I think I've seen a Brighton fob that looks like this. Did they just add a Coach ring and hangtag?

WOOH!
I know what this fob is from!
THe little black purse if from a Nine West key ring. It used to have a tiny
Nine West silver hang tag with it, similar to the little Coach tag.
I know this because I had the same one for years, I kept it cuz it was really cute.
I stash all kinds of odds and ends and add them in as gifts if they seem appropriate when
I sell something.
Unfortunately I gave mine away when I sold someone a Nine West bag over a year ago.
But I am SURE that is the same "charm".
Can't say for sure about the key ring itself.
Looks like the seller created this little piece in my humble opinion!

The travel keychain from sassyjazzycoach4u is fake. Before Coach made the recent travel keychain with the Eiffel Tower, this was a common fake that at the time, was unlike any Coach fob. Coach had never made an Eiffel Tower and Arc' de Triomph fob.

The other one from lucindaw2112 does appear to have a genuine hangtag. But the purse isn't Coach, as pointed out by thecollector629. I'd say it's reportable as it's not made by Coach.


ETA: I wanted to add that I'm very uncomfortable with sassyjazzycoach4u. In looking back at my notes, I found that the seller had several fake Coach bags in the past. At the time, her listings had pictures showing a combination of different bags, some authentic pictures from authentic lisitngs from other ebay sellers and other pictures of obvious fakes from ioffer.

Her travel mix keychain is common on iOffer.

And she also has this fake keychain:

Here's another of a very similar fake travel keychain from a Malaysian site. (I've broken the link.)

Please authenticate. They did not show the ends of the drawstring or the keeper so I figure if it is real, but has drawstring end issues, I can return it. Or keep and use for a shoe tote!

I'm not completely sure about that one, there are small differences in the serial number font compared to the photos in my file. Wait for more opinions.

Do not buy from gabsale1. The keychain is fake as is this non-Coach bag she has listed:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-E2J-6...274?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a500472ea

And in fact, I reported a fake Coach from GABSALE1 back in October 2014.

ETA: I just found this listing for which I'm interested in hearing other comments. Please don't report yet!!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-BROWN...978?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27fe74f7a2

What do others think of this creed? I've never seen anything like it yet there are no other red flags with the bag itself.

And another ETA. This seller also sold this fake:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-BROWN...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Possibly a sample bag, and un-authenticateable, if there is such a word. Without knowing the exact style number, the bag seems ok but only for a buyer who's going to use it herself and is willing to take the risk.

I don't feel comfortable with it. The pictures aren't good enough to see for sure if there are any other problems with the bag, but I think I see some potential discrepancies. There is something that looks like part of a frame next to the number and the font is off.

Even if it were a sample, doesn't it seem odd to have an A in the year code?
