Item: Coach Butterfly Keychain
Seller: shopgoodwill.com

I'm guessing that this is genuine because it comes with a coach box, but it looks a little odd to me so I am interested in your opinions. I am not planning to bid but I am just curious. Thanks!

It's fake and if you look at the label on the box, it has the notorious "JKRSL PAVEFOB" description.

Boxes are faked too and anytime you see that description of the item, it's fake. (There are some genuine Jack Russell dog keychains but they don't come with that type of labeling on the tag or box. And there are also fake JRT fobs.)

Also be leery whenever you see that much reflection. Fakes generally reflect more because the enameling isn't flat like it is supposed to be. The hangtag is a dead giveaway too.

The hangtag is what first caught my eye but the box confused me. I will notify the site that the product and box are fake. Thanks!

Cheap chain with thin links. And like whateve said, the hangtag with its hills and valleys is wrong.The top surface shouldn't have the letters raised above the enamel surface, you should be able to run the edge of your fingernail across the top surface without it catching or getting any nicks from a raised bit of metal. The best real ones should look like this,

Most fake hangtags but definitely not all are white enamel with a font that doesn't look like Coach's special lettering. The shapes of the Cs on the charms are usually way off too.

Coach has had some poorer quality key chain hangtags, but the actual fakes are usually easy to spot when you compare them to the real ones. But like with everything Coach, there are exceptions, and newer fakes are better than they were 10 years ago. Keep in mind that fake keychains especially the metal ones are often loaded with lead and other toxic substances and can be very dangerous to kids or pets.

Here's a fake hangtag and charms, they were often sold for about 2 dollars each if you bought 10 or more. The newer solid metal non-enameled ones can be trickier.

I've read so many posts here, and studied the Salearea Guide. But since I'm a newb, I'd like to know for sure if this is authentic.

Item name: Coach City 9790

Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-bag-style-9790-5c925950de6f62fdb889ecab

Comments: Creed style number reads E2P-9790. I'm guessing post-1994 City bag in Costa Rica plant, May... 2002?

Thank you so much in advance! I have sooo enjoyed reading the posts in this forum, and learning from you all how to appreciate and identify items!
