Item name: Coach Swagger 37 chalk in colorblocked leather
Listing number: 221824107834
Seller: dnguyen1512
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-SWAGG...834?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33a5bf453a

I tried to ask for a close up of the leather creed, a pic of the hangtags, and the lining, but the seller said all the information is there; seemed to refuse taking any more. Even given her great feedback history, I assume it would be a better idea to abandon it? The fakes I see on the Swagger warning thread are just scary!

The first 5 pictures are images that the seller stolen from elsewhere on the internet so they don't do diddly as far as showing anything or whether the seller is honest.

And the other 5 pictures aren't detailed enough to authenticate plus pictures are missing that are necessary to authenticate it.

I don't recommend buying from sellers who aren't willing to do the work required to show enough of they're own pictures to help buyers to know what they're getting.

Now that I've done more research on the dnguyen1512, I can't recommend the seller. I believe all listings use stolen pictures.

Omg thank you BeenBurned! I feel like I really dodged a bullet with this one; good thing I was able to get your opinion on it! I did feel suspicious that the item seem to have only stock pictures, or some of the photos are different in the way that they're shot. Then she said she's unable to provide anymore, and with another item I asked only one that's unrelated to my question was posted.

Thank you again for doing all the investigation! I really can't stand how sellers would do that-you would think they would at least take the time to come up with info on the item they're selling! Have a great day! :smile1:

tem: Coach Duffle 9085

The leather, stitching, hardware etc.. seem right, but what about the creed? Is that an upside down G? Authentic?

It's genuine. I've seen at least one other bag from the same plant, month and year with the same upside-down G. Coach bags and especially creed and serial number stampings weren't always perfect especially in plants outside the US.

I agree, but it seems like something you might see in Asia where they don't use our alphabet. You would think a Hungarian would recognize a "G" and know what direction it is supposed to go!

I don't see any problems. More opinions are welcome. Did you read his feedback? Accusations of fake or not disclosing damage.

I'll comment on the Japanese seller.

Although the bag in question appears to be okay, the seller does have a bit of a history of listing fakes. (And they weren't removed at the time of the reports! It's difficult to get fakes listed by Japanese sellers removed!)

In the past, there were at least 2 previous fakes as shown by the following post:
