YUCK!!!

Completely fake style, fake slide-lock and mounting, fake Coach stamp on the front that Coach never used on their vintage bags, COMPLETELY fake "organizer panel" under the flap also never used in any genuine Coach.

Please report.

Hi, this is not a Coach. I bought it for 11.00. It's never been used and is in fantastic condition. It's a Francesco Biasia. Didn't find any authentification thread on the pf so I just took a gamble. Has anyone ever heard of this brand before? I found another one on eBay, and realized it's missing a long shoulder strap. Thanks.


Duh, helps to put the link http://www.ebay.ca/itm/321694235833


And the other bag is $200!

Is this fake. I like this style but have pretty well given up finding a genuine one. The pictures don't zoom for me, so it's hard to look at the detail.

I'm not an authenticator, but are the first 3 symbols in the creed the letters PIT? If it's P1T, then forget I said anything and wait for a real authenticator.

They Zoom for me, and the serial definitely starts with PIT- , and the font of the other digits is wrong too. There's also a small problem with the stitching on the top zipper pull and with the placement of the strap handles. And the T plant code was never used for any US plant.

Francesco Biasia isn't faked.

Thanks, Hyacinth. Genuine bags this style are very rare it seems! I'll report.

I can't recommend 2formeoneforyou. Although the PIT listing has been removed, the seller also has this fake:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-Authe...805?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c507f79bd

And its creed:
$_57.JPG



And she sold this one.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Coa...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

The creed from above:
$_57.JPG



And another sold fake:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-VINTA...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

$_57.JPG


There are probably more fakes!

DO NOT BUY FROM 2formeoneforyou

Just of of curiosity, can a seller get away with listing this as a Coach bag, with specific style and everything then in description claim seller can not guarantee authenticity?

No, it's against ebay policy (and the law).

It's a seller's responsibility to know that items are authentic before listing them. They can't admit it's fake nor can they have an authenticity disclaimer.
