Maybe it would be helpful for you to make it OBVIOUS that only the "experts" are allowed to post. Two cents withdrawn.

People come here for EXPERT opinions on authenticity, not guesses, gut reactions or someone else's opinion that has no factual basis to back it up. If someone just wants guesses about whether or not their Coach is real, there are plenty of other forums where they can ask.

Sorry if I ruffled your feathers, but if you want to help you need to spend all the time you can LEARNING about Coach. And that includes older bags - Ebay is full of them. Blind guesswork isn't what's needed here. And saying something must be fake can lead to a GENUINE bag being reported to Ebay.
