Now we have to add Beaver Falls, PA to the "do not purchase" from list of sellers selling "sample" Coach bags with missing serial number, oddball creeds, inaccurate text on creeds and BS stories about where the bags came from.
I believe these bags are scary close fakes.
So far, the seller's I recall are
colleenk415
cierraluv2shop
randiesstuff
And possibly
gagany
With the exception of cierraluv2shop, all are from Brooklyn, all sell items that are NWOT with serial numbers, creeds and details that are off and all have been discussed here.

Compare the creeds from the green bag listed by
colleenk415 to that I posted from
cierraluv2shop's listing. The stitching in the corners is identical. These listings are the same bag!!
sted by thecollector629 Hyacinth, and BB, you might want to reference back to my posting #2954 where I was requesting the authenticity of two bags being offered by
colleenk415
There was a yellow and a green bag, and the same issue came up with the creeds and the statement about the genuine croc bag being made from "glove-tanned leather".
I am pretty sure the seller of the auction in question cierraluv2shop, bought those two bags from the other seller - it's a strange coincidence donchathink?
There are photos of the bags there from the original listing,
and THAT seller's responses to my queries.
Sherlockina Holmes reporting!:salute:
Just wanted to give an update on this....the seller refunded me back my money (+ shipping both ways) for this purse, and I mentioned to her in an email that if she was going to re-list the purse, she should indicate that the purse was purchased at a sample sale (it that's indeed what happened according to the bag's previous owner colleenk415), and I see that she did re-list it AND add that note so I give her some credit for clarifying the listing this time around.
Okay, I'll say what I said previously. I
don't believe the bags are authentic, they can't be proven as authentic and I don't recommend a buyer purchase them.
While
cierraluv2shop states in the listing (for the yellow one) that the bag was "
purchased at a sample sell so the serial number is not imprinted on the Coach creed," I cannot recommend her as a seller.
We've proven that she's not the original owner of the bags so clearly SHE didn't purchase directly from Coach. The fact is that SHE doesn't know with 100% certainty that the bags are authentic and hasn't done what should be done for items not purchased directly - have it authenticated.
While I do believe that cierraluv2shop might think the bag is genuine, in a case like this, a professional authentication would be in order and even then, I'm not sure there would be a conclusive authentication.
JMHO.
