Authenticate This Coach

[triple7]

I actually did google arealine before I bought and found them on several postings saying they were legit... but now I'm not sure. It's so hard to tell! If anyone knows for sure please let me know. Thanks so much!! This is a great site.

Sorry, I don't own that wallet so I really can't say for sure, but I'm not seeing any obvious mistakes.

Was Starrymaz commenting on the Patchwork the seller sold recently? The creed does look a bit funky but I'm wondering if that's because of the lighting and the camera angle.

Just be sure to pay with a credit card, just in case.

Grr..looks like it's missing some beads :( http://cgi.ebay.com/COACH-Khaki-SIGNATURE-BEADED-Gallery-Tote-purse-8K52_W0QQitemZ360058029574QQihZ023QQcategoryZ63852 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Another one..but its blue :(

I can't say whether they're real but I know the beads on all those bags broke VERY easily, even the ones that make it to the outlets had broken beads. Unless someone treats their bags like a newborn baby, those beads are going to break.

The 2156 style is one of the most widely faked Coach styles and should only be bought from a trusted seller.

The creed looks off to me. Could you post more pics of the Coach stamping on the hardware on the the sides of the bag (where the handle attaches to the bag), the Coach stamp on the leather, the hangtag, the handle where the buckles are, and the inside of the bag, including the zipper pull on the inside pocket. Did this come with a price tag? If yes, please post a picture of that too.

I think they're both ok, but the first seller's claims of her Coach items being "collector's items" or "one of a kind" are complete bullpoop! The Denim Hobos were all over the outlets just a few months ago and the Hamptons Weekend Patchworks and Indigo Patchworks are all over the outlets right now. I personally don't like sellers who - I'm going to be polite and say exaggerate instead of lie - about how rare their items are when anyone who's walked into an outlet in the last 3 months knows better. And yes, I know a lot of people don't have access to a Coach outlet, but trying to claim something is rare when it isn't is misleading at best.

Hey ya'll. Can you tell me your thoughts on this watch? Does anyone know about the seller? Hyacinth advised the last watch I had a question about, but I don't think she's up right now.

Thanks so much!!
