The stitching looks really good. The inside does not have the "C's" I can't take a picture of the inside stitched seal, because it won't show up with my camera. Here's what it says,

"This is a coach bag. It was handcrafted in China from the finest materials trimmed with with genuine leather. It's superior craftsmanship and attention to detail reflect our commitment to ensuring quality." (It's in all CAPS)

Thank for your thoughts

VERY fake - the pattern and colors aren't right, and the blue Scarf Print bags NEVER had pink handles.

I hope you can get your money back.

1- I'd ask the seller why 3 of her last sales ended in Negatives for non-receipt and no contact. If the seller was ill or had a family emergency, she could have explained it to her buyers and responded to the Negatives, but she didn't. Not someone I'd buy from.

2- probably ok

3- stains on suede are almost impossible to remove. Maybe there's one available in better condition? This one's probably ok but the pics arent very good

4- not enough pics but there are too many fakes of this style wallet on Ebay to take a chance

5- looks ok

We've talked about creeds many times before.

I copied these from an Ebay Forum:

"Not all Coach "accessories" like Swingpacks, wristlets and Pouches will have creed patches or serial numbers !!!

Some will have the full inside patch including a serial number, some will have a patch with just the creed statement and NO number, and some will have NOTHING AT ALL inside. There are absolutely NO "rules" about which have what, it's completely at Coach's whim. Not having a creed patch DOES NOT MEAN THE ITEM IS FAKE! And sometimes an item that had a patch when it was sold in the full-price stores may be re-made for the outlets without a patch..."

and this:

"Regarding the question about creeds, Coach is inconsistent (understatement of the year) so there are no hard and fast rules.

But here are some general statements:
Some swingpacks have creeds with serial numbers
Some swingpacks have creeds without serial numbers
Some swingpacks have NO creeds at all
Some pouches have creeds with serial numbers
Some pouches have creeds without serial numbers
Some pouches have don't have creeds
Most wristlets don't have creeds, though some might have them, with or without serial numbers

I'm sure that's about as clear as mud! But they're determined to keep us guessing."

I hope that explains it. And instead of asking your seller for the possibly nonexistant creed photo, ask for a pic of the inside of the price tag.

I'm wondering about one of the seller's other listings, something about the Lurex Mini Skinny bothers me... besides the fact that this is a new seller.
