I'm pretty sure this purse is authentic, however I would like to know the name or style for it, thanks in advance. I didn't purchase it, but I would have liked to.

There are several things that bother me about baghabitspj's listings/IG account.
  • Quantities: Although Coach outlets tend to be more lenient in adhering to limits with international shoppers, even with multiple "buyers" hitting US outlets, baghabitspj quantities are excessive
  • Not a single listing/item shows pictures of HER ACTUAL items. Taking pictures in outlets tells us NOTHING about the item a buyer will receive
  • I've seen too many close fakes with close tags/receipts/props coming from sellers in Asian countries to feel comfortable about this seller and her items
The following two specifics with relation to the bag you received and of which you've posted pictures make me believe you received a fake. (It does seem to be very SCARILY close and that, IMO is dangerous.)
  • The bag style is a boutique (full price) style, not MFF (made for the outlets). Although full price bags do make their way to outlets, I don't believe the made in tag would have an outlet mark.
  • The tag, although very close has a different bar code. (The number is "correct" on your bag, but the striped UPC bars are different from the comparison tag shown below.)

If any Coachies have a full-priced delete from the outlet, please chime in as to whether your bag has a dot on the made in tag.

ETA: If it's not clear, my opinion is that the bag is NOT authentic.

Thank you BeenBurned for helping me out. This has never occurred to me before so I don't really know how to react.

It's authentic. I don't have this one in my files. The closest is 9605 buckled clutch high, which is 13x 9 1/2 x 2 inches. I assume this has a similar name, without "high." 15 inches seems awfully long for a clutch.

Thank you Hyacinth!!

Here is another one. I ended up purchasing it but I would like to be sure it’s authentic. Would you mind taking a look?

Item: Regina
Seller and site: herroyalshyness on Poshmark
Link: https://posh.mk/p1WP3rTCA7
It looks okay.
It looks genuine. I hope that strap can be fixed.
Although that bag is okay, herroyalshyness sold several fakes: (I didn't go through all the sold items. There may have been more.)

Caveat emptor!

Ok...my 4th and final for the morning. ;)
item: station
Seller: I purchased this from shop goodwill online and I can’t find the sale anywhere in my account. I don’t remember month/year of purchase.
Comments: approximate measurements are: 8.5”x9”x2” Also, the hardware on the handle must be plated because it’s wearing off and it’s silver-toned underneath.
thank you so much x’s 4!!:hbeat:
