I reported it to e-bay 3 days ago before there were any bids so I am surprised this listing is still there. Was I wrong

Thanks

You were 100 percent correct, pzold, thanks for posting it! That seller has already cheated at least six buyers who thought they were getting real Coach jewelry. I just reported all her Current and Completed listings for Coach items.

And here are some more pics of the black one (problems I see include the lines over the serial number and the seam right in the middle of the bottom):









And the green One (never seen anything about a patent written on a coach and the imprint on the creed is pretty light):

Are we talking about three different bags here? There doesn't seem to be a link for the black one.

And you're very lucky that you asked here BEFORE contacting the sellers, because what I see in the photos looks completely genuine and you would have been accusing honest sellers of selling fakes.

I need to see photos of the outside of the black bag and of the creed stamps for the brown and green bags, but please remember, these are bags from ten years ago and Coach has made a lot of changes in those years. Anyone who's not familiar with the design details of classic Coach leather bags needs to look over the listings on eBay before automatically assuming something is fake because the details are different from current bags.

The things you think are fake on the black bag are several of the things that prove it's genuine. It should be about 9x9 inches and was called a Buckle Bag.

The brown one looks like a Bleecker Satchel, style #9303, and I'll need a serial number or a photo of the creed to ID the green one.

But THEY'RE ALL GENUINE, as far as I can see.

I think the Gigis are vintage leather rather than vachetta but either way I doubt if the stains would ever come out and you'd probably end up ruining the leather. But I'm not an expert on either of those leathers.

But the one you're asking about is genuine, just remember that it's 20 years old and is showing some wear.

hmmmmm interesting. i guess i am a fan of the camel color and older styles... thank you so much!

If you look through her feedback you will see she has already sold this same bag, exact same pics as well, another concern is she has sold a lot of her items way to cheaply. without more pictures its impossible to be sure about the bag itself. I would be leary of this one.

Thanks Rendodan110

i am thinking about having a bid, Will i have much come back if i pay via paypal and it arrives fake?

I will only buy it if i know i can get my cash back from paypal. HMM...its a toughie

[nickkyvintage]

She has just message me back saying it has a "black fabric" lining, are the carlys lined in a silk like material or cotton? any advice would be very much appreciated! x

thats a tough question I have never had to return an item because it was misrepresented, several of the other ladies on here have mentioned how difficult it has been, I would wait for someone who has dealt with paypal and *bay to chime in.

Please don't bid! This is fake. It looks wrong. And as rendodan says the seller has already sold this same fake in another auction. And she has also sold a fake medium Carly. I would stay away from this seller.

the carlys i have seen are black fabric as well but without pics of the creed and some better pics of the actual bag its hard to authenticate. she has used the same picture in 2 listings so I dont know if that picture is of that bag or the one she already sold. KWIM?

Thanks Starry I was pretty sure, but am glad to have your opinion as well! it seemed awfully fishy to me.

This looks good. The Clay Legacy leathers are notorious for showing scratches. This one actually doesn't look as badly scratched as some of the other Clay Gigis I've seen. It's natural for this type of leather to show marks and scratches. I think it adds character to the bag.
