Thanks for posting the additional pics! It's hard to tell. The creed looks a bit better in this pic, but I'd still like to see a straight-on picture of the creed (not angled from above). Could you also post a picture of the hangtag and the Coach stamp on the leather bottom? I'd also wait to hear what others have to say about this bag.

Was this bag sold as new with tags? It looks like there are some marks and the hardware seems scratched up (but maybe it's magnified by the large pics). Is there YKK on the zipper? Does the leather feel like real, good quality leather?

The packing list and tag pictured in the auction are NOT for this bag. It could be that the seller got the tags mixed up with another bag. The creed and other details look ok to me, but I would wait for a second opinion. I don't own this bag - could someone who does confirm if it's ok that the C's aren't lined up on the bottom of the bag?

More pictures coming up!! Thanks so much for such quick replies, I think I just found my new favorite site!
So YES it was sold as new with tags, and the pics definitely magnify the scratches b/c I didn't even notice them until looking at the pics. The zipper has a small YKK imprint on the side (where the ring goes thru it). It is leather for sure, I can tell by the smell, but I have to be honest, I don't really know how to tell if it's good quality or not.... seems to be tho.
When you say a straight on of the creed, do you mean the seam?

Welcome to the forum!
By straight on, I mean a picture of it with the camera facing it. The picture you have is sort of angled from the top. I know it's hard to get a straight picture, it helps if you unzip the zippered pocket and pull the creed up out of the bag so you can get a good shot of it.

Here is a shot from each side of the seams:




And the tags:





The thing that bugs me the most is the little bits of the C pattern showing at the seams that do not match up with anything else.... also the ring for the zipper seems a teensy bit flimsy or something... and the other thing is that a friend has a similar purse (same style I think but diff. color) and the leather part of the pull on the zipper is more straight, this one angles out..... ????

Uh oh, that tag is not looking good. Real Coach price tags don't look like that. The hangtag also looks funny to me.

I just took a look at the website where you bought the bag and the majority, if not all, of the bags being sold on there are fake. What is their return policy? Please try to get your money back asap.

Thanks so much, starrymaz! If anyone else could take a look and let me know what they think, I would really appreciate it! I'm really considering going for it, but I'm always scared of getting a fake on eBay.

I found another of this style on the bay but the lining looks different. Can anyone compare them and tell me if either is authentic? Thanks so much!

Please wait for someone more experienced to confirm for you, but the first bag definitely *looks* authentic to me--I've seen it IRL, and all the details seem to match. However, the creed on the 2nd bag doesn't match the first, so hopefully someone can help you more. I'm not really sure why they wouldn't match, but maybe that's normal?
