Hi This thread is great I have learned alot from just looking on here. What stumped me always was those pesky metal hang tags, and of course the lining on the inside. I have seen many with Coach C lining, that are Coach sigs.

....now I know those are fake.....and as for the metal tags, they must be smooth....Thanks for the info....

I'm wondering which metal tags are supposed to be smooth? I just won an older ergo with a metal tag with the word "Coach" raised, not smooth. Should I be worried?

Another question: The one I just got was made in China which I know is the norm but I've seen some made in Turkey. Were/are some Coach purses made in Turkey? Thanks!

Color me confused. I am looking for the large denim Carly, 10795. This seller says that is the number of the bag but the measurements are for 10619. I asked her which bag it was and this was the response:

"Hi, My measurements are correct. This bag is not this season's but a prior one. It is definetly a large. Coach makes subtle changes each season. I hope this helps."

Here is the auction, any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I was under the impression that the Carly style was brand new as of late 2006. They only made them in the certain ones until around spring. It's either a spring or summer 2007 bag.

Hmm.

Wish the picture of the creed was better.

Coach did make some bags in Turkey. The ones I've seen have a serial number prefix of "K(x)2" where x would be the year code, but there may have been other codes too.

Don't use hangtags as a way to authenticate Coaches, lots of older bags have lost their original tags. The creed stamp or patch is a much better guide. What was the auction number of the bag you won?

Hi Hyacinth, Thank you for the info.

The auction number is 290142445194

The bag looks fine and matches the drilldown but there's no hangtag in the picture. Still, I wouldn't worry about it. It's a really pretty color too.

Are there a lot of knock offs of these:

it's an adorable bag. and there is quite a few on eBay. just wondering if it's a safe bet that these bags are hard to replicate, thus safe to bid on on Ebay (besides looking at feedback, too)

thanks!

I don't think I've ever seen that one faked. They were pretty common (and inexpensive) at the outlets and most outlet-only bags fly pretty low on the counterfeiter's radar. The crooks like to rip off the popular and high profit bags like the Sig Stripes and the Carlys.

Since I am new to the site. I was trying to look into past topics that might help me. For some reason or other. I can't get these pictures to load. Is it due to an older post. Or is it just me whom can't view the pictures of this post.

Seems like an informative thread. I just wish I was able to see the pictures that were attached...
