Can u please authenticate this coach swagger for me?

The bag is fake.

Is there a link from which you purchased/found it?

Here's the link for the coach swagger on eBay

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BLACK-CO...=LH_DefaultDomain_15&var=&hash=item3aab6037f4

I received a PM from someone asking why I stated that lindaaulau 's listing was fake. If she has questions, there are probably other lurkers who wonder what I saw.

There are a lot of things wrong but just a comparison of the creed to a genuine creed shows pretty obvious differences:

lindaaulau creed:

Side by side comps are usually very helpful!!

Thanx for letting me know. I see fakes around all the time but sometimes I am still taken by surprise. They are so fast at replicating !

I purchased this bag 3 years ago; not in the best shape. Could you tell me if it's authentic?

Thank you, what is the name and date?

It's probably a classic pouch #9170 from the early 70s. Coach calls this the "original Coach bag." Remember, on bags without a style number we need measurements in order to identify.

Did anyone look at rosemerrily's profile?

What a surprise! I wonder if any of her buyers for the last few months were informed.

They would only have received emails telling them that a listing was removed for violations.

The bag is authentic and gorgeous! I wonder if the seller reads this thread since they posted a picture of the back of the turnlock.

 

[Cate103]

Sorry for the oversight, I definitely will! And thanks for the authentication! It's so nice to see a seller post really good, clear pics. So many make you work for it

After receiving a second PM from a different member who wasn't seeing too many "issues" with the swagger bag that lindaaulau had listed, here's another side by side comparison.

After seeing this fake as well as the post from last week (which I'm not able to find), I think the swagger styles are among those styles (like 10124 and 10125 and wallets) where I recommend either avoiding those listings, having items looked at by experts or only buying from sellers with a proven history of selling only authentic items.

Here's another side by side comparison which I think shows huge differences between the two bags, one deemed fake and the other authentic.

When a profile shows as "not a registered user," AFAIK, that's not something the member does!

But creamsiclemolly is still active.

ETA: BTW, I'm not sure whether any of the pieces (watches included) are authentic in this listing:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-Sale-Co...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

The pink butterfly charms in that lot are a mess. The enamel is too far below the level of the borders, there's some really sloppy splashes of enamel running over the silver edges, and it looks like the top loops on the charms are too small. The added loops above those are those cheapo double-row mystery metal ones sold in crafts stores at two bucks for a package of 50. The Lollipop charms copied from style 92096 is fake too, the real one is orange, not pink.

But she's NOT listing those charms as Coach, if you read the descriptionj carefully. The only items described as Coach are the watches, "and used C logo Boot lanyard, gold pave crystal star charm, medium gold lozenge and new metallic silver leather charm, luggage charm and used black leather charm. The other lot is non-Coach charms and Juicy watch box, they are free." And she's not showing the backs of the charms either. Can you say "experienced crook/fakes seller?" I knew you could.

BUT she screwed up - THE "COACH" BOOT LANYARD IS FAKE !!!!
The Cs aren['t the right shape, the color should be a pinky-purple, NOT white, and that's NOT a Coach hangtag on the ring. Style 60042. Pic below.

ETA - adding an enlargement of the fake from creamsiclemolly aka rosemerrily for comparison

The watches resemble some older styles from around 12 to 15 years ago and might be ok. Most of the charms are CWAP.

The watches are definitely fake. I was ta bit too evasive.

Although the style might be similar to legit styles, the backs of the cases have the wrong font, wrong/missing info and one of them is stamped sideways!

As for the boot, at one time, rosemerrily tried to sell that same item. I reported and posted on it in September, 2014:

creamsiclemolly should be avoided too!

I wonder if, when reporting, you could point out that she is the same person.

My report just happened to mention that.
