I'm VERY concerned that what you say is the selling website seems to be using Coach's own copyrighted photos in some of their listings without Coach's permission. Buying bags from a Coach outlet, whether directly or through an Ebay seller, does not give them permission to use Coach's copyrighted photos. Even if they found those photos on the internet, Coach owns all legal rights to the photos and graphics if they were first published on Coach's website.

In the US, the use of a company's photos or website graphics without the written consent of that company is againt the law. It's impossible for me to recommend buying from a seller who violates copyright laws, and since I know that Singapore has a very strong reputation of being a country that is very serious about enforcing their own laws and all international laws, I am surprised that a website would risk a complaint of copyright and trademark violation from Coach LLC. If you had asked us before you bought it, we probably would have recommended that you not buy it just because the seller is violating US laws.

Someone else will have to authenticate the bag, if it's possible to do so, because I don't know enough about newer styles. We need to see photos of the inside of the price tag with all the production numbers and codes. There are also 2 small fabric tags inside the bag that we need to see, along a seam or in the inside of one of the inside pockets. One shows the country where it was made, the other will have several groups of numbers and letters that show the codes for the plant, month and year and the style number. It can be hard to find, and you may have to turn the pockets inside out to find it and photograph it.

Hi Hyacinth,
Thank you for your time and response.
I am contemplating where to buy this coach bag until i ended up buying from this website, as there are good reviews on the delivery.
As much as i wanted to buy directly from coach-usa website(it is actually cheaper there), i have qualms on the delivery. And the truth is, I didn't thought about the violations, but you are right about it.
Also, i cannot find this particular model in the coach outlets here:(

With regards to the tags, I didn't find the model tag inside. Only the, "made in.." which is thisIMG_1486391974.480532.jpgIMG_1486392000.559999.jpg

Thanks again for your help.

Comments: Jack Russell key ring purchased from estate sale. We have never seen one with the little hang tag attached.

Thank you.

The hang tag portion is definitely fake and might have been added to a genuine fob.

There's one slight difference on the front of the dog that has me seeking other opinions. While I believe the dog portion is genuine, I've seen genuine items both with and without the spot on the front foot.

The other tag is probably hiding deep down inside the zipper pocket. You make have to pull out the fabric and turn the pocket inside out.

So far, the bag seems okay but, like Hyacinth, I never would have recommended this site.

It looks good. It's a Carlyle. The style was introduced in Winter 1990. I don't know if they did more than one run so some could have been made later.

Thanks whateve!
(FYI I have those scanned catalogs too and also only found it in the winter 1990 preview. Cute style, but this one has some loose threads around the ends of the "tubular collar treatment"; made me curious if any of you experts heard that was problem with this style and that they discontinued it. If not a problem I might hold out for one in better shape.)
