Today was my wifes birthday so I got her a purse - except this time I purchased it off of eBay instead of off of coach.com.

She has dozens of coaches shes what some would consider a bag connoisseur and right now she is yelling at me saying this is a fake - this is a fake!

The seller said they "Guaranteed Authentic or Full Money Refunded" I'm totally ticked off believing my wife, but I did a search and have found several sites that say they do make some bags in China ... is that true?

Did I buy a fake and should I be demanding my money back and leaving negative feedback? I really hate to mess up my feedback by getting a retaliatory negative, but if its fake the seller has it coming. Plus if its fake I will never again buy anywhere but coach.com

Thanks for any help.

Coach mainly manufactures in China now. The bag looks real to me.

Did you already receive the bag? If you have the bag, does it look exactly the same as the bag in the auction pictures? The bag in the auction pictures looks good and this seller's other items also look good. Nearly all Coach bags are made in China now. Can you post pictures of the bag, if you have the bag?

Is it just me or does this wristlet look a little funny? I can't quite decide if it is just that the pattern shifts around from bag to bag, or if this one is just off. It is the only one I have seen that has the big pink coach across the front. Many other have the partial pattern on parts of the bag, but not the entire thing. Thoughts?

This is authentic. The pattern varies from bag to bag and wristlet to wristlet.

i would be skeptical about the white stitching, i bought one on ebay that had the same white stitching, and it was fake. not many bags have contrast stitching.. also my liner was black cotton, i would pay attention to the liner as well.

There are many fake Carlys on eBay, so yes, you do need to be careful, but the one in the link you posted looks good. This is a leather slim Carly and is supposed to look like the one in the pictures. This seller's other items look good. The fake Carlys on eBay are mostly the signature ones (though leather can also be faked, but not as commonly faked as the signature).

Actually, Coach has a lot of bags with contrast stitching, you just need to know which ones are supposed to have it and which ones aren't.
