Right now I don't trust ANY Sig Stripe bags on Ebay. There are just too many fakes, and even someone who thinks they know Coach can be fooled. This one looks OK, but I'd recommend paying with Paypal and/or a credit card just to be safe.

Ohh ohh this too please!!
Impossible to say with just one small photo of each bag. It would help if we could see the auction listings so we can look a the seller's Feedback and selling history.
But the seam in the black Sig bag in your second post looks a bit crooked, unless they did a bad job stuffing the bag for the photo.

Nasty cheap counterfeit.
It looks like Ebay already removed the listing.

Yup! ..I was just about ready to contact e-bay and saw it was gone. I did e-mail the seller and asked where she got it; that it had markings of a replica ..the next thing I know..It's removed! One for the good guys!:boxing:
man oh man i hope this is real.. no one answered mein time, and i had bidded on it.. and won.
edit: thanks Hyacinth, I guess we posted near the same time but I didnt type fast enough, how are these pictures for ya?? Thanks.
I don't own that bag so I'm not familiar with how the creed should look. The Coach stamp on the front leather trim looks good and that's something the counterfeiters usually mess up, so it's probably genuine.
It's still good to post a listing to the auction though. You can learn a LOT by looking at a seller's other listings and Feedback - like if they mix real and fake, if they steal their photos from other sellers, if they sell fake wallets or keychains, if they've received what I call "false Positives" from buyers who bought fakes but left a Positive so the seller would give them a quick refund, etc.

I have the black one! Looks real to me. How much did you pay for it.
it says its gentaly used, and said this, "I would like to add that I just ordered a brand new shoulder strap from Coach for this bag. The strap attached has sever loose stitches and is starting to come apart and I do not want to sell it that way. I was told it will be to me in one week. I will not mail the bag to you until the strap arrives, please make a note of it and I am sorry! If you have any questions, please contact me!" and i won it at 152. She's sold a lot of Coach and has great feedback. I wrote her once, she wrote me 3 times and told me that she actually bought this from someone else, but she has every reason to believe its a real. (WTF?) But if I am unhappy with the bag, or if I take it in and it's not real I can return it.
I've just checked the drilldown pictures for the swingpack and the signature stripe demi, and yes, they are both AUTHENTIC. And I'm absolutely positive that keyfob is also authentic. How does one check the drilldown for keyfobs/charms, anyway?
By the way, the signature stripe demi is so cute. Never seen that before.

I agree with Hyacinth. Just be aware that there are many fakes of this bag on eBay right now, and some of them look incredibly real, including the inside and creed. The sig stripe items are at the outlet right now, so if you have an outlet nearby, you may want to go see if they have any of the denim ones. I think someone on here (forgot who it was) found a denim one at her outlet. It was the only one and I think it was about 20% off retail, or something like that. Since the search feature is down, I can't find the thread.
thanks in advance
The signature stripe bag and the swingpack look good. The keyfob also looks ok to me, but wait for Hyacinth to confirm.
Just because an item matches the drilldown picture is not confirmation that it is authentic. There's more to authenticating than just matching the DD pics. Some authentic items may differ slightly from the DD, so the DD shouldn't be used as a definitive measure of authenticity. Yes, the DD is helpful, but there are many other things to look at as well.

I'm uneasy with the fact that the damage to the bag was not disclosed in the auction and that she said that "she actually bought this from someone else, but she has every reason to believe it's real." Could you post a link to the auction? Could you also ask for a clear, closeup picture of the creed?

she edited this later as u can see and mentioned the strap thing. ill write asking for a close up of the creed. at least if its a fake, she says i can return it right??
This is authentic. It's from the outlet.- Status
