Is citron an authentic color for a Coach Rowan handbag?


Please include the required photos and details required for authentication, see the READ ME post at the top of each page.

There are almost three hundred listings for "Coach Rowan" just on Ebay and that includes at least a dozen VERY different styles. There's no way to check Coach's records for color availabilty on a 2-year old style without knowing WHICH style it is and more importantly, whether the bag itself is authentic. Colors aren't genuine, Bags are. And why couldn't an available color for a genuine Coach be used on a fake?

Item: coach mini shopper 9993

Seller and site where listed: carleyneobauer, Mercari

I'm sorry. It's fake.

I don't know how Mercari is when someone receives a fake but you need to let carlyneubauer know she sold a fake and that you need a refund.
 
Picked this up at Goodwill today
Do you know date / name?
Thank you!

Dear authenticators

did Coach make a federal bag with turn lock? I’ve never seen one before.

Thank you.

Seller: kendelle8613


I don't believe Coach made that bag with that turnlock. I've never seen a turnlock in that shape before, there's a very good chance it was added by one of its owners, which decreases the value BIG TIME.

If you're buying it to re-sell, I personally wouldn't advise it. It's no longer in original condition.

More opinions are welcome. If I'm wrong, I'd welcome a correction.

I thought it was weird too. I’ve been looking for this federal bag for myself for a while. so hard to find.

Definitely wouldn’t want to buy one that’s been modified.
Thank you for your help
