Hi. My daughter knows how much I love coach bags and she bought me a lot of them. Unfortunately most or all are all fake. Im at a loss for what to do. Please can someone direct me on actions I need to take. She thought I could clean them up and use some of them while giving away the rest to family and friends. She spent all of her summer earnings on trying to bless me and she didnt realize what she was doing. Thank you.

REMEMBER TO INCLUDE SELLER IDs with request.

1. from seller cmadden0211 - all are fine.
2. from seller tml4j - Listing doesn't include enough pictures to positively authenticate them but so far, no red flags.
3. from seller bru.ch81 - Dooney is fine. I see 3 Coaches but just one creed picture. But from what I see, all 3 look good. As for Fossil, I don't see a problem.

Why do you think they're all fake?

Thank you so much beenburned. From the seller Cmadden, the creeds look off. In looking at the second and third creeds, the wording is different from what I have seen before. The sentences ending with the words "are a characteristic" seem off. I know I could be wrong, but that's just not what I had seen before. I thought the sentences always ended with "are a characteristic of natural full grain leather".

From the seller tml4j, I thought that some of the C's on some of the bags were the wrong sizes. It is a relief to know i was wrong.

From the seller bru.ch81, the c's on the flower and bee bag do not line up down the middle. I thought that the c's in the middle always lined up.

I was also very concerned that she bought bags without seeing creed symbols first. It didnt seem right to not see creeds when purchasing.

I am learning to be more discerning in my purchases and I apologize for being wrong. She actually bought 2 more sets of purses, but you do know better than I do. I know that for a fact. She thought we could salvage what we could out of the piles and donate some to thrift, but still have enough to manage for some usage and many to give to family and friends. I just clarified with her why she bought so many.

from Cmadden: The creeds are correct for when and where they were made and for the bags they're on.

From tml4j: As I said in my post, there aren't pictures of all the parts we like (and often need) to see to authenticate but there aren't any red flags. If you post pictures of the interiors or the bags and any creeds in bags that have them, more definitive authentications can be done.

Re the sizes of the signature prints on the bags, different bags have different size patterns and the signature pattern has to be correct for the style of bag, something the fakers can goof on. What I see so far, they're correct for the bags.

From bru.ch81: I'm not seeing mismatched or uncentered pattern. It looks right though again, I can't give a definite answer without more pictures. FYI, there are some signature patterns and bag styles where the pattern isn't lined up (i.e., optic signature pattern) and even some where the centering isn't correct. (Search style 10482 and look at the back of the bag.)

You are correct to be concerned that there are so many purchases done without appropriate pictures but it looks like you got lucky because at this point, I don't see a single fake! But in the future, be sure to get more pictures before buying!

gablesmiami120 - All seem okay but ideally, I would have liked to see more pictures.
bammy22 - both Coaches are fine.
