It could be. Mine looks a little lighter. It might be putty or sandstone.

I hope you can get your money back. And like BeenBurned said, please post the YouTuber's name and URL so other members can avoid them.

I'm not sure if YouTubers can remove negative comments posted on their pages, but that might be something to consider. If you don't heaa from the seller or have any problems getting your money back, please post here again ASAP.

Hi Hyacinth, the seller still hasn't contacted me. I'm giving her until Sunday then I'm putting in a dispute with PayPal. I paid $225+shipping.
Here is her YouTube channel. Her name is purse_trippin with 25K subs. Same name for Instagram. Never pegged her for a scammer, but it appears that she has no integrity when confronted about authenticity issues. She even called it out during the video that it was made in Korea and yes, she checked and it's authentic. See video posted on She has also said that she has worked for Coach. I get the feeling she won't even give me the dignity of providing me with a response. I trusted her after watching her channel for months. Wow, she really had me fooled. Live and learn.

Hi, thanks so much for this information. I've contacted the seller but I haven't received a response from her yet.

thought it was purse_trippin ...she sold a fake Balenciaga a few weeks ago...blocked me and another member on her Instagram when I called her on it being a fake. I trust the Authenticators here more than her.

Clearly, she knows at least some of her stuff is fake because she posted this YouTube video. (YouTube banned her for 2 weeks for "selling dupes.")

Hey friends! YouTube has banned me from loading videos for 2 weeks. I guess it's against policy to sell dupes. No worries tho...I'll do my time lol and actually enjoy some much needed time off! If you guys want to get ahold of me or Heck I'll sell my purses on my instagram, feel free to follow me over there! Hugs to you all! https://www.instagram.com/purse_trippin/"

Hi, on YouTube and Instagram she is purse_trippin with 25K subs on her channel. I trusted her after watching her videos for months. I paid $225+shipping. I never pegged her for a scammer, but she sure fooled me. Even called it out on the video that I bought the bag from that it was from Korea, and yes, she checked and it was authentic. Says she has worked for Coach too. If I don't hear back from her by Sunday I'm putting in a dispute with PayPal and my credit card company. Live and learn.

" purse_trippin " on youTube and Instagram is a scammer, a rip-off artist and a lying Sack Of Shyte. She's also a lawbreaker. Selling counterfeits in the US is a felony. And she seems to think it's amusing.

There's NOWHERE that she can go and be told by any legitimate source that Coach made handbags in Korea. Just Googling "coach handbag korea" will show that she's lying.

I'd advise waiting for Paypal to respond and refund before contacting your credit card company. You can only file one claim at a time. But follow BeenBurned's advice, she's one of tPF's top experts on complaints, claims and refunds.

Good luck!
