Get your money back. It's COUNTERFEIT.

We have been trying to warn everyone about a large group of counterfeits distributors and sellers located in Japan for many months now. Here is just one of the posts our most experienced Coach authenticator BeenBurned made, please read it for more details:
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/japanese-coach-ring-warning.1012568/

Several items that were included with your purchase are NOT used by Coach, only by counterfeiters. There are also other problems that BeenBurned can explain. Demand a full refund from the seller and DO NOT buy any small accessories like wallets, cosmetic cases, waist pacs or anything else with Pac Man, NASA, Mickey mouse and other Disney characters, Peanuts, or any other characters liscensed by their owners to Coach unless you buy them directly from an actual Coach store.

And do NOT buy anything else from that website, I believe they are selling other fakes.

I am very happy that you did not buy it yet. The seller is not telling the truth. As BeenBurned said in the post in the link, the same buyer's name, "James F Valas", appears on the receipts for many of these fakes from many different sellers. Most of them have been sold in Japan but now it looks like the fakes are also spreading through other countries in southeast Asia. And many of them do not even have the correct patch and serial number.

If any friends or family also buy Coach products, you might want to warn them about this problem.

Thank you very much for authenticating, by chance did this color tangerine come in a duffle sac too?

The only non-standard color in the late 1997 and early 1998 catalogs for the Duffle Sac is yellow. But other colors may have been available for resort and Outlet items. The smaller Maggie Duffle 9019 did come in a large range of colors in the Spring Preview 1998 catalog, including Tangerine. Click on the thumbnail.

Always be really careful with unusual colors, many of them turn out to be fakes. ALWAYS have them authenticated here before buying.

Hope someone can tell me something about this wristlet/wallet. I have no other information, no codes of any kind. Feels like leather and looks to be a bronze color. Any info is always appreciated. Thanks.

There are several patterns I've been noticing among the fakes.
  • There's a wide range of dates on gift receipts shown
  • I don't know whether the gift receipts are genuine or not.
  • Many of the gift receipts show Chandler, AZ as the location of the "outlet" from which the fakes have been purchased
  • Sellers are (probably) purposely blurring the pictures enough and making them so you can't zoom in on the details as a way to disguise that they're fake, doctored and/or don't match the item they're included with
  • Pictures are shared among different IDs
  • Some pictures are taken at outlet store locations, implying that those are the items you'll receive, thus authentic
  • Some avoid showing props in listings, another way to avoid letting peole know that they have fake props
  • Some items in sellers' other listings may be authentic, misleading buyers into assuming that they're honest sellers
