The creed screams FAKE but I have been wrong before.

I'm trying to first help my co-worker get her first coach purse. Second, my m-i-l has a birthday coming up and she thinks her Kmart special blue light clearance purses are 'just as good' as Coach :tdown::amazed::amazed::nono::dots:

Well.. I will show her.....by buying her a beautiful coach purse :D

It's genuine.
 
These are great! I'm always amazed at the creativity of some counterfeiters. I can't decide if I like the one that looks like a plant or the portrait of a dog more!

There's a warm fuzzy place in my heart for the purse-eating plant, as it slowly engulfs a tacky, cheaply made fake pink Coach that's piteously whimpering "Saaaaave meeeee..."

Picture the poor plant a day or two later, gasping its last breath on the jungle floor while it vainly tries to cough out the toxin-loaded Foach. And as it spews out a cloud of noxious green fumes with one final belch, the plant gives up the ghost and the slime-covered but still-breathing Foach slowly slithers into the underbrush, looking for its next victim.... :D
 
Item Name (if you know it): EMB TXT LTH ACC ZIP (says on tag)

I also have question about the fray end of the thread, am worried it will unravel after sometime? Should I return it?

Thank you in advance for any advice!
 
Only in vintage Sheridans and post-2000 bags made in China and other non-US locations, AFAIK. There may be a few others but in classic and vintage Coaches, words weren't usually broken up and hyphenated.
Good Morning everyone FYI, here is one of those "usually" exception - this Sonoma 4907 creed also has those funky broken lines. Actually whole Creed looked bad to me. (Listing #: 351352858108, was OKed last night). Glad I asked the Forum about it, would've passed it by, especially because the creed wasn't shown in the listing, I had to ask the buyer for this pic.

The Italian plant has them beat with TWO hyphens, not to mention the occasional "N" month code. And the Salearea Guides warn everyone about Sonoma creeds. The only exception missing from the one below is the flipped month and year codes, not to mention a stitching mistake. If you haven't already read the Salearea Guides, you need to do it ASAP.

Just to repeat Coach Rule Number One - "The most consisitent thing about Coach is their inconsisitency".

Approx. 6"w x 4"h x .5"d. Strap 5.5" to rings...strap split, missing dogleash.
Thanks in advance!
