had been painted.
They must use a different reporting system for Bal than Coach. Every Coach I report gets removed within minutes.
