They all look ok. The second bag is from the Soho Twill Stripe line from Spring 2004 but I'm still trying to find a style number. I'll add to this post once I get numbers for the Swingpack and the keychain. And yes, the Daisy came as standard bling with most of the Soho Twill and Twill Stripe items that season.

ETA - Sorry, no luck finding a number for the Swingpack. The keychain is a Pave Multicharm Keyfob, style 1653

On the ebay forum, there's a long thread regarding Tradesy. I'm not impressed with the site because I've had NO luck in getting a single fake removed. It was last October (2014) that I emailed them with a bunch of listings, detailed descriptions of why the items were fake and a bit about myself to prove my knowledge of the items. Not only did the listings never get removed but I didn't even get an automated reply receipt nor any type of acknowledgement from them.

After a fake Coach keychain was posted from a Tradesy seller (who also sells on ebay but she doesn't have fakes listed on ebay, the seller came to the thread defending herself.

Again, it was confirmed by both Whateve and me that her keychain is fake. Yet the listing remains although the poster assured us of her "honesty" and would remove it.

Thanks, Hyacinth...after a period of finding bags with NO hangtags, these were pretty good deals WITH hangtags and a bonus keyring for only $9.99 each. I'll watch for your update!

The metal daisies are definitely fake, Coach never made that style AND all the Cs are wrong.

The Star would never have been a standalone charm even if it was genuine, it doesn't even look as though those are actual crystals. Either part of the base metal or maybe marcasites, but NOT the crystals Coach uses, see the keychain a few posts above yours for a real Coach star charm.

So Ebay seller " coach*collector " " coach collector " or " coachcollector " thinks it's ok to cheat and screw her customers on Tradesy, as long as she doesn't do it on Ebay??? A CROOK IS STILL A CROOK, NO MATTER WHERE THEY SET UP SHOP. I DON'T RECOMMEND BUYING FROM THIS SELLER AT ANY SITE UNDER ANY ID.

And the same holds for " December's Child " on Tradesy.

Thanks. Yes, we knew the daisy fob was fake. It was the star that I'd never seen anything like and was curious about that. It looks to me as though the star doesn't have any stones but instead has raised bumps.

I believe Tradesy allows hangtags, charms, etc., presumably only authentic ones, even if not sold as standalone items.

I reported this fake keychain to Tradesy about an hour ago and it is now gone. I can't prove it was removed because of my report.

I bought a bag once just to get that daisy hangtag!

Hi I am wanting to authenticate an older coach that belonged to my mother. The feel, look, and stitching look to be authentic but the serial number is L2S-9521 and I can't find a another one online with that number anywhere.

 

[BeenBurned]

I reported this fake keychain to Tradesy about an hour ago and it is now gone. I can't prove it was removed because of my report.

I reported it too.

In fact, I updated after someone posted how she was getting the listings removed:

[BeenBurned]

The bag looks okay but I htink you may have copied the serial number incorrectly. Style 9521 isn't your bag's style.

When searching, use only the numbers to the right of the hyphen.

I've been getting great results from reporting listings on Tradesy; better than ebay lately. I wish I had saved copies of all the fakes of December's Child that were removed after I reported them. (So I could show them to her.) I wonder if Tradesy will ever NARU a member for reported fakes. I know they will if a fake is returned. I also wonder what kind of message, if any, they send to the seller if a listing of theirs is removed.
