Thank you for all the comparison pictures. Even if she didn't realize it was fake, she shouldn't be describing it as new with that damage.

Where are you seeing the fanofthefind listing described as "new?"

I'm seeing "pre-owned" as the condition in Item Specifics and "Good, pre-owned condition" in the description.

IMO, this seller sells enough Coach keychains that she should recognize the lack of quality of this one!

Item: COACH Scarf Print Sateen Multi-Colored Shoulder Bag with Patent Leather Accents
Listing number: 171899035546
Seller: bodvi_tenni
Link: http://m.ebay.com/itm/171899035546?_mwBanner=1
Comments: Hi there! I purchased this item but when I received it, it does not have a creed. Seller insists this style does not have a creed and that it was purchased at a Coach store. It appears well made, but I'm concerned. Any assistance is much appreciated!

It looks fine although a picture of the inside should have been shown. Many of Coach's smaller items such as swingpacks, pouches, wristlets, may or may not have creeds, depending on the styles. And those with creeds may or may not have serial numbers.

Yay! My first Willis (it is a Willis isn't it?) and I am intrigued with the color! (asked her to post pics with the dowels)

Yes, it's a Willis. I am curious about the color too. It is different in several of the pictures.

Well, it's gone now so I can't say why I thought that, but I remember thinking that she had listed it as new. Maybe I just thought that because she normally does sell new.

It could just be the lighting, the second and third pics look really over-lit and washed out. The 1999 gray was called Dark Grey and looks like the seller's other photos when you compare them to the Small Hippie Flap in the catalog photo.

I'll let you know when it arrives. I really like that it has nickel hardware.

1. authentic
2. could be okay but can't tell without complete creed picture
3. authentic
4. We need a creed picture. It is in the pocket if I remember correctly.
5. Ask for a creed picture. It can't be authenticated without one.

#5 has updated their listing to include a creed photo. Thanks again!

I need help authenticating this Coach bag please. I bought it on a social local media group. They said it was real but I need help to be sure before I list to sell.


I don't know the name of the bag, no seller since it wasn't an online purchase but below are pictures for your review. Thank you!

I'd appreciate it if I can get this authenticated plus an item and style number if you know it. Thanks again!!

Number 5 is a genuine Court Bag from 1996. The hardware looks silver-ish in the photos but it should be brass, the seller's lighting is playing games with both the bag and the hardware colors..

Your side-by-sides are always better though. I don't think Irfanview can do that. :shrugs:

I (sort of) cheat for my side by sides. I paste the jpg images on a word doc (landscape, legal with .2 margins) and crop them. The resulting image is .png.

I've never used Irfanview and don't know how it works.

I hope everyone who is considering buying one of these dog fobs looks at this post. I think this might be the most counterfeited fob of them all!

Some fakes are more obvious than others, but there are some really close fakes and fanofthefind had one of them.
