Thanks so much for taking the time to look...I paid very little for it so I might just keep it...it's still cute.

I emailed the girl and she wrote back telling me she got it as a gift and thought it was real. She seems nice. I've spent money on worse things before, I am sure!;)

No problem, there's no sense throwing away a decent purse. But if it has a Coach hangtag, it would be best to take it off.

Hi ladies! Can you tell me if this set is authentic from the pics available? It looks like the 1st pic is from Coach's website. Thank you!

There aren't enough pictures to determine authenticity.

But the inconsistencies bother me.

1. Description says "gently used" yet the purse has the tag attached.
2. Mini skinny picture has a date stamp in the corner. Bag doesn't have a date. Different cameras? Different photographers?


Are the pictures her own (aside from the stock photo)?

THT!

I agree with Hyacinth that the bag in the pictures looks good.

But I question whether the seller uses her own photos. I can't find another source for the picturess, but the Kate Spade in the completed listings is a very different photographing style. And the gown in the current and completed listings looks like stock photos. (It certainly isn't the size 15 dress that's described.)

Hi there. I just found the thread. I just bought a pre-owned Coach optic bee hobo large bag. I didn't think these were ever faked but I have suspicians. The outside is the white c's but the inside is gold with c's and I have heard if the outside is signature, the inside is solid. I wish I knew that before. Also, the inside tag is beige and in pics I have seen of this bag, it is white. I unfortunately paid cash so what's done is done...any good news for me?

As far as I know, the optic bee bags have solid color tan lining. (I'll bet your gold signature lining is silky, right?) Doesn't sound good at all.

But there's a correction to your statement that if there's signature outside, there shouldn't be signature inside. There are exceptions to that "rule," one of them being wave bags. There are others.
