Thanks for the help. I’ll return the bag.

I think that's a good idea.

 

[Ebkbay]

It's fine.

Thank you, BeenBurned.

I have took the best picture I can. I can’t see a small tag in there though. Just the creed patch.
thank you for helping me. Sorry I’ve never done this before so I’m sorry for the repeat post. I got it from eBay with a small window to return it and I don’t want to keep it if it’s a fake. I wanted a small bag as my LV Montaigne MM is a little big for days out.
I hope this is a good enough photo (it took about 15 attempts )
This is the link for the bag.

thank you again for helping me.

I'd missed this post last night with your pictures of the creed and the link to the listing from sophie.le (509).

After seeing the listing, I'm even more uncomfortable with the seller. The bag you received isn't the bag shown in the listing but the listing shows a fake, IMO. It's very likely that you received a different fake and that she has multiples in different colors is scary!

I can't read the serial number from the creed shown in the listing but the seller describes it as 27583 although your picture shows 58295.

Although both styles are similar, they are two different styles.

The creeds of other styles should have stitching down both sides of the creed patch that extends over both top and bottom of the patch. As seen in the comps below, the seller's creed (although illegible) is improperly sewn and doesn't extend far enough:

Except for where the money goes, sadly, even the fakes make great camera bags. However, since I'll eventually sell them off, it is in my best interest to have the real deal.

Are you saying that you'll eventually sell off even the fakes? I really hope not.

I don't know what country you live in, but if it's the US, be advised that selling counterfeit items of any kind is a violation of US Federal law and is classified as a felony. It doesn't matter if you disclose that the item is fake, the very act of selling an illegal item that violates the trademark and copyright laws of not just the US but also most of the major countries on this planet is a crime.

Thank you!

I had contacted the seller and she said she buys in bulk with guaranteed authenticity however she can’t prove it. She is giving me a full refund thank goodness.

Thanks for your help and taking the time to reply.
have a lovely evening.

Please tell us where you got this bag if it is in your possession. If you purchased it online, we need the name of the seller and a link to the online listing. It's an authentic riding bag spectator #6750 from around 1989-1990.

There has been no purchase, only a viewing on line of www.coachfactory.us.com. I'm curious if anyone knows this is a bogus site or not.

Thanks in advance!

All three are authentic. None are Bonnie Cashin. The first is a Plaza bag large from the late 80s. Second is a companion bag from the 80s. The last is a spectator bag. There are no pictures of under the flap so I don't know which version. It was made in the late 80s.

That isn't an authorized site. Authorized sites are Coach.com, coachoutlet.com, many department store websites, Zappos, and a few others. The only authorized sites with Coach in the name are the first two I mentioned.

That site is loaded with HORRIBLY BAD FAKES. Some of the graphics of genuine items or adverts are stolen from Coach which is a violation of US and international copyright and tradmark laws - if you bought ANYTHING from them have it authenticated here ASAP and hope that you can get your money back. And I strongly suggest that you don't take chances clicking on questionable websites unless you have a strong security package on your computer, phone or whatever you use.

Another indication of a fakes-selling site are the links on the pages. Scroll to the bottom and the links that actually pertain to a genuine Coach website, such as "STORE LOCATOR" or "COACH FOUNDATION" are all non-functioning, as is the McAfee link higher up on the page. When critical links to legitimate websites or pages aren't working, the entire website is probably fake as is their merchandise. The only FUNCTIONING links are the ones that lead to the fakes-selling site.

The prices are also ridiculously low, which is another BIG red flag.

Not only do they sell fakes, they can't even write a description that matches their fakes! I'm looking at a fake C pattern fabric carryall style that's desctibed as "Coach nomad hobo in glovetanned leather - Soft and slouchy in supple glove-tanned leather, this simple, graceful silhouette is dressed up with striking hardware, including a polished metal hangtag. Zip and open pockets organize its luxuriously leather-lined interior; the adjustable strap detaches for multiple wearing options." and NONE OF THAT FITS THE FAKE IN THE PHOTO.

There are some real P'sOS on that site, what we would call Canal Street Specials.

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM " www.coachfactory.us.com."
