Hi,

I have purchased this bag from EBay and have taken pictures of the bag myself as attached, appreciate your help for authenticating thanks!

Btw, one of the handles seem to be flaking/ peeling, is it an authenticity problem or storage of bag issue?

Many thanks!

Name of bag: Coach Borough in Chambray, pebbled leather

Hi
I was looking to buy f36375. But why the logo differs?

Before commenting, I want to suggest you read post #1 for the posting format and information we need to answer your questions.
http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-sh...oach-read-1st-page-before-posting-889527.html

Regarding the pictures you've posted, if a seller is showing them, I'd recommend against that seller because obviously, the seller is showing pictures of (at least) 2 different bags. Clearly they aren't all pics of the same bag since pictures do show different logos. (And this is why we need to see selling IDs and links to listings!) Either the seller steals all pictures from other sellers or sites or she mixes her own pictures with those of others.

As a result, I can't authenticate the bag you're looking for. Use the guidelines in post #1 to repost specific items you're interested in and make sure that either the listings show the necessary pictures or you get them from the sellers.

Regarding style MFF 36375, it appears that Coach made the bag with both types of logos. Unfortunately, very few of the sellers' listings below show all the pictures necessary for authenticating them so without more pictures, I don't recommend buying. However, I also don't see any screaming problems either though I haven't opened and looked at every listing.

ETA: I think I found the original listing from which the first picture came. Perhaps you were posting more than one set of pictures to show the comparison of the different logos?

This listing shows an authentic bag and the seller's pictures are her own:

The bag in your pictures looks fine but as I requested above, please refer to post #1 for the posting format.

If items are bought from an online listing and if the pictures in the listing are adequate for authentication purposes, you need not post your own pictures unless there's an area of concern and then you can post those additional pictures along with the link to the listing.

I am not buying from ebay.

In ebay i am able to see both types of logo. But if I google f36375 only oval type logo is visible. I am from out of usa. The seller conducts spree and buys from usa outlets. She is selling from long time. No negative reviews so far. I dont doubt her but just want to know does coach sells same model no. bags with different logos.

She send me few pics(i have attached now).

The one she selling doesnt have oval logo.

Thanks for explaining. I didn't understand that you weren't asking about a specific bag but instead, were questioning the style and whether there are different versions of it.

In order to authenticate a particular seller's item, the one you will purchase, we need to see actual pictures of it. The pictures that the seller sent aren't adequate. So far, it seems okay but without further pictures, I don't feel comfortable giving a thumbs up.

Please request a picture of the full front of the bag, a close up of the logo and a picture of the creed.

I'm not sure where you're located but I do know a lot of Singapore and Malaysian buy from trustworthy US sellers and resell in their country.

However there are also a lot of fakes being sold and many buyers don't recognize items as fake, thus feedback doesn't necessarily reflect the seller's honesty.

If you will please add the additional pictures, I'll be able to advise.

Hi BeenBurned

Thank you, I have posted a request to authenticate this seller's item before purchasing but found the pictures being abit unclear from the posting thus I took some of my own upon receiving the bag.

http://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/141851538701

I was abit worried as I noticed there was a made in China tag beside the creed and also one of the handle's leather was cracking so I was concerned if the pictured bag in the listing was same as the one I received.

Thanks. The bag is authentic and in this case, the peeling handle would be a quality issue rather than an authenticity one.

Here are additional photos for the creed I posted earlier:

Much thanks for authenticating!

I have a Coach whistle that I believe is real, but would like to have it authenticated since I've never seen one with the pink and orange stripe on it before. I took one photo with the pink striped one next to one with a blue stripe. Thank you!

 

[Suzanne B.]

Oops! Only one photo showed up. Here is the other one. I apologize for the size.

Don't apologize. I love big pics.

Is there also a difference in the thickness of the stripes?

I don't see anyhting that indicates that it's not authentic though I haven't seen those colors either.

The bottom stripes appear to be the same size, but the top pink stripe seems to be a tad wider than the dark blue stripe. The metal under both sets of stripes on both whistles are kind of indented.

Thank you!

 

[Hyacinth]

What color is this called?

Also is there a way to find out the year it was made? I don't think the creed from these earlier bags tell me. (Is that correct)

http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=111868115145&txnId=1468675518001

It was made between 1987 and 1990.

 

[Hyacinth]

Could someone please authenticate this bag? Thank you.

Length 7.5" approx
Height 7"
Depth 3"
Strap drop 22-24"
Serial number very faint, but visible to the eye: A6D 9981
