Just wanted to share my stunning tearose charms from @LunaSilver! I LOVE THEM.

This kisslock bag is surprisingly useful and I can't wait to take it somewhere. One of my favorite things to do in the summer is dine on the patio of my favorite restaurant with my BOTD and my Nook. I go during off hours, usually 1pm to 4pm, and sit outside and read for hours. I like to go alone with my bag as my date. Last summer, my rust Pony was my last bag date of the season. This summer, my kisslock bag will be my first bag date of the season. It's a silly little thing to do but it's something I enjoy. I can't wait for nice weather again!!
 
Received my $45 bottle green carousel today!! I only purchased it to get the strap because I thought the bag itself was super ugly from the pictures. Now that I have it in hand, I actually really like how it looks & I don’t see myself parting with it, lmao. It doesn’t show any major signs of wear but Im still gonna dunk it to re-shape. Really pretty tea rose charm courtesy of @LunaSilver :loveeyes::

Would you be willing to post comp pics of the Carousel and maybe a Court, Willis, or Station? This is one bag that I'm insanely curious about. It looks so small.

Is your 9989 navy? It looks great.
 
Repair like that should be disclosed in the listing.
Where did you buy it? If they weren't disclosed you should return. I usually don't have problem with PM when this happens. No matter what the seller argues I don't reply and just wait for Poshmark support and they have always sided with me.. (except for a fake bag long time ago.)
I purchased from EBAY and the seller was great! Apologized for missing it and is going to take the return. I was dreading a battle and feel very relieved.
 
I do the same thing with a fake Willis, it was the first fake ever found with an always-fake 0974-534 serial number, and I had the honor(!) of adding the number to the original Daria48 Fake Coach Numbers list at least 10 years ago at Ebay. GO ME! :biggrin:

And it also disproves one statement in the Coach Screed, that "no vintage fakes were ever made of full-grain leather", because this one definitely is. The pores are obvious even with just a 10x loupe.

I have a small collection of full-grain fakes I use for reference. I actually find them really interesting- they have similarities to each other and are well made. Very different from the poor quality fake bags.
I really wonder about who made them. They are so similar in quality and design I wonder of they are grey market/former worker bags. They would not have been cheap to make.
 
Can I pop in for breakfast too? No I can't , too far away...
I wanted to ask that too! Except I'm not even in the same country.

My ex-bf used to make THE BEST stuffed hashbrowns! He would put hashbrowns, butter, grilled onion, a variety of peppers, diced ham, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, a seasoning called Good S**t (really!) and then when everything was cooked he would sprinkle grated cheese on top and let it all melt together. Oh. My Gosh. So good! The only thing I miss about him.

Love the charms with those gorgeous bags!

Sounds like my Willis. Compared even to other 0974-534 fakes we've seen, mine is very well-made, the leather is definitely Coach quality and is deliciously thick, soft and smooshy, and even the creed only has one spelling mistake, "scar" instead of "scars", (aside from the too-wide spacing of many words) compared to similar fakes we've seen that can have close to ten spelling and punctuation mistakes. The one thing I should have noticed before it was too late to return it was the too short zipper on the inside pocket. But I never carried it and didn't even look closely at it or even read the creed until I was updating my insurance list and then found another fake with the exact same serial number just a few days later.

We just looked at another style with the same fake number at the Authenticate thread and BB posted a photo of an identical messed up creed from yet another bag showing how bad the creed mistakes in those 0974-534 fakes can sometimes be, NINE mistakes in spelling and punctuation if I'm counting correctly.

Reproduced here for your edification and enjoyment. English teachers, please take a deep breath and get out your red pencils:

So a reminder - always read the creeds before you buy!
