Totally agree and understand the bag will continue to be circulated if sold as fake or authentic. But I'm curious. How does one get rid of fake Coach bags (or any fake)? If donated, that keeps the bag in circulation and the bag may eventually come here for authentication. Trash/landfill?

I bought a fake at a thrift store. Because it was inexpensive, I keep it stored with my Coach bags to remind me what happens when I buy impulsively.

I have two fakes on my shelf. I bought them on ebay. By the time I realized they were fake, it was too late. I can't bring myself to do anything with them. If I need a turnlock, one of them has a good one.

The green one is fake. I can't read the creed on the other one but it doesn't matter.

I missed the listing above before it was removed but just want to comment.

My records show that on March 6, several fakes were listed by dorce-jeanb and they were reported and removed.

Note that these two sellers are the same person and the second ID may relist the fakes:
ID 1: dorce-jeanb
ID 2: paufor_iws9tf

And in fact, paufor_iws9tf has this fake:

Will cross post on the Hall of shame too.

Comments: Creed tag is stamped 20115 but style number is 38219

(I have since learned that the two don't necessarily always match, but that's what originally threw me off)

Thank you in advance :smile:

There should be a white label hidden inside the zipper pocket. We need to see a picture of that tag with 2 rows of numbers on it.

Im wondering about these two Willis bags.
Item: Vintage Black Leather Coach Crossbody/Station Bag
Listing number: 65240646
Seller: shopgoodwill.com
Link:
https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/65240646

Item: Willis bag
Listing number: n/a
Link: pics below
Comments: I was going to rehab this bag but Im wondering about the "L" for the plant code. I found one post that made reference to it being a valid US plant, but that was about all I could find. The A6L seems to be space differently compared to the 9927, is it genuine?

I've actually looked at some of the Coach items under the 1st ID. Scary when you consider both ID;s have high feedback scores & high satisfaction percentages - perhaps typically indicating a trustworthy seller. Thanks for sharing.
