Item: New Coach Sunglasses HC 8162512013

Comments: I don't know much about Coach sunglasses, but I do look at a lot of them & something seems off with these. The C's don't look correct & the seller has a large amount of them, which is also a red flag, right? Thank you to anyone that responds. If counterfeit I'll put them in the 'fakes' thread. Plus I'll report all that's been sold.

ETA: I just saw they have a ton of designer glasses for sale. They have more Coach styles also. Maybe I'm wrong. I hope so.
The glasses look okay to me. (There are fake sunnies but those I've seen are pretty bad.)

The pattern is the same "strange" signature pattern as is on the lock keychain, style 63985:

Unfortunately, giving the buyer a hard time is never worth the consequences.

I would like to think that had you just accepted the return anyway even though you knew it was remorse and not a sincere SNAD claim, she probably wouldn't have negged you. Sadly, now you have a not-so-nice feedback on your account.

Please post that buyer's ID here and/or on the BBL thread so other Coach sellers can block her.


Just had to come back and update. Case closed, authentication proven, buyer being investigated, neg gone. Wasn't due for escalation until Jan 6. Thank you all for your help.
 
Item: VINTAGE COACH WILLIS Dowel-Top Satchel Purse #9185 - NICE!!!
Listing Number: 173042577134
Seller: paysn2bil
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-CO...577134?hash=item284a242eee:g:VlkAAOSwUchaDQbU
Comments: I've never seen a Willis that looks like this...but what do I know. I like the look, but is it authentic? Thank you!
It's not a Willis. I noticed a lot of sellers are calling it that. The only thing it has in common with a Willis is the dowel. It is authentic. It's a Whitney.
 
Hi! Newbie and I jumped on the vintage Coach bandwagon, would someone please authenticate my impulsive purchase of vintage Willis Bag pleaseView attachment 3924120 View attachment 3924123

It's genuine, although not actually "vintage" according to the standard definition for handbags and other accessories. "Vintage" is defined as 20 years old or older, but this bag was made in July 2003 so it still has more than 5 years to go before fitting the definition.
