would seem to be a lot of effort to fake these kinds of items. just wondering.

thanks!

I've seen photo holder keychains faked, but not the other two - yet. But all of the items you asked about seem to be genuine.

Thanks! I wonder how the fake photo holders look like. It's so hard to tell on ebay because they usually just take one photo of the item and it's usually small.

I guess that's why there's the authenticate-this thread!! ;)

Hi!
I'm trying to get a scarf print clutch on ebay, but the problem is that all of them are of different colours!
An ebay seller told me that scarf print pieces can have different colours compared to the pictures that are provided by Coach, is that true?

and this is the one Coach provided..

Would someone please teach me how to identify an authentic scarf print from an unauthentic one?
Thank you so so so much!

First, a HUGE thank you to you smart ladies for doing this!

I had one comment re: dustbags:
Dustbags come in two main looks. The outlet bag is white with red lettering, while the full-price one is brown with red lettering. Both say “COACH est. 1941” and have a red drawstring.

I have several Coach bags that I purchased myself at stand-alone boutiques and department stores -- they all came in brown dustbags with WHITE lettering, located on the lower right-hand corner (red side stitching and drawstring though). Is this unusual/new?

Some background: All of my self-bought Coaches are less than 2 years old, and I don't have the dustbags for the ones that my mom gave me, so I can't compare older vs. newer models. But I can't fault my sweet, forgetful mom for losing them -- she passed down some beautiful older bags to me (not to mention a life-long Coach addiction!)

Sorry if this has been answered already. I searched the thread first, but didn't find it on here. Just wondering if anyone knows if Coach swapped the red silkscreen for white, or if both dustbags are still in circulation.

Thanks in advance!

The patterns on bags like the Scarf Prints will almost never match the one on the Coach site. As for telling real from fake, post the auction link at the Authenticate This thread and let other boardies take a look.

The retail store dustbags should be brown with white lettering and a red drawstring. Those are being copied by counterfeiters too so never depend on a dustbag to prove that a bag's real.

Quick question about the creed...
for this bag: http://www.coach.com/assets/product_images/drilldown1/10125_d1.jpg
the 06 in the first part of the creed denotes the year of production, correct?
Well I found this bag on ebay, but the year in the creed in 07, not 06. Does this mean it's a fake or can the exact same bags have different years of production? Thanks so much!

There are lots of bags that have been made for more than one year, the Signature Demi #6094 came out in either 2000 or 2001 and is sill being made. Unfortunately the style number also shows up a lot on fakes. And the leather Station Bag has been made since the 1970's.
