Almost could pass. Pretty good fake for a newbie. She even lists it as a grade A Coach rep.

That one's already gone, but if you're asking if a bag is fake, the Authenticate This thread is under Coach Shopping -
Authenticate This Coach

If you want to point out a really ugly fake and you're SURE it's counterfeit, go to Coach and then to Funniest/Worst Fakes Ever! -
Funniest/Worst Fakes Ever!!!: Coach edition

Either way, if it's fake it'll get reported.

Does this seem like a correct number? when would this have been made? L2S7587 please help

I have a legacy stripe quedtion, particularly on small items like the wristlet and framed wristlet. Are the colors supposed to be consistently the same in the same place? For instance, if this is the drilldown, does that mean the green stripe will always be on the bottom?

The placement of the colored stripes can vary, though the color of the stripes will always be in a set order. It depends on at which point the sheet of fabric was cut.

Can a creed read: No L032-F10945? I am not sure if the "F" should be included in there. TIA

There's no way to tell if a number is correct or a bag is genuine without seeing pictures of the bag. Many fakes have the correct numbers. If the item is genuine it would be from 2002, but there's no way of being sure if that's correct without seeing the item.

Are you sure you copied the number correctly? That serial number doesn't seem right. F usually means an item was made for the outlet but the year code doesn't make sense.

It shouldve been L0732-F10945. This comes from this old listing.

That makes more sense. But if you need to know if that specific bag is ok, you should ask at the Authenticate This thread. If you just want to know if it's possible for that bag to have that number, I can only say the year code and first part of the number is possible. I'm not familiar with that style and don't know if that's the right style number, but someone at Authenticate This will probably know.

I was interested in the numbers. Ive never seen the "F" thing before.

wrong thread...

I have a question about the Tattersall pattern. Is it the same as the legacy stripe where there's a specific pattern of colors following each other? And if so, are they specific to direction as well? For instance if it goes blue, green, orange yellow (just making up he color pattern), then only the lines that are horizontal go in that pattern and the vertical lines have their own color order?

I've seen some wallets on eBay that match the same pattern in the same direction as the Coach website, but I've also seen ones that match the color order but are different directions. So if on Coach the order of colours are for the horizontal stripes, the Ebay wallet will have the same order but for the vertical stripes.

Clear as mud? Am I making any sense? lol!
