She uploaded another clearer creed photo.

She uploaded another clearer creed photo.

Thank you, the second creed pic is much better. Several details I needed to see clearly weren't showing up well in the first photo.

Genuine, made in 1997 like all examples of that style we've found so far

That bag from the same seller is authentic but I wouldn't give the seller my business unless she does the right thing and ends to 2 listings of fakes. (IMO, an honest seller would do that!)

That’s true!

Thank you so much!

Hello Authenticators,

I really wish I found this site earlier - I’m young and pretty excited to start collecting Coach bags. However, I forgot to check this purchase for authenticity. Here’s a bag I recently bought - could someone check to see if its real? I've attached a picture of the creed that the seller uploaded.

Comments: I said I didn't need any more bags, and then I saw this sequinned cutie. Entrupy says authentic. What say the real experts? Please and thank you for taking a look.

Ugh! The pictures in the listing aren't really clear enough to see enough detail (one of the tricks I've seen used by Japanese sellers). Too bad there's no tag or receipt. (Most of the tags and receipts used in Japanese listings are fake.)

I hate to be Debbie Downer but from what I've seen in Coaches from Japan and especially with licensed items (Peanuts, Disney, Nasa, etc.) my conservative guess is that 90% of wallets and 75% of bags are fake. (and that's my conservative guesstimate. I really think the numbers are higher. )

I see a few details that make me feel uncomfortable and I don't believe that bag is authentic.

Because the seller has a 60 day free return policy, I would return it. (The only other listings I've seen of this bag are sellers in Japan and I don't recommend buying newer (within 6 years old and current) Coach from Japan.

In fact, here's a thread I started several years ago and gave up because reporting all the fakes was like playing Whack-a-mole.

Japanese Coach ring - warning

Japan has strong laws against the sale of counterfeit items and generally, Japanese sellers have had a reputation for being honest. However there have been cases where Korean fake (Coach) bags were listed and relisted by more than one Japanese sellers. But a couple of weeks ago, I came across...

There are many other discussions in the Coach subforum:

aw the ironic thing is i made sure to buy from a japanese seller as my first ebay purchase because of their reputation. really disappointed to hear. definitely will be more careful in the future about buying before authenticating.

I've attached a picture of the creed in the actual product I received, as well as the side hardware/strap and the front. I just want to make sure before I make any returns.

thanks for taking a look and replying!
