Hi,
I have a local person at my work that wants $140 for this bag. Any opinions? Good deal or no?

Is this for real? I've occasionally seen this pop up on the bay but never verified whether it was authentic or not. The thing that got my nerves gangling on this particular auction was how the seller put quotation marks around the word Coach in her auction text (but that might just be my inner grammar police speaking).

See:
http://cgi.ebay.com/AUTHENTIC-COACH...in_0?hash=item4ceae97744&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

It's not the kind of thing a counterfeiter's going to waste time, money and energy making when they can sell fake purses instead, is it? ;)

And a lot of "educated" sellers don't have a clue about what "" around a word or phrase can imply and if they did, I doubt if they'd use them even as an inside joke.
 

All of the first seller's Coach items are fake.

Seller: luvxjuicy
http://shop.ebay.com/luvxjuicy/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=

All of this seller's Sabrinas and Juliannes have the wrong color stitching, wrong font and look of the creeds, fake hangtags, wrong rivets - just to name some of the incorrect details. Please report!

The Parker Hippie from the second seller looks fine.

For future authentication requests, please use the format in Post #1 so it will make it easier to see if an item or seller has been asked about.

...You've never steered me wrong yet.

I own a new/resale shop and a consignment client brought this in. I've never seen this style before and it feels very cheap to me. I've also never seen the metal "COACH New York" plate on the exterior. #D8I-6214. Your input please!

This is an older style. Please wait for those who are familiar with older Coach to respond.

It's called a Neo East-West Zip from 1998 and it's made of Neoprene, the same material as wetsuits.

I'm sorry the bag is fake. The font on the Coach logo, hangtag, and creed is wrong, cheap-looking lining, wrong hardware, the serial number is wrong. Style #5659 is a number commonly found on fakes. The actual bag that is style #5659 is the Scribble Mini Tote and should look like the picture I've attached. I would go back to where you bought this and ask for your money back and if the seller refuses, tell her that selling fakes is illegal. Good luck!
