With a Regina style number?

The crooks never get the shape of the bases of the genuine Bleeker bags right either.

1) apparently
2) yup
I don't know why I take it personally when they mess with my favs!

I meant the shapes of the bases of the straps or handles. They should be slighly flattened on the bottom edge, never rounded.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. Coach never made a diamond patterned wallet lining, right?

And another question: SPORTS COACH - is it a legit company, or the makers of fake
Coach products, promoting "sports" line?

To go into a bit more detail - "Sports Coach" is one of the many Korean companies that used Coach's name to peddle their knock-offs. It was the name of an actual company. Coach filed suit against them and since the suit had to be filed in Korea, the Korean court, as they almost always do, found in favor of the Korean firm. So although the intent was obviously to deceive, the Korean courts didn't give a feck and let them get away with it. If the lawsuit had been filed in the US it's almost a dead certainty that the brand name would have been disallowed and the company found guilty by any US court of violating a valid registered trademark with intention to deceive. The Sports Coach company seems to have disappeared.

Technically the seller is guilty of Keyword Spamming.
