Has anyone else seen a Creed like this?View attachment 3698761

Yes, in other KOREAN-MADE FAKES just like this one.

Please read post number One in this thread and supply the required information for authentication requests. We need to report the fake to Ebay for removal.

And I strongly recommend that you read and save the links to both the Daria48 Fake Coach Serial Numbers Lists and for the six Salearea Coach Guides posted at Ebay. Anyone buying or selling Coach should be using those links and the information in them as often as possible. Either set of Guides can supply the answer to your question.

and

If you're the buyer, you got ripped off. File a dispute immediately.Did you read the creed stamp??? "THIS IS THE BEST BAG... " And a fake serial number and Made In Korea on the creed.


If you're the seller I strongly suggest you have your Coach items authenticated here BEFORE listing. And I'd ask the same question - did you read the creed before you listed it?

If you're not involved in the sale at all you STILL need to post the information we need in the future to look over the entire listing and report if necessary. Luckily I was able to Google it.

Yes, it's a Korean fake. You should post a link to the listing and the seller's name so it can be reported.

Here it is, in sold listings:

Seller: blondie9398

Hi,
New user to the forum (although I have been a lurker since 2015). I've been getting more into fashion and collecting Designer bags and I have grown to love the Coach 1941 line. I have always saved up money to buy new bags, and have never bought designer good from Ebay. I recently came across a Coach Glove-tanned "Tea Rose" Dinky on Ebay and would like someone to help authenticate. The Ebay seller is selling it at less than 50% of Retail.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-1941-...56fb98b&pid=100005&rk=3&rkt=6&sd=322514793407

Here's another offer for a Rogue Tea Rose Applique that's going for $700 -

So I'm a little suspicious... the creed in the following listing is the exact same (serial number included) as another listing:

This bag is using the creed from this listing. It seems very fishy and I'm not sure what report category it would be listed under... Any suggestions?
Only the actual owner of the photo can report it, so all you can do is notify them. And of course, don't purchase the bag from the other seller without seeing a photo of the creed for that bag.

Neither of these listings have the pictures required for authentication. Read the first post of this thread to see what we need. For the first, perhaps the seller is hoping the price will go higher than it is right now. You can't assume something is fake just because the price is too good to be true.
 
Is this bag authentic? Please help!
My friend gave me this for my birthday and I'm trying to find out if it is authentic! Serial number is F0949-F13732. The zipper is stamped YKK and the back of the buckles say coach.

Hi all, looking for help authenticating this little guy! Purchased at a thrift store:
Not sure of the name
Dark brown
8 inches wide
5 inches tall
4 inches bottom
24 inch strap length

I think it is probably okay. More opinions are welcome.

It looks OK to me too although I don't know the name. But it was probably made between around 2001 and 2005. It might be from the Legacy West line.
