I wanted to point out that this seller jycjes.eoi9mtfpv has listed the brass one again.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/gold-plated...556?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item28000e9d14
This is her sales history:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/Key-Chains-..._ssn=jycjes.eoi9mtfpv&_dcat=45237&Brand=Coach

Do you see problems with those we haven't discussed yet? It looks like they have some of the same charms.
Click to expand...

Seller jycjes.eoi9mtfpv should BE AVOIDED, They seem to have nothing but fake Coach keychains.

The "Princess keychain" in this Completed listing:
171759267598
http://www.ebay.com/itm/coach-princ...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

and in this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-lot-coach...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

SHOULD look like the first picture below, style 66320, Crown Multi Mix Key Ring. Wrong number of links in the main chain, wrong size of the top link, should only have ONE Key and ONE Crown charm, size and font on the Padlock Charm and the font on the Hangtag charm are all wrong, and there should be 11 links in the chain instead of just 9.

Second and third pics were posted by a tPF'er here:
http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-cl...ey-ring-clubhouse-765927-70.html#post24861126

(I'll try to check the others a bit later, my computer is telling me that it needs a break)

Wondering about this bag's creed. It states "finest materials trimmed with leather" when in fact, it's all leather. Opinion please. Thanks.

Actually that bag isn't leather or patent leather. It is fabric treated to look like patent leather. Coach called this liquid gloss, and on later items called it patent fabric. Also, most newer bags have similar wording whether or not they are leather. Coach moved towards using a generic creed. I guess it was cheaper than making a custom one for each type of bag.

VINTAGE COACH BONNIE CASHIN NYC BLACK LEATHER KISSLOCK BAG STRIPED LINING RARE!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-COA...E-/261880348416?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123

I asked if there was a creed & received this answer: Hello no there is no creed the cashin line didn't have one. Diane

I know that early bags did not have a creed. I asked anyway to get a picture if the bag indeed did have a creed. Any red flags here? Thanks

The bag is fine. I don't know the name or style number. It is a Bonnie Cashin design. You could ask on the vintage chat thread if anyone has more information.

I'm not at all comfortable with ANY of jycjes.eoi9mtfpv 's listings. I don't believe any of the keychains are actually fully made by Coach although a some might have some genuine charms. The enameling doesn't look right, the fonts on some appear to have serifs where they shouldn't and the links don't look right.

This is definitely fake too:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Preowned-CO...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

as is this. Look at the C shape pattern on the round cutout charm:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-gold-...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I don't recommend jycjes.eoi9mtfpv.

Thank you. That's what I thought. If we report the ones we know are fake, is there anything we can do about the others we can't prove are fake?

Shoot, it's gone now. Not meant to be!

It wasn't sold, just removed. Maybe you can contact the seller. These get listed fairly often so it should be easy to find another one. This is my favorite Bleecker color. I searched for a long time to find a large flap at a decent price. Just when I was about to give up and bite the bullet on an expensive one, someone listed another one for a decent price! Not every seller is going to use the correct color name. Some will call it whiskey.

Funny! I thought it sold, so I messaged her that if it fell through to let me know. So maybe all is not lost. Thanks!

OK, I did think it was patent leather. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
