I'm pretty new to this obsession (my husband: "another day, another purse" lol), but even I can see that this creed is crazy fake. If you see a fake on ebay or other site being listed as genuine, is there a way to report it? Do you think you should let the seller know in case they don't realize it? I don't want to turn people in, or upset anyone, but I also feel bad if a newbie gets fooled.

It isn't usually a good idea to contact the seller. Some sellers don't handle it well, and you can't predict which ones will be nice about it. Some will accuse you of harassing them, and when ebay removes it, they will blame you.

You can report it yourself by clicking on the link on the right about halfway down the page just above the description box. To warn others on the forum and have them submit reports too, it is best to post a link to the listing and the seller's name in our Hall of Shame: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/coach-hall-of-shame-post-coach-fakes-here.824098/

ETA: By the way, it doesn't matter if the seller claims it is authentic or not. It is illegal to sell fakes, period.

If the seller doesnt know it's a fake after reading the creed, he or she is a darned fool, or can't read.

Thank you! Ok, now I'm pretty convinced this bag started out black and faded to olive green. The suede looks more black than brown to me. The outside looks green next to true browns/tabac. What do you think - am I imagining this?

Too late to edit my post but I'll add that the inside of the kisslock pouch is also definitely black - that seals it for me. I think this started out as a black bag.

I like it as is! It's very unique looking. Do you plan on restoring the color?

I plan on sending it back, lol! I already have a black one plus a lifetime's worth of 'special attention' rehabs, so I'm immune to its charms [emoji39]

Hehehe. I just noticed that it's from PM. I almost bought it myself even though I already have 4 of them! I told myself only if it were red! Lol!

I know, right? I was trying to be nice, but I actually laughed out loud when I saw it: "Natural Cowhide America"!!!

Thanks for the info. I went to report it and the listing has been removed.

I've found that most people don't actually read creeds.

Hi guys, please help me out in authenticating this Coach Varsity Stripe File In Signature Color Khaki/Pink Ruby Cross Body Bag Measurements: 11.75 x 2 x 10.25. I bought this to my workmate saying she bought it in USA Outlet store.

It looks fine.

Please authenticate. Style number too, if you have it. I'm a little concerned that there is no logo on the charm, front or back.

The closest I can find is 92076 for which the stock photo shows a charm clip attached to the keyring. Whether it's the same item and whether Coach might have changed the prototype in production, I don't know.

I can't authenticate it but I don't see anything that indicates that it's fake.
