Don't feel any sympathy for a fakes seller whose name gets posted here - anyone who deliberately lies about where they bought their "genuine" fake doesn't deserve any.

I agree. It's posted now.

Here's the listing for the fake Stewardess:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Coa...FMebuRBa8%2B8Ghs2gNtA%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

That listing is a good example of why we always remind members to only consider buying or bidding on items that show a clear, readable photo of the creed stamp and serial number, and to have it authenticated here before bidding.

shop16comp is NOT a seller we can recommend.

Could someone please authenticate this Coach wallet?
From GW...must be a pink spree!
Approx. 7.25"w x 4"h x 1"d
Signature Zip Around Wallet? Any idea of age or style number?
As always...thanks in advance!

It looks ok but I can't help with a name or date.

Please leave appropriate feedback for your seller, shop16comp so it'll be there in case her listing for the fake stewardess bag gets removed. (Once a listing is removed, you'll be unable to leave feedback. But if you leave feedback prior to a removal, the comment will remain. I'd suggest a neg to the effect of "Seller sold fake Coach bag. Lied that it was purchased @ Coach store." (Tweak if there are too many characters for the comment to fit..)

ETA: Does this wallet sold by shop16comp look familiar to anyone? I've never seen the style but that's not necessarily conclusive.

Look at the last picture. Doesn't it look like there are slots rather than pockets in the bottom section. AFAIK Coach has never used slots like that. What is the puffy horizontal thing above the bottom section?

Upon further review of the pictures of the wallet sold by shop16comp, I have absolutely no doubt that the wallet is fake. (I'd originally been looking at the pictures on my porch and the brightness of outdoor light obscured some of the details in the already lousy pictures.

I just looked again indoors and now I can see the HUGE red flag shown in the picture of the ID window and pockets. Additoinally, the lining shown behind the ID window is used by Coach.


So this is another fake sold by shop16comp.

NOT made by Coach - not just slots for the credit cards, but all the slots AND the ID window are stitched and they should be heat-sealed. "Leatherware" under the Coach logo is too big. In fact that whole Coach logo on the front is much too big. AND IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING CENTERED CORRECTLY! Look at the positions of the Carriage stamp and the fake turnlock under it. What a POS !!!

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM " shop16comp " under ANY circumstances!

ETA - here are the problem areas on the wallet from fakes seller shop16comp that we mentioned:

Please authenticate this Stewardess? bag. The bag is about 10.5 inches wide and 10.5 inches deep. The strap is 55(!) inches long. The gromets are brass. I know this one is often faked. Thanks.

It may be ok but I'd really like to see the back half of the turnlock plate, and would also like the strap buckles checked front and back for any stampings. More opinions would also be welcome. It sounds like the strap was replaced.
