I recently found a miniature C demi purse in red. Creed shows serial number number J2J-6622. I can't find this on the drilldown, and haven't seen it anywhere else. So i'm wondering if this means it's fake. Can every single Coach style be found in the drilldown? Is it better to give Coach a call? Thanks!

Most of the mini sig stuff is outlet exclusive so they wouldn't show up in the dd
 
Mini sig actually isn't an outlet exclusive

It's been discontinued, so it is only really seen at the outlets. I would imagine that soon enough it will be gone from there too, so gals if you like your mini sig, now's the time to stock up!
This is actually not true. There is stuff that is discontinued from the retail store that is mini signature and there is also made for outlet bags that are outlet exclusive and mini sig. Those bags that are there now wit the white bottoms, the duffles are all made for the outlets and mini sig.

you're right, I should have said that part, there have always been lines of mini sig just for the outlets, my point was that any boutique lines have been discontinued and possibly sent to the outlets.

sorry for the confusion
 
General question about Hamptons carryalls...

The ones in the store now have round rings that the little brass clasp connects to (see picture):

But on eBay occasionally ones like this occur with D-rings instead of circles:

Is that indication of a fake, or was hardware like that ever actually used?

Also, how many feed should they have on the bottom? The new ones have four, one at each corner, but I've seen them on eBay with an extra metal foot in the center of the bottom.

Just curious, since I was outbid on a bag, and I'm continuing the search. I hope to know what I'm looking at before I bid next time. :)

some of them definitely have 5 feet on the bottom, not sure about the D rings though.
