Are the ones marked with an X or marked in some other way flawed? I thought I heard one time that the ones with those marks didn't pass the 'perfect' test at Coach and that is why you can buy them cheeper at places like TJ Maxx. I have one from there with the X and for the life of me, I can't find a single thing wrong with it. I'm certainly satisfied even if there is a supposed flaw. :okay:

No, the X bags are just ones that didn't sell for whatever reason.

Well, it was one that had a bee on it (of course!) so I guess not everyone was interested in that!

Thank you, though, for letting me know the truth about the X.
 
Here are the serial numbers on 3 bags:

B0873-11349
G0826-F12889
H0849-F12253

I also attached 3 more pictures

and more pictures of my bags are on page 405....Thank you you guys so much....I need to get these authenticated quick.....I only have 2 days.....Thanks in million !!!!!

I think they all look ok but other opinions would help, especially with the Heritage Stripe Tote 11349. I don't really know those styles at all.
 

All of them look ok to me too. When you say "the dust bag is a different material", do you mean that it's the satiny brown dust bag instead of the cottony brown kind? Coach now uses the satiny dust bags.

Do you already have an Ebay Search for COACH BEE saved, so that they'll email you when new listings come up? There are some other cute bee keychains and bags you might like

(Watch out for fakes, the real ones have bigger eyes, more stitches and are patent leather)

Wow! Thanks! :smile1: Would you say this one is real? It certainly looks like the drilldown on the front, but I know this keychain is copied alot. http://cgi.ebay.com/COACH-5764-Bumb...ZUS_CSA_MWA_Keychains?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116
 
Thanks for the info girls! I don't know if anyone ever shops Craigslist, but there are a lot of people claiming to have AUTHENTIC Coach bags on there. It's hard to know because we have Coach stores around as well as Nordstroms etc...
too bad people (like me!) don't always know the difference.
:confused1:
