OOOOOOOOOO, one of the infamous 5-digit Korean fakes!!!!!
It's a VERY bad ripoff of one of the original Bleecker totes from around 1998-2000. The HUMUNGOUS Coach stamp on the front is one warning sign (usually they're off-center too), the hangtag's much too big for the bag, the "leather" looks like plastic to me too, there's a huge gap between the words "markings" and "characteristic" on the second-from-last line where there shouldn't be, and if you look closely, the serial # only has five digits - and that's one RULE that's never broken, btw, Coaches will NEVER have just 5 digits. There's no "No" in front of the number, and the creed says made in Korea. And that's the second rule that's never broken - no matter what some CS rep for Coach might tell you over the phone, Coach has NEVER made bags in Korea. Never.
Anything with a serial number that looks like xxx-xx is fake.
And don't worry, Glamourous_Girl, it's been reported.

Your knowledge is AWESOME! Thanks so much!
Thank you for the link, so much faster that way.. I posted it there too.
Hi,
I really want a Legacy Planner and I have not seen much posted about fake planners. Can someone please render an opinion on this one? Sorry to post this question again, but my first one got lost a few pages back and I have one hour left on the auction. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230248927481&fromMakeTrack=true
Thanks
Phyl

I've attached a picture of a creed from a bag I know to be authentic (on the right). The one in the auction scheron77 posted (on the left) looks ok, but I'm hesitant to say for certain that the bag is authentic for the very fact that the seller has sold other fake items before. This makes the seller less trustworthy and their items more suspect, so I would say you did the right thing in cancelling, scheron77. I hope you won't have any problems getting a refund.

THANKS!!! I think/hope I can clean it up. I can't find a black one in the outlets...just camel.
You're welcome! It actually doesn't look too bad, but the seller does mention "minor surface scratches." I think because it's black, they wouldn't be too noticeable.
I got out bid
But I didn't want to pay alot more than outlet price for a used one. I'll just have to keep looking ...I got out bid
Aww, too bad. These turn up occasionally on eBay, so you'll probably be able to find another one!
Thanks Hyacinth! No, I did not pay yet and she is aware that I am not paying. She is ok with it so I didn't lose money. Thanks so much for your help!
I did not know that she is selling other fake bags! She was really upset when I told her the wallet is fake because she said she did not know!

Can anyone tell me if this is real? She was offering a wallet with it so it made me a little weary. I know its already finished but I would still like to know.
Thanks everyone

Please don't bid on any items from this seller, eye-fashion-express. All of her items are fake. This seller specializes in what is known as "7 star fakes" - items that look deceptively real and have fooled many people. There was a "controversy" with this seller some time ago - someone on here bought a fake bag from her and when she received it, was sure it was fake; many on the forum were convinced from the pictures that it was real (because it's so hard to tell from the pictures). I think the buyer was able to get her money back, though. This seller is an example of how 100% positive feedback can sometimes be very deceptive!Please keep in mind this valuable advice from Hyacinth:
REMEMBER THE "RULES TO BID BY"
Sellers can LIE.
Photos can be STOLEN.
Feedback can be FAKED.
If something looks too good to be true - IT IS.
