There aren't enough detailed pictures to determine authenticity, so I wouldn't report. I think the way the strap hangs makes it look funny, but I don't see anything obvious to indicate that it's fake. Again, closer and clearer pictures of the details of the bag are needed. I don't see any obvious signs of fakes in her other auctions for Coach bags, but each one needs to be looked at individually and more detailed pictures are needed. Is there a particular one you see? The seller's feedback score of -1 is because she has only sold one thing in the past and got a negative for not shipping.

Thanks starry! I was curious about this one. The other julianne (black) looked a little odd making me think it was not authentic. I did not report since I was not sure.

Hi. Welcome.

Just so you know that you're not being ignored, I want to comment. I'm not familiar enough with the minute details of the bag and wallet to comment on its authenticity but I do have some concerns.

1. The seller has no history of selling authentic designer items
2. This listing is for highly faked styles and many of the fakes are fairly "good" fakes, in that you have to know thread colors, lining, fonts, etc.
3. Two of her 7 pictures are stock photos and the other 5 pix aren't clear and close enough to see the important details.

Based on her lack of history, lack of good detailed pictures and the highly counterfeited items, I don't know that I'd feel comfortable bidding/buying so close to the ending time of the listing.

Hello ladies. Can you tell me if this is authentic? Also, what style bag is this? He sent me a pic of the creed but it is really blurry. Not sure if it would help

Also, I just bought these.. I think they are both good. I've never seen them faked before. Am I ok? I did get pics of the inside also. The wave bag seems to be extremely rare. I can't seem to find examples to compare it to. Was this a limited edition?

The first one looks like style 10765 which is a signature ergo hobo. I can't tell from the single picture whether it's okay or not, though it doesn't scream fake.

The second listing has been deleted by the author.

The first one is fake. Contact that seller and let them know you will be returning the bag for a complete refund.

The second one is authentic. It's a Prarie bag from 1996. I'm not sure what you mean about the trim.

:smile1:

thank you very much..im sorry i did this wrong so many times. i contacted the seller of the first bag that i would be returning it.
and what i meanton the second bag.. is if you lift the flap, right below the hole for the clasp, the trim that goes around the whole flap of the purse over laps right there under the hole. It is the only thing that made me wonder about the purse. thank you for you help! i truly appreciate it

You're correct. The first one is definitely fake. The prefix of the serial number is invalid and the suffix (style number) is incorrect.

Hopefully the seller won't give you a hard time about a refund. And if she wants you to return it, she needs to pay the return shipping too. You shouldn't be out any money for a fake.

Wait for other opinions on the second bag.

thank you! but the listing DID say returns are at the buyers expense, then im responsiable arent it? sheesh id love not to have to pay it! but they could relist it as a replica couldnt they and be ok?

Without going into the fact that it's a seller's responsibility to verify and confirm authenticity before listing, if a seller is honorable and made an HONEST mistake in listing a fake, then that seller would make sure her buyer wouldn't be out any money. JMHO and how I'd handle this situation if I were the seller.

And no, they can't relist it as a replica. A replica is a counterfeit item (with logos, name brand markings, etc.) and is illegal whether the sellers admits to it not being authentic or not. And now that we know the seller's ID, I know many of us will be watching that seller to make sure it doesn't get relisted and if it does, it'll be reported!
