Be careful of the seller, klynn1221. Evidently, she doesn't authenticate her items before listing them.

I've been reporting this fake keychain for 3 days.

The first one looks good. (The bag)

Regarding the second listing for the scarf, the pictures are pretty blurry. If the scarf has any labels, I'd like to see them.

I do want to comment on a caveat. Personally, I wouldn't buy from this seller.

audzillartisthas two other listings for fake Coach jewelry:

I know you've been looking for the scarf but I'd want to see more pictures.

The bag: Yay! Thank you!

The scarf: Oh poop. I've asked for photos of any tags. I'll update when I know more.

Help! :confused1:
I purchased this Metropolitan briefcase and now find myself questioning the hardware. It looks flimsy for Coach, like maybe it's been repaired.

Item: Coach Briefcase Black Leather 001 8903 Authentic Vintage Used Metropolitan Large
Item #: 371331156077
Seller: electron_lady
Listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Brief...XTzhWAvkGTg2OK48bMneo%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc


But then I found this bag, also pre-1994 serial number, and the hardware looks like same:
Listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Black...122?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e9fc9048a

:weird: Any help is very much appreciated. Here are some more photos of the hardware on the bag I purchased:

I don't see any problems. The buckle looks exactly like buckles Coach used at the time and the rivet is concave on the back like those Coach used. Counterfeiters usually get the rivets wrong. Once I had to replace one and I couldn't find an exact match. More opinions are welcome.

I don't see any problems either. If you're used to Coaches made before the late 1980s, the "newer" hardware may seem different because Coach had changed from solid brass to lighter brass-plated hardware right around that time. The seller might also have taken some hardware off to polish it.

I have a Coach Stewardess that needs authenticating and then another unknown Coach to follow. Thanks in advance for your time and expertise.
