Hello all! I'm new to this forum, and I'm hoping some of you eagle-eyed Coach fans can help me figure out if this is authentic:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320178922868&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=011

I used the very helpful directions for the drilldown since the number is so visible in the larger pictures. I didn't get a photo of this exact purse, but another reversible Coach, the Signature Stripe Tote, came up. I'm not sure whether that's good or bad!

The seller seems new, has no sales yet and so there is no feedback. I e-mailed her to ask if this was authentic and she said it is, but as we know, you can't always go by that! I'm also suspicious because this has no bids on it with 15 hours left in the auction, and normally this style of striped tote gets tons of bids by this point.

Any help is greatly appreciated! TIA!

I have a question about the Coach creed. When the purse comes up on drilldown, is it automatically considered authentic? Or, do you have to consider the whole package? HAs anyone ever come across a purse w/the correct no.s on creed, but the purse is a fake???? Thank you for any replies!!!

it's a fake... just look at the "Carly" next to it.

Thanks for your quick reply, childstar. I thought it was a little weird that she claimed it was a gift but she set up this display with all other "Coach" handbags around it. The shininess of the bag looked strange, too -- it's not like the photo that's listed on the Coach site.

*sigh*...As the saying goes, "If it seems too good to be true...it probably is."

I received a Coach bag I purchased from Bluefly this week and took some photos because I want to verify authenticity. I know Bluefly has had some trouble with fake bags in the past (Chloe, for example.. ) but because of better security tagging the problem supposedly been corrected.

I still want to make sure. Here are some photos of my bag:

Looks okay to me, but I wish the pic of the creed was a bit clearer.

there is way more to a bag than the creed. i won a "carly" that had the right creed and almost perfect stitching and a real dustbag but the bag was 100% fake. there is the lining to consider and the feel of the fabric, and the weight of the hardware. sometime, one cannot tell until you have it in hand. wallets are always tricky to me so i do not buy them unless in store and do not try to comment on them here. hope that helps.
