Thanks for your feedback. I am a trading assistant on Ebay. These belong to a customer who says she had them authenticated. What are the clues that they are fake Coach Bags? I appreciate your input. All of the Coach auctions have been removed. I can't afford to lower my seller rating!!

IMO, This bag looks authentic, but other opinions are welcome. However, I do no like the fact that the seller states that "both bags are in really good condition and have rarely been used" when clearly the bag is VERY used. The bag is quite soiled on the outside and I noticed that there is a place were the fabric has been rubbed off. Also, on the bottom corners the leather trim is very worn too. Personally, I would try to find this bag on Ebay instead because they would probably be in better condition for the same price. Just my 2 cents about it! = )

You want to be really careful accepting the word of a consignor. They have good motive to lie and they have nothing to lose, whereas your reputation and your ebay account are at risk.

In the future, unless you purchased an item yourself from a legit department store or designers' factory outlet, it's a cheap investment to spend $5-$6 to have items professionally authenticated.

There are ebay/paypal approved authenticators whose findings are accepted as proof of authenticity (or un-authenticity). Adding a sentence to your listing that says, "this item has been authenticated by _________" adds credibility to your item.

As for how we know the items are fake, in your case, these items were easy calls, i.e., they were obvious bad fakes.

Without going into a lot of detail (since counterfeiters always have their eyes open to make a better fake), here are a couple of indicators:

http://cgi.ebay.com/COACH-Hobo-Hand...emQQptZUS_CSA_WH_Handbags?hash=item1c0eac10eb -- check out some Coach listings and look at the creeds. (The creed is the leather patch inside the bag.) You will never see an authentic bag with a serial number that looks like the serial number on this bag. You will also never see a creed with the stamping uneven and off-center like this.

http://cgi.ebay.com/COACH-XL-Tote-B...emQQptZUS_CSA_WH_Handbags?hash=item1c0eac52be -- This is what style 10619 should look like: http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=m38&_nkw=coach+10619

This listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/Signiture-COACH...emQQptZUS_CSA_WH_Handbags?hash=item1c0eabcbab
This is what 8F34 should look like:

You're welcome.

It's a pleasure to see a seller who does the right thing and ends the listings when she hears news that isn't what she was hoping to hear.

It's such a change from "who are you, the ebay police?" or "what makes you the expert?" or simply "get a life."

The bag looks ok authenticity-wise, but take note of the condition, as ola mentioned.

Authentic or not? Does anyone know the seller?

Thanks in advance:D

I'd like to see a closeup picture of the creed.

I wonder why this seller has a listing using Coach stock photos with a website's watermark on them. That particular website advertises "wholesale" designer bags. :confused1:

In the future, please use the format indicated in Post #1. This helps make it easier to search to see if an item or a seller has been asked about.

It's fake and so is this other bag from the same seller:
http://cgi.ebay.com/NWT-COACH-BONNI...emQQptZUS_CSA_WH_Handbags?hash=item2557d5ca8f

I'm no Dooney expert, but even I can tell that Dooney in the seller's feedback doesn't look right.
