Wallets are usually hard to authenticate without seeing and feeling them in person. This particular wallet (and all the other ones being sold by this seller) is actually one of the more obvious fakes. The construction and quality of the materials looks cheap. Wallets are some of the most commonly faked Coach items and there are certain styles of Coach wallets that are very frequently faked. Some red flags that should immediately make you suspicious when looking at a seller is if the seller is fairly new and doesn't have a lot of feedback and has an "endless supply" of wallets for sale (or has sold exclusively wallets in the past).

Here is some great advice by Hyacinth about wallets:

BTW, you should also check out the rest of the Answers to Authenticity thread. There's some great info in there. Thanks Hyacinth for writing much of it up!

Thank you so much! I knew something looked odd about it. Beware - this obsession has taken hold and I'll probably be posting more of these. As a matter of fact...is this real?

I would never buy anything that's as commonly faked as wallets from a brand-new seller with only one picture - which they probably didn't even take. it looks like the pics on the Chinese fakes websites. Buy ONLY from an established seller who's recommended by other posters!

i've never seen it before, does coach make something like this...and why does it have carly's #? it's kinda cute though, if it was authentic i'd get it.

It has a Carly number because it's a cheap fake. The fabric pattern isn't even centered correctly, the serial number is bogus and the creed patch looks like it was sewn in by a six-year-old.

Did you read the seller's Feedback page?

I know! Im surprised..Ebay usually takes several days (or nothing at all) in removing fake crap. Guess ill keep looking. Thank you though :heart::heart:

If they were all from the same crooked seller, that made it easier.

"sigh..that was a disappointment LOL thank you though"
I know, but better to be disappointed than cheated. :hugs:

We've said it dozens of times before, but it bears repeating - never never NEVER trust a seller who has an unending supply of Coach wallets and sells them for a third or a fourth of retail

Wow, that was fast! Ebay must have passed out free cans of Red Bull this morning.

How about these? They're 2 separate listing from the same seller. Seller posted only 1 photo of each. I've included the Seller's feedback rating as well.
