  • I'm a total newbie when it comes to purchasing Coach bags and I want this to be my first-ever purchase. Please help!

The first two photos are what the seller sent me as proof/authenticity. The rest are screenshots from the seller's page. Check out the creed - the stitching really threw me off. I'm thinking it's fake. :'(

I'm not comfortable for several reasons.

Pictures shown are showing different bags, different receipts with different dates (yet all with the same Coach associates' names) and different tags.

In looking at the listing as well as the seller's instagram, I am even more suspicious of the seller because bagsandtagsbyjc appears to be located in the Philippines.

If you search the Coach subforum here on TPF, you'll find that there have been a lot of posts discussing the close fakes coming out of the PI. I can only speak for Coach but personally, I don't recommend buying ANY items from sellers in the Philippines. The fakes are just too close and listings often show some possibly authentic items mixed with pictures of fakes as well as a mix of props from different items.

Based on the mix of pictures shown in the listing as well as the pictures showing "proof of authenticity," I believe that the bags sold by bagsandtagsbyjc are fake.
 
Authentic? Crossbody with studs. I bought this on shopgoodwill.com and intend to sell it. IF you all say it's a real Coach bag.

Authentic? This bag looks like it was dyed black instead of the lovely blue it originally was. Beyond that weirdness, is it real? I bought this on Mercari from someone named "Thrifty Method." Here's a link to their listing and then my own photos. https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m57703053712/ Thank you!!
