Authenticators, I wanted to alert you of a bag I found on Ebay that looks suspicious ( to me). When I asked the Seller to post the Creed legibly, he sends me a picture only to me via email, instead of uploading it. If its fake, what are the steps to take to report it ?

There is nothing suspicious about that bag. The strap wasn't made by Coach but the seller mentions that.

Oh, OK! I thought authentic meant all the original parts. Didnt know that straps could be different and the bag still considered authentic. Getting an education here! Thank you

If the seller didn't disclose that the strap was a replacement and you bought the bag, you would have a good case for misrepresentation. We don't authenticate based on any parts that are removable.

Hi Hyacinth,
Thank you for your quick response. I checked and I knew about the J8H thanks to the links you posted to me before , but this bag is J6H, not J8H and I didnt find it as a fake prefix, but I know the links are not exhaustive. Is this still a fake for the other reasons you said? I have attached a picture of the turn lock backs.

My mistake, sorry. I'm so used to seeing J8H- that my brain just supplied the 8 where the 6 is. But the font is still wrong, as the others have pointed out. And I have the first J6H- fake serial photo for my collection. :smile:
