Vintage Coach Photos & Chat

[LunaSilver]

If it's a deliberate fake report by a tPF hater, I'll bet I can put a name - a name and an alias actually - and a few private Facebook page URLs to it. Oh - and a new "authentication service" too.

I'm sorry this happened to you.

I'll be posting more on the subject within the next few days. Watch this space.

I have reported fakes on Etsy, obvious fakes, and often Etsy took no action. I don’t get why they’d close your shop when you had handmade items too. Btw, I love the tea rose charms you made me! I need to take a photo of them on some of my bags.

Thank you ladies for the support. I will be waiting to watch the updates.

That’s the first thing I thought of when I read your post. Definitely a jealous TPF hater reporting you. Etsy is an absolute joke. I report many fakes that never get taken down. I really wish they would tell you the name of the user who reported you because chances are none of us will be surprised by who it is.

I couldn't have said it better myself. There's been a lot of this kind of BS lately, and I'll bet that a few court orders to Ebay, Etsy, Posh and Mercari would turn up the same name or cluster of names doing the false reporting. Just like a little Cult.

How many plaintiffs do there have to be to file a class-action lawsuit?

Oh yeah, baby it’s real.

WE HAVE A WINNAH!!!!!! Give that lady a CEE-GAR!

@hetha2001 .....there is a compare between patty and shoulder about page 28 or something. Sorry...for some reason reply not working for me.

Um, yes. You were kind enough to do it for ME when I was Patricia-curious. I forgot. Pandemic-brain. Thank you. It entry #443 on page 30 if anyone else needs it!

I think the Shoulder is too small. Ugh. I really love the old, plain, unadorned vintage leather Coach bags, but for the size I need, they just may not work. I need open storage and the ability to carry cross-body.

For other purposes, I do have beautiful vintage Coach in a Devon cross-body, a Waverly hand-held and Soft Satchel shoulder, all of which I adore... for big bags I may need to try the Ergo large/XL or something else completely, even though it's shoulder carry only.

I just wish I could find a simple, vintage leather Coach bag that I can wear cross-body that won't hurt my aging back/shoulders.

So...its now @Paris Girl and @houseof999 thats all of us want to go on a handbag tour of their collections....trying not to drool the whole time.

Don't forget @Jacynthe she's posted about 172,735 thrift bags in the AT thread since I've been posting here. I wonder how she travels with all of them when she goes back home.

I imagine someone saying "ma'am, I need to check your bag."

I got an email from Etsy's Marketplace Integrity yesterday, to inform me they closed my shop at Etsy's for listing faks. I got an warning last week for listing a "fake" blue 9136 small pocket zip, my only other listing (beside the hand made tea rose charms) was a 1999 limited edition made in Italy Python Clutch, it was deemed " fake" again, thus they closed my account.
I feel Etsy's Marketplace Integrity team is such a joke, as both bags are absolutely authentic, they were both authenticated at time of purchase, last week I requested the blue 9136 to be looked at again at AT thread (page 4007), and forward the link to that page to Etsy's, to appeal my case. Instead of fixing their err, they decided to close my account.
Honestly I don't mind at all, as I was overwhelmed with has to maintain a leather work shop, I am a very lazy person, will only do things when I feel like it. It is kind of a relief they closed my shop.
Still it doesn't make sense why they do such thing, as I see plenty of fakes listed at Etsy's and they did nothing, the only time they did something turned out they were completely wrong. I have no interest to give any of my future business to Etsy's, will just stick to good old eBay instead.
For record, here are my two " fakes" that Etsy's ruled as against their policy

Thank you house. The whole thing is very strange, I think either the person at Etsy's marketplace or the person kept on reporting my listings is a TPF hater, I was very new to Etsy's and didn't have a chance to do anything to get an enemy for myself there. I was active on TPF, and my tea rose charms and my shop's name were mentioned on TPF multiple times. That is only explanation I can think of. Doesn't really matter to me anyway.
ETA: if it was because of fake reporting, apparently the reporter's opinion was trusted by Etsy's.

I swear, bag shopping shouldn't be this ugly. It's disgusting. Adults acting this way over used handbags. I'm sorry for the fake reports. Of all the fakes on Etsy. Unbelievable.

Guess it's kinda my fault since I talk about how I love your charms so much...guess somebody is paying attention to me. Hello, whoever you are Luna is the sweetest, most caring person...I really can't believe somebody could be mean to her on purpose and sleep at night.

Why anyone would be so petty over cute little bag charms is beyond me- which I received mine a few days ago and it looks adorable on my green station bag!

Thank you for the link. I did have a Taft but had the same problem as with the Patricia. I love love love the look of the Taft (and Patricia), but it's too much leather, I think. It is too heavy and overwhelms me. That is partly why I was interested in the Lightweights bag. I actually had, and just sold, an Ergo from this line, the 10740. It was lovely, too small. Maybe I will start searching for the XL version!

There is an pleated Ergo Crossbody bag called the Messenger 12249 that might meet your needs. The listing below includes a photo next to a water bottle to help you gauge the size:

COACH Ergo Natural Tan Leather Pleated Crossbody Messenger Purse Bag | eBay

Interior Zip Pocket. 2 Multi Pocket Organizer for cell phones, keys. Inner Key Ring for Accessory, Keyfob or Wristlet, etc. Authentic Embossed Leather Creed with Serial Number. - Colors shown on-screen can vary from computer to computer.

But they DON'T sleep at night. That's when they fly out to suck blood from unsuspecting humans.

I laugh, but in reality it's sad.

I'm sure it looks beautiful! Too bad for the lurker...we that love her work know where to find her anyway.

I question if these people have a life beyond bags. Like do y’all not have jobs? Hobbies? Friends? Family? Who has the TIME to be so petty?! Smh

I would like to thank everyone for the overwhelming love and support you all offered to me, this forum is truly a great place where strangers become friends, and care about one another. Still with very heavy heart I must announce that I probably was deadly wrong, to jump into the conclusion a TPF hater was behind it. As the person we all think about contacted me via my eBay account this morning, to inform me he and his group did not report any of my listings, and I believe it’s true, otherwise no need for him to contact me to clear the air.
It is quite possible that my shop was on Ets’s radar because it was very new with no proven credit. Also I was partial responsible for listing the 2005 made blue 9136 bag,I did not know non vintage can not be listed on Etsy until today. Had Etsy gave me the correct reason (non vintage)when they removed my 9136 listing, I would not be upset at all because it was my fault not read all the fine print. Instead they removed it as counterfeit mentioned nothing about non vintage.
As to the 1999 Python Clutch, Etsy was totally wrong on that one.
I am terribly sorry to misleading you all thinking it was a TPF hater reported me, my action just added more damage to already troubled situation, I must admit that I made a mistake and hope you all can forgive me, I am very sorry...

I'm glad that you figured it out and I can see why the creed plate for the python clutch might be confusing. I have a numbered, Italian lizard clutch that has a similar metal creed plate. I had trouble interpreting the creed but @Hyacinth helped me out, see the link below:

I Finally Got One! Rare, Italian, Exotic, Numbered, Hand-Made, and Vintage!

I have a weakness for the vintage "Made in Italy" Madison and Gramercy Coach bags from the 1990s, they just seem so special and lady-like! I have collected quite a few of the Italian bags over the years but I've always wanted one of the Limited-edition, numbered, Coach bags that were hand-made...
