Hi, I'm new here (but still a huge coach lover) and I read somewhere that leather bags are less often faked than cloth ones. Has this been anyone elses experience? I'm looking to perhaps buy off of *bay sometime but I'm not looking at anything in particular
Thanks!!

That's usually true but there are still plenty of fake leather bags, including the older "classic" Coaches from before 2000. The Signature bags are cheaper to make, but with either kind you really have to know what to look for. Please be sure to ask the posters here to look at any Coach item you're thinking of bidding on.
 
found a pair of caprice, which i know really suits my face because i have a pair in rose from coach boutique. :)

i compared all the described details to my rose pair and everything seems ok. but this seller also sells coach tissue paper? how dodgy! what's more... some of the people who bought these tissue paper from him are no longer registered!

anyone, anyone? or are my spiders freaking people out here? :confused1: starry? hyacinth? :sad:

:yes: I am neither one, but I think it looks fine. I saw these frames in green at TJ Maxx a couple of months ago on clearance for $19.99. These look just like those and I don't really see anything off.

The case and cloth aren't Coach though. The seller states that, so as long as you are aware of that and are cool with it, I think you are fine.

This isn't real is it? I was just kinda searching for optic sig bags, but the creed looks off to me...


It looks like one of the limited edition evening bags with the white dust bag. Very cute! I am not 100% because of the metal Coach hangtag. That doesn't look right to me. Maybe Hyacinth can confirm?

I'd really like to see a closer photo of the creed but other than that, I don't see any problems, the dustbag is one of the limited edition bags and Coach used metal hangtags for some of its bags. Metal would probably look much better that leather on a Lurex bag.
