Hello, Thanks for the quick response. Trying to get some pic's posted, but I am new to this thread or, any thread for that matter and still learning my way around.....If I did it right the creed pic should be here....
From what I've gathered the m0k- indicates that it was from 2000...I just can't find any info on it anywhere. I did buy it on the 2ndary market so maybe I just got ripped....Any info would be appreciated...Thanks.

You can call Coach if you're interested in the bag and ask about the creed, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't put that part about the goat in the creed. I mean, my bags don't say "made from the finest cow" they say "made from the highest quality leather".

I agree about the goat part....too funny!! :p

Coach creeds 10+ years ago however did read "Handcrafted in the United States of completely natural glove-tanned cowhide." Poor cow. :crybaby:

Is this a real coach bag? The seller says it doesn't have a leather patch inside with the serial number. Is that true? Thanks!

do you have a pic of the bag, and not just the creed? that would help a lot! :yes:

Hello ladies

Do you think this is real?
eBay: Coach Hampton(100% Authentic Rare Tote) (item 280074167692 end time Jan-28-07 14:45:00 PST)

Sounded suspicous to me. Is it possible that coach makes an item that is not sold in the US yet? :s

There's no photo of the creed patch, there's no serial number on the price tag, the colors of the bag don't match the information on the price tag, and the bag looks like the Signature Field Bag from 2005, I think.

Coach does make some bags for the Japanese market, but why would the price tag be in English?

I'd stay as far away from this one as possible - everything about this auction is suspicious.

I asked the seller to send me a picture of the creed. This is the pic they sent:

I checked the style number in the DrillDown and it shows this pic:

and this is the seller's pic from the auction:

What do you guys think? I personally have never seen this style before...

^is that a registration card i see (looks like it has the coach addy on it)? that's the red flag to me...

and maybe it's the angle of the creed...but the in the no. part- shouldn't that look more like a degree sign, and not a small o with an underscore? does that make sense?
 
#2,171
^^Hmmm.. don't know about that registration card thingie...

I'm not good on authenticating anyway, thats why I stay away from Ebay (and I really rely on you guys!) :yes: ... just wanted to post the pic of the creed the seller sent me.

I did check my two older bags and on one creed, the little sign after the N is big like in the pic that the seller sent to me and on my other bag, the little sign after the N is smaller. I never noticed the difference... weird. :confused1: Could it be because my bags are older?

So_Femme, there are always differences in the creeds depending on which plant made the bags. I have a Hamptons Field bag from 2004 and the creed in mine is like your second photo with the D3J serial number. The creed in the auction Coach2007 asked about doesn't look right, and the letter O is too big. That and the other reasons I mentioned all say fake. And the seller out-and-out lied about it being a style that hadn't been released yet. I've seen a dozen of those for sale on Ebay over the last year.

Always look at the top line of the price tag. If the style number, hardware and color codes don't match the bag, or if there are no numbers or codes at all, the bag is almost certainly a fake. Take a good look at the price tag in this auction - half the information is missing and what's there is wrong.

^^Good to know... thats why I stay away from Ebay anyway.

I hope Coach2007 didn't bid on that bag... I agreed earlier that she should stay away from that auction. The style number on the creed didn't look right to me (the way it was stamped on).
