Quick question - is it safe to assume that bags with the outlet bullseye are authentic? Or has there been instances of counterfeits having that mark as well? Thank you so much!

There have been several instances in which we've seen fakes with bullets.

In fewer cases, the bullets were obviously put there by counterfeiters. (The bullets were the wrong size and/or shape or the bag wasn't even close to looking like any Coach.)

But I have examples of bullets that look perfect. Whether they were done by "good" fakers or by Coach after unknowingly accepting a fake as a return, sometimes it's hard to know.

Easy answer to your question: No, a bullet stamp shouldn't automatically be assumed to indicate an authentic item.

Hi! I don’t see the court bags with Nickel hardware and an adjustable strap very often! Is this more rare than my black and gold court bag? I made the seller an offer via messages so I just want to confirm authenticity before responding to the seller’s last message. Trying to figure out if my offer was reasonable or not, but it looks to be in pretty good condition!

You're correct.

It's a known invalid serial number.

Thank you! I just purchased it! Ahh now I have a court to wear whether I’m wearing gold or silver jewelry! I can’t wait!

Hi! Is the hangtag on the Black Drake the same as the hangtag on the Black Biltmore? If authentic, I’m considering getting this and moving the hangtag to my Biltmore that doesn’t have a hangtag haha! Thanks again!

Thank you @BeenBurned, unfortunately despite being made aware of the fact the bag is fake, the seller knowingly sold it at a reduced price to an unsuspecting buyer.

Shameful behaviour.

Is this a bag from the 1970’s? Is it real? Purchased from Salvation Army.
