Hi everybody.....I hope I am posting at the right place. I am not interested in buying this bag no no ....I am posting for educational puposes because we are all trying to learn how to know the genuine coach from the fakes.
I found this bag on ebay today. (I found another one also--that something is bothering me about it....blurry pic so I knew to RUN from that seller). This seller has clear pics but ONE thing is bothering me. It says the bag was manufactured in the United States.....(I know that Coach at one time DID manufacture here in the US of A then later moved to China. At least this is what I know from a friend of mine who buys hers from the Coach outlet store.)
Can somebody PLEASE authenicate this? I also am not fully understanding how to know when a serial numnber is genuine or fake?

I know it's short notice, but I would really appreciate any heads up.
I hope that I can return a favor someday!!!!

Looks good to me. A clearer picture of the creed would be nice though.

Hello everyone! Please take a look when you have time. This seller has sold some other Coach bags, and has a few active listings. I have no idea on the bags that appear to be 'older'. Thanks a bunch!
I haven't either. Maybe it's a replacement?
That extra piece or strap the seller mentions that's in the last photo may just be a loop to hold the buckle tab so you don't have to wrestle with that buckle every time you close the bag. That closing was pretty annoying for some users, so you could probably just keep the tab threaded through that "inside" holder if you didn't mind the front flap not being buckled down. Having to buckle and unbuckle that flap every time you needed something out of the bag could get aggravating after a while.
I've never owned a bag with that closure but I've seen others mention it.

It's authentic and I "think" it's similar to the one on the right in my picture. The measurements are slightly different so maybe it's a smaller version of the same bag.
It does have an odd looking inside zipper pull though. I've never seen one quite like it.

DemRam's better on the 70s and 80s bags than I'll ever be. Anything earlier than 1990 usually has me
The third and fourh wallets, the 6k10 Hamptons and the Khaki Optic, were both fake. They seem to have vanished.
Hey just saw these beauties on bonanzle. I'm a 100% sure they are fake, but still want to verify before I report.

It looks ok, BUT I would ask for a clear, closeup picture of the creed. It looks like the seller's Coach bags are store display bags. This fact isn't mentioned in the auctions, so I would ask about any marks or signs of use. This particular bag looks like it was previously returned from a buyer who left negative feedback, and the seller has relisted.
