As much as I'd like to believe that people are honest, it gets harder to believe every year.

And in some ways the internet and social media have made it worse. Everyone's a Special Snowflake, any bozo can becoame an "expert" by reading a few "guides" and convince herself of the fact by writing yet another guide that's copied the same BS she read in the first ones and then adding another steaming pile of dog shyte out of her own miserably inadequate brain cells.

I hope there's a special place in He11 for the writers of all those bogus Guides. I want them all to be tightly wrapped in yards of shiny gold mini-C lining and thrown into a boiling lake of molten vinyl formed by thousands of semi-melted counterfeit Foach bags as toxic vapors from the lead and arsenic in the fakes bubbles up from the surface. Demons on the shore will be forcing them by means of well-placed pitchfork stabs to sew even more fake Coaches - but they have to do it while matching up all the seams and not cutting through any of the Cs. All this while the surface of the lake seethes with venomous snakes whose scales are in the colors and pattern of a zipper and whose tongues say "YKK" in flaming letters.

And on the shore will be every seller who's ever had a genuine Coach item pulled because of what one of those morons wrote in their stinking Guides, but comfortably dressed in air-conditioned HAZMAT suits and breathing apparatus as they constantly throw more YKK snakes into the simmering stinking glop.

Gives you a nice warm feeling just THINKING about it, doesn't it?

Note to self...never EVER piss off Hyacinth!!! And yes...my cockles are definitely warmed!!

Thanks!

Two areas to check - make sure the interior divider is sewn into both side seams. I have seen them come loose. Second, make sure the back pocket is still sewn into the seams.

Listing number 2 from MYBELLE21 is fake, the serial number 0974-534 is a known and always fake number, and is on my Fake Coach Serial Numbers list posted here at tPF and also on Daria48's Fakes List posted at Ebay. The creed font and serial number font are both wrong, the inside pocket zipper has some white coloring on the leather that shouldn't be there, and it's not completely legible but my aged eyes are seeing "marXings" on the creed.

The first and third listings look ok.

Here are both lists, it's a really good idea to Bookmark both of them although since Daria and I worked together on researching them they have mostly the same information.

[thecollector629]

And last but not least from same group....

6.Black Legacy Zip J8Y-9966
(I know this prefix is suspect if not always fake)

Although I am almost 100% sure this is no good I just wanted back up when I tell the seller.
ALso good to show anyone who might be looking that this bag has the CORRECT turn lock hardware, and a YKK zipper!
so much for the ykk myth of course we know already.
Buckle is marked "brass",
and rivets on the strap look more silver than gold.

This is interesting.

I'm curious and would like opinions on this listing.

IMO, the box looks like it has a "Coach" sticker stuck on to a generic box, the stitching is a sloppy mess, the key ring and D-ring are the wrong shape and I'm wondering whether it's a fake bullet.

Here's one I had a few years ago.
