Hi I found this COACH bag at a community yard sale. I did some research to determine whether it is fake or real. I have come to the conclusion that it's real, I just want some opinions of other people.
Sorry for the blurry pics, it's hard for me to hold a camera with one hand and take a picture without it coming out blurry. I shake really bad I guess.







I want to add that every single piece of hardware says COACH on it even the zipper pull for the inside zipper. This bag is very well made, there are no overlaps in the leather and all the stitches are straight. There is a little bit of wear on the strap where it connects to the ring but other then that, the purse is in great shape. It looks like it has been used a lot but has really held up to wear and tear. That's what makes me think that it's authentic. It is just a very sturdy purse. I told my boyfriend's sister about it and when I told her what I paid she automatically said it was a NY Knock off.
Thanks!

The seller is using some stock photos on her other auctions, which is weird. Ask for a pic of the lining.

Hi,

Just to add to margaritaxmix's comments. That person has 0 feedback as a seller. Plus she has stolen 5 pictures from Coach.com. Who knows from where she got the pictures of the bag you are interested in.

If she doesn't send you pictures of the actual bag I would Hit the "back button" and move on.
