If the seller has other Coach items listed on her website, please post a link so we can take a look.

And I wouldn't trust any seller who can't take their own photos especially if they're selling designer items on their website.

All her other listings were using "borrowed" pictures too. I will try to get her to take some pictures of the actual wristlet in her hand. If she's willing to do that and email me, I will post them here. Mucho gracias :D
 
Could you take a picture of the inside of the price tag, a picture of the hardware (dogleash clip), strap, a closeup of the Coach emblem on the front of the bag, and a picture of the back of the bag? Can you also post a link to the auction you won? Thanks.
I took more pictures but the card reader seemed to have problem and not respond. Well, I am not able to upload more picture until I fix the card reader . Sorry. And thanks for your help.
 
Hi everyone! Thanks again for authenticating the heritage stripe purse. Here's the matching wallet that I bought that I was requested to post more pictures of. I didnt know of a very easy way to do this, so I just uploaded them all to tinypic and will post the html links here. Does it look authentic? It even smells like a Coach store - and the little magnetized things inside were kind of reassuring too!

I don't see any problems. But wallets can be impossible to authenticate just with photos.
 
That's a tough position to be in. I'm sorry. :sad:

The bag is obviously fake to those who are familiar with Coach. Maybe your friend didn't know it was fake? I'd hate to think that she was ripped off by buying a fake. Do you know where she bought it? You could let her know (nicely) that it's a fake and then try to help her get her money back.


I really think that she knew it was fake because it was purchased at a local flea market (and we've had numerous conversations about the fakes they sell and several of the vendors have been busted). She's into fashion but not purses, so to her, they are "one in the same". She can't comprehend why someone would pay $398 for the real bag when they can hop down to XYZ flea market and pay $50 for one that looks the "same" IHO.

Her husband disappeared in the middle of the night a few years ago and never looked back. They had 3 children so I always buy her a Mother's Day gift and it's become a little tradition of sorts for us. I really do appreciate the fact that she paid attention to how much I really wanted one of those bags so I'm torn as to how to tell her how I feel about the bag. I think I'll just consider this a "thought that counts" gift and carry it when I go somewhere with her.

I have several bags, a wallet, mini skinny, wristlet, pair of shoes and a bracelet that is all real and she is constantly commenting on how she can't fathom why I "wasted that kind of money" on them. I'm sure we have all heard that from someone though. lol :nuts:
 
I saw this item for sale now on ebay. It looks like the same item I just received. I don't want anyone to be fooled into thinking it's authentic... I don't think it is. The quality is not like all the other ones I own. Hard to tell from this picture (the quality). Your official opinion re this item is appreciated. I purchased one and just received it and upon inspection I found it clearly is not a authentic item. The quality is extremely poor. I can provide pics of the item I just purchased if you like. Here's the item on ebay right now:
