Interesting. Someone else just asked about a bag that looks like it's from the same seller with the reversed pics. Definitely need to see clearer, NON-reversed pictures of the sunglasses (the details on the outside of the arms and the words printed on the inner arms).

I just saw that. Looks like I missed out on the sunglasses already, but she's selling them for $35 so that seems a bit too good to be true anyways. The seller is selling through livejournal. She recently posted to a coach selling community there, which I'm sure is where the other person posting about her saw it too. I went back to the post again, and it's locked so you can't see it unless you're in the community, but here is a link to her selling journal, which has the bag and sunglasses, as well as another coach bag as well as some juicy stuff and a dior bag http://fabriic.livejournal.com/1628.html Maybe take a look at the other coach there? Still crappy pictures, but sometimes bad pictures are still good enough to spot a fake. If she's selling fakes I would like to warn people in the other community there.

I just purchased this bag at well a Goodwill store. Can someone help me authenticate it?
It looks real, zipper has YKK
Serial number is D04S-5131
This could be a real find or a real dud.
THe weird thing is
in the bag where the serial number is there is a weird
circle on the right hand of the patch .. sorta like a Target sign. :woohoo:

let me know what you think....
any help is great !

I don't see any problems. The "bullseye" stamp was used to mark a bag that had been sent to the outlets.

I have a feeling this bag is fake, but wanted to see what the experts think. The stamping looks different from what I have seen, but am not sure if that has to do with being manufactured at different times. Also, the area at the base of the turnlock is a different shape than other bags.

Here's the auction link. The bag is supposed to be black, they said for some reason it looks blue.

Fake. The shape of the leather around the turnlock isn't quite right, and Coach never used "W" as the first digit of a serial number.

The other two Coach bags she has (Signature Stripe Demi and patchwork bag) look ok.
