Hi. I have one tote and one satchel that I would like authenticated. I bought them, received them today and now I am pretty sure they are not real. I don't know how to make a link for photos so I'll have to just post them here. Sorry for taking up so much space.

Tote:

The reasons I am thinking this is fake is as follows:

1. While the creed wording is spot on (I have a real Coach I bought from Macy's to compare to) and the C's all line up on the inside the line about "THE FINEST MATERIALS TRIMMED" looks like this instead "THEFINESTMATERIALSTRIMMED" and the item # is not a bigger font. The item # is CO4U-1202.

2. Since I bought this and started doing research on it (which is what brought me to this site) I have not been able to find any tote's that don't have the C's all over the outside. It is a possibility that this is an older version since I was only able to look at what is currently on the Coach website now.

Please let me know what you think- even though I think I already know the answer.

I am putting the satchel info in another post.

Okay- so now for the satchel. Honestly- if this is fake I will say that the craftsmanship is actually really good. I am posting more pictures of this one. The thing that bothers me the most about this is that there is no creed at all. I thought they all had one?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide me. Now that I know what to look for and where to go for assistance I'll know to check things out beforehand!

The weird orange color showing up on the fourth picture down is just the picture and does not look like that on the bag- but the weird water-mark color on the 6th picture does look like that in person.

If this is fake I will say I am slightly impressed with the very straight stitching and the "Coach" zipper pulls, etc. Let me know what you guys think!

Style #1202 belongs to a Sketch Pad refill, not a purse.

Contact the seller IMMEDIATELY and demand a full refund including all shipping charges. I hope you paid through Paypal with a major credit card.

Your photos still aren't showing. Can you just post the auction numbers?

If the satchel is bigger than about 8x5, it has to have a creed. Please post the auction number.

I know it looks good, but it was on my CL for $110 and she sent me a link to the auction. She said she would give it to me for $110. I asked why so cheap and she said it was a mothers day gift she didnt want. It also has a gift receipt, and then she said she is in florida, but the auction is in DC. I asked her why two different locations and she said she has two different warehouses??? I also emailed the *bay seller from another email account of mine, so I guess Ill see if it is legit...but this just sounds too good to be true!

Here is the CL link:
http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/clo/721141409.html

she emailed me and said 100% authentic...it just seems too good to be true!

Are the bags on CL and on Ebay supposd to be the same, or sold by the same seller? The photos are of 2 different bags and her story has more holes than a wheel of Swiss cheese, and something about the one on Ebay just doesn't look right.
