Item: Coach lunchbox bag #9991
Site: Etsy
Seller: Madefabulous
Link: https://www.etsy.com/transaction/21...lJVoaFRy31&eaid=12399103037&x_eaid=28a30b4040
Comments: Good evening all,
I'd really appreciate if you can help me authenticate this. Another hastily purchased bag, because of the sale and the word " Authentic", I didn't do due diligence and fear its a fake. Why they would call it Authentic, idk . But, because it's my first ever purchase on Etsy, idk if they take refunds for counterfit items. Thank you again

You can't link to your transaction. Only you can see it. You need to link to the listing. Is this the listing? https://www.etsy.com/listing/890852...how_sold_out_detail=1&ref=nla_listing_details

If so, it is fake. Counterfeits are illegal to sell. You should be able to dispute it with etsy. Did you pay with paypal? If you don't get satisfaction with etsy, you can dispute with paypal or your credit card company, but start with etsy.

The seller removed this hmm..


Or maybe Ebay removed it? Did you already buy it? Most of the time when a listing vanishes completely it's because Ebay removed all the seller's listings for that item. If the seller removed it there would probably still be a record of it under Completed.

Just to correct, the seller's ID is mommyStreasurebox2

Hi. Can someone authenticate this for me? I bought it on a discounted price since the seller said this is a mall pull out hence the stitches are not perfect. The hardware tho are a little bit rusty. Should this happen on a authentic coach bag? Thanks in advance.

I don't see it in recent completed listings. That must mean ebay removed, could it be due to a violation? I didn't think I should have screen captured it but now I am going to lol.

She has another one up!!! its crazy because I just looked at this bag then, saw this message and it happened to be the same seller! Should I report this? There are several watchers and that's a lot of money to spend for it to end up being counterfeit

The bag that I was interested in was a Drawstring Bucket Backpack in BT. Did you see that too?

Yes, you can use "serial number prefix J8H is always fake, the plant code H has the wrong font and isn't correct for the month and year shown"

Please post the exact link and the seller's name and location. Read the READ ME post at the top of every page for the information we require to authenticate an item. Did you get any information about the seller's return policy? You're going to need that information. And how did you pay for the bag? Paypal, credit card, or bank transfer?

I'm sorry, but it's fake.

The creed is the first place anyone should look. Not only is the serial number invalid because of missing or incorrect production codes, but the word "authenticity" is spelled "AUTHENCITY" on the patch, and "will always" is written as one word when it should be two.

Something else to keep in mind - there are too many "COACH" stamps on that bag. Bad stitching is not the only problem.

Try contacting the seller and insisting on a refund. Unfortunately if they refuse, you have no way to legally force them to give you one since you paid cash. That's not the safest way to buy highly-faked designer name brands.

Warning to all readers:

SELLER " AUTHENTIC FOR LESS " IN THE U.A.E. SHOULD NOT BE TRUSTED.

And Facebook is not a safe place to buy any highly-counterfeited merchandise.
