yes, report. It wasn't made by Coach. It looks like someone put a Coach hangtag on it. The seller says it doesn't say Coach anywhere on it but must be authentic because their sister-in-law owned it! That inside thing looks like Dooney.

LOL! That's what you get when Coach and Dooney have a one-night-stand!

It looks like there was a fake Dooney duck emblem that someone peeled off the front.

1. authentic.
2. authentic.
3. authentic. Looks like a Plaza Court Large.
4. authentic. It is hard to tell from the pictures if the leather edge just escaped the piping or actually tore. If it escaped the piping, you'd have to remove the stitching, push it back under and restitch. It is difficult to do at home but can be done, or you can take it to a leather repair. If the leather actually tore, then it depends on how perfect you want the fix. To do it the right way, I would remove the piping back to where it was pieced, get another piece of matching leather and replace it. To do it quick and dirty, I'd fill it with leather cement and cover with Leather Refinisher or another coloring agent.
5. authentic. I think it looks like British tan and just needs conditioning to return it to its original color. It's hard to tell in a picture but it doesn't look like Putty to me.
6. authentic.

Thank you SO MUCH Whateve for both the authentications and the advice!

My mom has officially caught the coach bug. After she opened one of my packages containing my new to me Court, she turned to me and asked "Does it come in a bigger size?" :roflmfao: Hence the sudden obsession with the plaza. I have to admit, it IS cute, and if it weren't so expensive I'd buy one for myself.

In other news, my sister has been commenting about my growing coach collection. As I was opening the box containing a green Janice's legacy, I hear her voice from 30 feet away call out "Is that green? If it's green I'll take it." :woot: It's an epidemic

You're welcome! I love my plaza court. It looks like a smiley face! Be careful, there were two sizes and sometimes sellers don't measure them correctly. You probably don't want to end up with the small version.

I don't blame your sister for liking green either. No one in my family likes vintage so I'm safe there. My daughter takes a lot of my newer bags though.

Could someone please authenticate this wallet:

Item: Coach Wallet Brown Leather
Seller: 1846robert
Item #: 111747395112
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111747395112?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Thank you!

The pictures are dark and somewhat inadequate for authentication purposes but I don't recommend 1846robert because the seller does sell fakes.

This "Coach" wallet is fake:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Wallet-Patchwork-/111749992094?hash=item1a04d18e9e

And he sold this fake.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Purse...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

And this is another fake in his completed listings:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bronze-And-...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I don't recommend 1846robert.
