AUTHENTICATE This COACH

Please post authenticity questions related to COACH in this thread.

Note: The PurseForum requests that only members with an extensive knowledge of the brand and authenticating who have over 500 posts participate as authenticators in this AT thread. The moderators reserve the right to remove authentications that do not meet these requirements.


Please follow the following rules:


  • Before you submit a request for authentication, please search this thread to make sure that the item has not previously been authenticated. This is not a thread to ask general questions about COACH, please refer to our main Coach forum for such information.
  • This is a free service, but it is imperative that you help our authenticators by using the following format:

    Item:
    Listing number:
    Seller:
    Link:
    Comments:


  • If the bag in question is not on an auction site, please use the following:

    Item Name (if you know it):
    Link (if available):
    Then attach any photos (all authentication must include photos.)
    • Please be sure to include a clear readable photo of the creed stamp and serial number from inside the bag or accessory if there is one, and the bag's measurements when the bag is an older or vintage leather Coach.
    • Since mid-2014, Coach stopped putting serial numbers on creeds so in newer bags where the creeds don't have serial numbers, we also need to see pictures of the labels/tags from inside the bag. They are either both in the main open part sewn into the seam of the lining, or one might be buried deep inside the zipper pocket. One shows where made and the other has a serial number.
  • Authenticators are not required to answer every request and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format.
  • Please note that comments on price and condition are NOT permitted.
  • Do NOT PM an authenticator or moderator to request authentication. Any and all such requests should be posted in this thread.
  • Should one of your items be questioned in this thread, you are welcome to provide additional pictures or materials supporting its authenticity.
  • Do not handle your disputes with other members in this thread but take your differences to Private Messages. Failure to do so can result in banning.
  • Please utilize the "Quote" feature when responding directly to another post.

Hello I was wondering if this Coach wallet is authentic? Can someone take a look for me? I bought it on eBay. Seller eadsjolenak and item # 113428526004. The minute I opened the box I knew it was not authentic. But before I let seller know I want to make sure. I thank you in advance for your help. Thanks RomeyBeano

Obviously fake. That box was never used by Coach. I can't find that listing. Was it removed?

I'm sure this is fake but I'd like confirmation before I report. I thought this seller was knowledgeable.

The flap is the wrong shape and comes down too far. There is a fold above the zipper on the left side on the back. It should be inset without any folds, cuts or seams.

Compare it to this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/EXCELLENT-...681280?hash=item260e89fc40:g:HRYAAOSwPAtbcJ1-

ETA: I went ahead and reported. I convinced myself!

I don't think littlemissmuffet808 knowingly sells fakes nor does she make too many errors but I believe there have been a few/couple over the years.

I don't think it's authentic either.

In addition to the differences you've noted is one that I've only seen on fakes. The Coach logo is larger than it should be. Compare the following.

Also, have you ever seen that checkbook slot on the left (see arrow):

It must be almost 10 years since I've seen one of those fake "rainbow" boxes.
It's under Completeds, unless it was just removed.

Seller eadsjolenak
Open a "not as described" dispute and choose "not authentic" as the reason. The seller's no return policy doesn't fly when she sold a counterfeit item.

I totally overlooked that slot! Thanks! I've seen larger logos on fakes but without the comparison, it is hard to tell. After I found the comparison listing, it was easy to see. Since it is the seller's own listing and she listed one right after the other, she should have seen the differences and realized something was off.
