It doesn't look brown on my screen. It looks either black or navy.

I have no idea if they made it in brown.

It says brown in the listing and it doesn't look brown to me either! that's what turned me off about it. Then again I figured that maybe the person's camera was having a bad day... who knows lol thanks for the input :) I think I'm going to wait it out and find something else!

(NWT COACH? Black Op Art Sabrina Satchel Bag 12947 - eBay (item 230360274209 end time Jul-26-09 11:19:19 PDT))

The bag is fake, but a very scary one because it could fool many unsuspecting bidders/buyers. If you know what to look for, you can spot the things that are wrong. The stitching all around the bag is the wrong color. The black hangtag is fake. The stitching on the inside lining is all puckered. The font on the creed is wrong and the spacing on the creed is wrong. The stitching on the creed is also the wrong color. The price tag is almost an exact copy of a real price tag down to the font, but if you compare it to a real one of this style, there are differences. This is a very scary fake!

Ugh! This "Powerseller" also has two fake 6K13 Coach wallets up. And all his/her auctions are Private. Why am I not surprised.

Hi, I am very new to this site so I hope I am doing this right. I purchased both of these bags on ebay and would like your opinions on if these are authentic or not. I am pretty comfortable that the black lurex being real. I received it and checked it over pretty well and it looks good. I am not as sure about the chocolate sabrina, only because there arent as many photos, but this seller had a lot of good reviews so I am crossing my fingers.. What do you think? Thanks,

I am NOT going to purchase these Ikat Sabrinas by any chance but again, I found them while browsing the bay. The one that concerns me is the Navy Ikat Sabrina and I only include the Gold Ikat Sabrina photo for comparison.

Based on all the photos available for the Navy Ikat Sabrina, she looks very real BUT the one thing that bugged me was that the Cs weren't lined the way they are supposed to be in the first auction photo (though I have attached the photo to this post for easy reference)!!

Although I don't own any Op Art Sabrinas, I have seen enough on tPF and Coach.com to know how the Cs are supposed to line so can somebody please check and report if it's a fake?

IF it's really a real-looking fake, then I guess the Coach price tag is either fake OR from an authentic Navy Ikat Sabrina but used for photograph purposes with the fake Sabrina. Same goes for the creed, could it have been a picture taken from an authentic Sabrina but only posted in the auction to con people into thinking the fake is an authentic piece?

IF I'm wrong, my apologies to all :p

Addendum: I found another Navy Ikat Sabrina listing (refer picture attachment #3 in this post) by a different seller and the Cs aren't lined the way they should either. So is it just me or the Cs are just lined THAT way for Navy Ikat Sabrinas? :wondering

Just to add on, some of the sellers also have their own BP mode in other forums.

a few of those sellers are actually from singapore but living in the US so it's alot easier for them to sell due to the fact it is alot cheaper buying direct from US than through the outlets in singapore. (There are several coach outlets in singapore) The taxes + shipping costs is probably the reason why the price tag is more expensive in singapore.

For eg; the sabrina (I think it is either the small or medium size) was priced at SGD800 and above at the outlets when I last saw it a couple months ago while the ones from US going for USD298 & USD358, it is about SGD430 and SGD515 if buy direct from US. I can't be too sure about the current price range for the sabrinas now at the outlets now as I haven't been checking out the outlets for quite a while already.

I think the stuff looks good. From what I've heard, it's really hard to get Coach items in Singapore and a lot of them buy in bulk from US sellers and resell in Singapore.

Yes, the Legacy Framed French Purse 40718 was made in Brown signature. Here's a listing for a real one:

NWT COACH LEGACY SIGNATURE BROWN FRN PURSE WALLET 40718 - eBay (item 170359610431 end time Aug-15-09 17:39:23 PDT)

I agree that the color of the wallet in the link you posted doesn't look brown, but it might be the lighting. I would ask the seller to send you additional pictures of the wallet in better lighting if you're still interested in bidding.

The Sig Stripe Studded Lurex Satchel is authentic. The Sabrina needs more pictures, including a picture of the creed. Please post more pictures of the bag once you receive it.

The C's don't always have to line up the same way. It depends on how the piece of fabric was cut and sewn together. If the piece of fabric used to make one bag was cut at a different point, there will be variation in the placement of the C's. All of the ones in the links you posted are fine.
