You DON'T try to do it yourself, there are hundreds of different reasons why a "Coach" might be fake. Anyone who tries to be their own authenticator without a TON of experience and photos is going to get into trouble. You should always ask here for authentication before you bid or buy.

And ANY Coach or other brand can be faked, and almost every mid- to high-priced brand is.

The Willis in that particular listing is genuine, made in 2002.

I have surely learned my lesson on stopping here first before buying, appreciate y’alls help! Where on this forum can I find the list that was compiled by Daria? I searched ‘Daria’ and didn’t get very far.

The Daria48 Fake Coach Serial Numbers list is in the Salearea Guides thread, and that thread is Pinned at the top of every page with an Index here in the Coach Shopping Forum.

I strongly recommend reading and Bookmarking the entire thread. The first 13 or so posts are mostly background and some of the links in them no longer work, but the rest of that thread has some useful information.

Now that ebay is removing the guides they've been hosting for years, those who use those guides have been forced to either save them on their computers or print them. Tonight I found that the Salearea guides (including the Hyacinth/Salearea collaboration ones) have been saved to Salearea's...

Thank you so much, I was just stumbling around here

But the G2X-9927 listing on eBay - you think that one is ok?

Google finds everything. Search "Coach 19837" and you'll find many other images of the bag. Of course, checking with the experts here is your best bet to verify authenticity!

Yes, I know The Google, lol. This bag in particular though, when searched either by serial number or reverse photo searching only brings up a handful that are identical, most of which are sketchy foreign sites. And, there are only two other eBay listings, where most coach styles have at LEAST a dozen. So, it seemed every so slightly odd. But, I agree, here is the only source I trust. I only use Google to make my best guess at authenticity and see if something is OBVIOUSLY fake before I ask here.
