I just received my first ever coach bag I bought off of eBay, however I'm worried about the creed number of KO868-12947.... Does that creed number sound ok? It's am melon Sabrina.

That style number is correct for a Sabrina, but unfortunately you can't tell authenticity of a bag just from the numbers on the creed patch. Please post pictures of your bag including the creed patch, bottom, close up of the hangtags, and front and back of the bag, and any other pictures would help too. = ) Also, if you could, please post the link to the Ebay auction. Thanks! = )

Is this a fake? Price seems awfully low for and that isn't an op art print??

Thanks, I'm new to this... :)

PS- I would love a purple sabrina..that is why I ask!

I am not comfortable with the seller.

1. I'm not sure her pictures are her own. There are watermarks on the two listings but they aren't the seller's ID. And the seller's completed listings don't have the same picture-taking style or backgrounds

2. Seller has a recent neg for refusing to complete transaction when item didn't sell for enough money. IMO, sellers either have to break down and pay for the reserve or sell for the high bid price.

The pictures in this auction show a fake Sabrina. The font on the hangtags is wrong, the creed is wrong, the lining is wrong, the brass rivet on the zipper pull is wrong.

The seller also has this other fake Sabrina up.

There's no way we can authenticate your bag without seeing pictures of your Sabrina. Many fakes use the correct style numbers, so just having a correct number doesn't automatically mean it's real.

Please post clear, detailed pictures of your bag including pictures of the front, sides, back, bottom, and inside, and a clear, readable picture of the creed, closeup pictures of the hangtags, and the Coach logo plaque on the front of the bag, and pictures of the brass rivets on the base of the handles.

It would also help to provide a link to the auction so that we can check out the seller.

Starry beat me to the punch.

I was coming back to post that the listings were fake.

I googled BK12947 and found those fakes on several fake websites:

With the exception of one seller, many of these sellers in the links you posted don't have a history of selling Coach and some of them don't provide enough pictures in the auctions. I would be more comfortable buying from a seller with an established history of selling Coach and/or a seller who shows many detailed pictures. Seeing as many pictures as possible is especially important in auctions for highly faked items like Sabrinas.

#1 - Seller doesn't have a history of selling Coach. All his other auctions are for dollar bills. In this auction for the Sabrina, four of the pictures are from the same angle and show the same side of the bag. He could have replaced three of the pictures with pictures of the other sides of the bag, like the back, bottom, sides.

#2 - I'm not comfortable with a new seller with little feedback who shows a blurry picture of the creed.

#3 - Looks good.

#4 - Again, a brand new seller with very little feedback who only shows one picture in their auctions. I can't recommend a seller who has sold a bag using only the Coach stock picture.

Thanks for finding where the pictures came from, BB. These are typical pictures used to sell fakes. I've seen the same pictures in other auctions.
