In in the phone with him now. He is in SC on base. Ok he says he bought it from a lady on an app called tophat? He said he on his order it has report item option and he wrote them an email. He feels bad :( I told him we all get fooled at some point and it was most define to the thought that counts. I have a toddler and don't want her touching it so I threw it out.
If you still have the trash available, I would retrieve the fake keychain because they (Tophatter) might require a return in order to get the refund.

For the record, I've found lots of fakes on Tophatter but it's a hard site to report on because of the way they run their live, short auctions.

Good luck.
 
He had no idea it was a breast cancer awareness key fob. He said now he feels doubly bad poor thing. It wasn't in the item description. I don't know much about key chains so I didn't know either!

The one he bought isn't a BCA fake, if that makes him feel any better. One of the charms is a copy of a BCA charm but the other charms were copied from several other genuine styles, mostly this one, style 92115 which was only made in this purple and pink combination, never in Green or any other color and never with a charm with a large center crystal:

Congratulations on your and his persistence. Glad he got the refund.

There are authentic Coach keychains to be found on online venues. Just verify authenticity first.

They all look ok.
 
Please tell me whether this zipper pull would be on this type of bag. The stitching on the piping is really sloppy.

There's no creed picture but I think the pictures shown might be enough to authenticate. ;)
Thanks.

This one is fake.

ETA: the only time Coach used similar metal zipper pulls were on pebbled leather bags.
 
And another with both ebay and Bonz listings.

FAKE. Here's s genuine J8D- creed patch from the D plant. Not only is the font wrong, but the lining of the Lexington styles should have the Coach logo. And there's no way such a badly cut and sewn patch could ever have come out of the D plant which at the time was probably Coach's most experienced.

Item: Black Signature Satin Sequin front demi - Style F17714

Comments: There are more on Ebay and the creed looks the same than mine, but you never know.... I originally bought it from a coworker. TIA
