I noticed that on the creed too. This particular bag is an older bag and some of the older bags do have an O that's slightly larger on the creed and the spacing of the numbers may look different. The stitching does look a bit wonky on this creed, but I can't tell if it's just the way the creed was bent when the picture was taken that may have made it appear that way. I'd be interested in hearing what Hyacinth thinks, as she knows a lot about the older bags.

On a different note...are the BullsEyes on the outlet bags always in the same place?

Thanks

Most sellers don't know it but selling things like dustbags, boxes, tissue paper, etc, is against Ebay's rules, because fakes sellers buy that stuff to make their items seem genuine. It's called "Encouraging Copyright Infringement".

Oh really? Thanks for letting me know! I just wanted to get a couple because I bought 2 purses which didnt come with dust bags for some reason. :/

#1 - looks ok so far, but ask for a closeup picture of the creed

#2 - looks good

#3 - looks ok to me. BTW, I'm curious what were the "red flags" you noticed on this, Glamourous_girl?

#4 - agree with Glamourous_girl and Hyacinth. Although the mini skinny may be real, I wouldn't buy from a seller who is selling even one fake item in their other auctions.

#5 - looks ok, but ask for a picture of the creed. You may also want to check out this comment on this seller:

#6 - this looks fine to me. The box in the background is an outlet box (with red border and red lettering). The lighting makes it appear brown, but it's not.

On #3-The hangtag doesnt have a grommet and also the O in the No on the creed is too big. Unless this bag is one of the exceptions?

Starrymaz ...About your question regarding #3......Would it be the Creed? I'm no expert so please forgive me if I'm wrong. But I have trying to learn as much as I can lately and I have been reading everything I can in the past 2 weeks.

I read somewhere that in the number abbreviation on the creed ... "N0" ..... that the line under the 0 ... "0" ... should not come farther down than the middle of the "N" ... not at the bottom of the "N". I don't know if this is true but it is certainly the case in #3. (see attached) Also there is a large gap after the first set of numbers and the dash and the stitching at the top of the creed looks to be double stitched. I don't know if any of this means anything but maybe this is what she saw???
I'm just guessing :confused1:

this is exactly one of the things I saw. also this bag's hangtag doesn't have a grommet. I think the leather hangtags are supposed to unless this is an exception

Oh...I was wondering if that might be the case but I would rather be safe that sorry. Also is the C2J Correct? Unless it was made in 92 shuldnt it say 02? or not?

I noticed the missing grommet on the hangtag too. But I went to 2 of my older Coaches (K2P-9980 and EOP-9525) and neither one of them had hang tags with grommets. The 0 were smaller however, but that is only 2 purses...certainly not a representative sample of the entire older Coach line.

HI,
Here is the picture of the creed. I think the wallet is fake because I compared it to the one on COACH website and they are not the same. The purse looks okay but what do you guys think of the creed? Anyway, I am canceling this transaction. But pls let me know if the creed is alright. Thanks so much.

I hope I don't get in trouble for posting this the 3rd time. I still haven't got a definite answer. The Seller is getting upset at me now (I should have asked prior to bidding, I know...my fault really) because I won them yesterday and have not paid yet and asking questions. Thanks again.

Thank you for the help, I really appreciate you guys. She is a new seller with only 19 feedback, all positive but they were from buying. She only had the first picture on the auction and she took the other two for me at my request and sent them over email. That is why I did not include the auction, in it. I feel pretty confident that she is not trying to pull anything on me.
