Zippers are YKK, but the o in “No” seems too big, and the wording “and attention to detail reflect” seems to be too crammed together in the creed. Also, stitching isn’t perfect. Bag measures 15” long x 9” tall x 4” wide at the bottom. Thank you!

Thank you so much! I can't get eBay to remove the listings I report. They let a seller scam $425 out of a poor buyer of fake Rogue 25. [emoji852]️
I'm going to report this anyway. See if it gets removed.

Playing devil's advocate. How come you never contact the seller directly before reporting the item? Some Coach fakes look so close to real, they probably are not aware.

I used to but it backfires and the sellers get super defensive. Then they send you personal insults in messages when the listing gets removed because now they think it was definitely the person who contacted them telling them it was fake.

Hello, pls help me to authentice this bag


Item : coach belt bag
Listing number : f39939
Seller: instagram - hermosa.maquillaje
Link : https://instagram.com/hermosa.maquillaje?utm_source=ig_profile_share&igshid=1k96mrz8c15bv

Comment: i never buy this bag before, so i dont know the different and the seller said she purchased from outlet so the leather isnt the same as a boutique item. Please tell me about it

It's fake. Demand to return for a full refund.

I don't recommend
hermosa.maquillaje

Without going into too much detail, I'll say the following:
1. The fanny pack is a MFF item (made for the factory outlet) yet the creed shows a boutique serial number (without F in front of it).
2. The tag shows the name of the item as being an accordion zip around wallet, which it certainly isn't.

Look up at post 35177 where I posted your fake tag as compared to a genuine tag for the same fanny pack as well as another comparison, both with the same phony names of the item.

To add to the previous reply - some sellers have been known to report those kinds of contacts as Harrassment or Auction Interference. And if someone points out detail by detail exactly what's wrong with the fake, some crooked sellers just remove the photos showing the problem areas from their listings.

And some sellers, when contacted, simply go ballistic and reply to that well-meaning person trying to warn them with insults, obscenties, and even bidding on their items and filing false negative feedback. "Get a life", "What makes YOU such a ******* Coach expert?" "Oh yeah? Well my mom gave this to me, are you calling her a crook?" and a lot more, some of which are too filthy to post. We've seen and sometimes experienced all of the above and it ain't pretty.

Unless it's someone you actually know or already have a good relationship with, the safest thing is to let Ebay give them the bad news. Some sellers will STILL relist the fake but if they do and it gets reported again they could be on the road to listing restrictions or actual suspension of their selling priviledges,

You're correct. Even though the serial number and full creed aren't shown, I'm sure that the creed is a "made in Korea" one!

I can see "Made in Korea" in one of the creed photos. After seeing that same phrase hundreds of times it gets easier to spot, no other country that would ever be mentioned on one of those "Made in" lines starts with the letter K. :graucho:

That unique zipper pull and the turnlock with the Coach stamp on the back on any classic or vintage leather bag also indicate a Korean fake.
