Your suspicions are correct. The bag is fake and if you haven't yet paid, let the seller know you have no intention of paying because it's counterfeit.

Since you just purchased it today, even if paid, I doubt it's been shipped yet. Let the seller know you want a full refund and if necessary, direct her here.



Thank you! I just sent her a message. Unfortunately, I already paid. I usually pay right away. Hopefully, she will do what is right.
 
I think I made a big mistake. My daughter wanted this style tote and I jumped on this auction without doing my homework. Once it was won I did a quick google search and according to some Coach Guides the serial number seems to mark it as counterfeit. Could someone take a look?

I hope so too.

I suspect this is an honest seller who made a mistake in not authenticating her item. Her other listings look okay. (That doesn't excuse her since sellers are required to know items are legal before listing but I don't suspect that this seller is one who set out to scam a buyer.)

Since the listing has been removed, I'm guessing she's more apt to issue a refund.

Here's a picture of the creed:

I want to say before that. 2007ish. I bought the coin one in June 2007 but for the life of me can't find it. I have a stack of catalogues in no particular order.

Looks like I was beat out by Hyacinth[emoji2]. I think they came out with the Legacys, not the Bleeckers.
Thank you! I have some Legacy and Bleecker catalogs. I'll look for it. I should probably scan them to make it easier to find things!
Thanks whateve!
You're welcome!
