My thought is that I wouldn't touch that bnag or any similar listing from that seller suthrnatmosphere with a 10-foot pole.

STOLEN copyrighted website photo from Coach. Illegal and a violation of Coach's website policy AND US Copyright laws. NEVER BUY FROM A PHOTO THIEF.
NO PHOTOS OF THE ACTUAL BAG. Seller can't even be bothered to list the style number so I doubt very much if they're "shipping from the factory"
From the shipping time in the listings the seller is apparently DROP_SHIPPING the bags from an outside source, NOT from the manufacturer. ALWAYS a problem, even if the item turns out to be genuine.

THEY CAN'T EVEN GET THEIR DESCRIPTIONS RIGHT !!!

"CROC LEATHER WALLET" - CROCK is right. It's just embossed patent.

This one not only shows a description for a wallet AND IS DESRIBED AS "BRAIDED" IN THE TITLE EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NO SIGN OF ANY BRAIDING, BUT THE BAG ITSELF looks like a piece of Canal Street CWAP - waiting for confirmation from the other authenticators, pics below of the Pink Monstrosity-

I'd rant and rave a while longer but I have to report at least one POS and look for more
DO NOT BUY FROM " suthrnatmosphere "

ETA - and here's ANOTHER fake !!! They can't even be bothered to put the emblem on straight - and it's described as a Swingpack!!!!

ANYONE WHO KNOWS MICHAEL KORS MIGHT WANT TO LOOK THROUGH THIS SELLER'S LISTINGS TOO. There are more fake coaches too, so anyone who wants to help report is welcome.

I just reported almost 50 listings and that doesn't include all the Completeds. EVERY SINGLE "COACH" ITEM LISTED BY "
suthrnatmosphere " IS PROBABLY FAKE, AND AT LEAST 90 PERCENT ARE PROVEABLE FAKES JUST FROM THE ONE PHOTO THEY SHOW. THIS ISN'T JUST FAKES-SELLING, IT'S MASSIVE FRAUD.

I also posted at the Michael Kors board and suggested they might want to go through the seller's listings, some of those "MK" items look just as cr@ppy as the fake Coaches.

It could even be a hijacked account, the prices are too similar and the descriptions were just copied from unrelated items.

Hello. I received this bag as a hand-me-down from my sweet aunt. I know nothing about Coach bags. I wondered if someone could please help me identify it? When I search for the serial number, most of the bags that show up do not look like this one. If possible, if someone could authenticate it, I'd be grateful. Though I have no reason to be believe it isn't real. Thank you! -Kim

There's a good reason why nothing else matches the serial number. This one is a fake. The serial number doesn't have the correct font, and the prefix isn't valid and has been found in hundreds of fakes already. And the style number isn't even close to the style that bag is trying to be.

It can't be sold or traded anywhere in the US under Federal law. Sorry about your aunt, but someone stuck her with a fake Coach.

Hi all! I'm looking to get this beautiful bag authenticated!
Item Name: British Tan Court Bag
Link (if available): User /u/mand3rin is selling it here
A picture of the creed is here
Click to expand...

A picture of the creed isn't enough to authenticate. We need to see photos of the entire bag. Post number One in this thread lists the details we need to see in a Coach bag. There aren't any obvious red flags in the creed but that's not enough to show us that it's real.
