We need the URL where the item was listed and the seller information if it's a recent purchase from the last 2 or 3 months.

It's a genuine Rambler's Legacy, made in 2002.

Grateful for all the info!

Thank you, BeenBurned and Hyacinth! Appreciate the extra info about the zippers as well.

Can someone please authenticate these two when you get a chance? Please let me know if the photos are providing sufficient info. I know now not to bother with the zipper shots.

#1 is in theory a Coach Mini Ergo Hobo, purchased at a thrift store, dimensions are 9.5" width, 5.5" height, 2.25" base. Serial is No E8I-9027.




#2 is in theory a Coach Signature SoHo Hobo, purchased at a Salvation Army, dimensions are 10.75" width, 10.75" height, 6.5" base. Serial is No C04J-6351.






Thank you!

Ok, so this purse isn’t for sale. I found it at a thrift shop, and am putting this post up because I said that I would. Looks like it’s a well made replica. What does one do in a case like this? Is there someone I need to call? Someone on here seemed really upset about this.

The purse is fake. If you can return it and get your money back, I would do so. If you can't, it is fine to keep for your own personal use but don't sell, give or donate it without removing or obliterating the creed (stamped logo information).

Thank you so much, Hyacinth!

Thank you so much for your kind and informative reply. I will follow your advice completely; will keep it for now and destroy the fake creed. It was bought at a charity related shop, so it wouldn’t be helping them to return. I don’t want to break the law, so whatever I should do, I will.

I'm glad that at least it seems to be well-made so you can get some use out of it. Many fakes are more cheaply made and start coming apart after a few months. You can never assume that something labeled "Coach" is genuine because the quality seems like the genuine item. There are other details with this bag that prove it's counterfeit. Unfortunately there are a LOT of fake "Coaches" on the market and whenever possible all highly-faked brands like Coach should be authenticated before you buy, or bought from a place that accepts returns and offers a full refund.

It's genuine.

Thank you BeenBurned!
