I believe this is fake but would like confirmation please. Thanks!
Seller: shopgoodwill.com
Listing # 49273626

You're right. You would never see that framed pocket zipper in a Patricia. The prefix is also invalid.

That listing is from Chattanooga Goodwill Industries on Goodwill's own site.

For the record, chattanoogagoodwill's ebay store also lists fakes pretty frequently. I just reported a fake Coach scarf a couple of days ago and this post was made in January:

Thanks whateve! Off to report.

Thanks whateve! Off to report.

How do you report there? Do they end their listings?

BTW, did you notice that the description states, "THIS IS A BUY NOW ONLY ITEM. IT WILL NOT BE MOVED TO AUCTION. WE DO CONSIDER REASONABLE OFFERS VIA SGW MESSAGE. THANK YOU!"

Yet it's an auction listing!

To report, from within the listing I click "Contact Seller" and in the subject line I put "Counterfeit [Coach] bag." In the message I give my reasons. Sometimes they end the listing, sometimes not.

The "Buy Now Only" notice is weird. Maybe they are trying to be like eBay where you can have an auction with BIN option, and their software isn't set up that way. Or something to do with it having a "Reserve" price?

Thank you. Apparently you have to have an account. I wasn't able to report or contact. It asked for login info.

Hi ladies,
Need your superior knowledge. I read the exchange on P-------. Thanks for going to bat for we rubes.
Is the following a Coach style at all? The COACH insignia on creed is not shown, unfortunately.
.
Seller : walshdeb9858 (315)
eBay item number:152445980147
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-vintage-beige-leather-handbag-RARE/152445980147?_trksid=p2047675.c100009.m1982&_trkparms=aid=888007&algo=DISC.MBE&ao=1&asc=41394&meid=aa4adb3f790d41059dc4075cd59d5c49&pid=100009&rk=1&rkt=2&sd=252787399355

Thanks for any info.

Regarding the listing you asked about from seller walshdeb9858, it seems okay.

ETA: Although that listing seems authentic, walshdeb9858 has other listings for fakes.

wallet/wristlet, a common fake style that Coach never made in tattersall plaid.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-tarta...927678?hash=item237f6122be:g:8hQAAOSwSlBYvA2T
and this one with a common invalid serial number.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-vinta...967642?hash=item237e7cdd1a:g:zVQAAOSw32lYrYaW

I apologize for bumping an old post but not only has the seller changed her ID (apparently after being posted in March 2017), but she has this listing that I'm looking for a second or third opinion on.

previous ID was walshdeb9858
Current ID: debsluvboutique

Was Coach still making any bags in the US in 2003? And from what I know, that bag is supposed to have signature lining.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-vint...038705?hash=item239931e2b1:g:gNgAAOSwYDZad0Bd

And I'm wondering about the green bag in this listing:

The latest C plant creed I have in my files is from 2000. It doesn't look correct for a C plant creed anyway. I agree, it is fake. The green bag is fake too.

The creed picture isn't clear. I don't see any problems. When you get it, you can post a clearer picture of the creed for confirmation.

Will do! Thank you That was lightening fast. The fuzzy creed pic is what made me nervous. Fingers crossed.

I can't see the listing with the fake US creed any more, but I still have "lit'rally" a tiny handful of pics of US-creed bags, none of them are newer than 2003 though. The D plant hung around until 2002 and the B plant apparently (maybe!) until mid-2003. But the C plant code disappears after 2000. At least that's what I'm seeing from my photo files.

Well, @Hyacinth ! This is just your lucky day!

I was able to pull up a cache of debsluvboutique's listing for the fake.



For your viewing pleasure!
Here's the cache and in case it disappears, I'll attach pictures too.

ETA: I was also able to find a cache of the other listing that included both a fake and a genuine bag.
