Comments:did they ever make this??!!

Yikes, that's unusual!

I don't see any red flags in the pictures, but I've never seen the actual style. It looks as though it's probably authetnic.

Hmmm...i'm still curious...I emailed the seller and asked for any information she might have. I need someone who knows older pieces because I can't say I have seen this piece in recent years. I just don't know if maybe someone just slapped a flower on there or if it was made by coach...could it be an outlet piece?


EDIT:: In the last picture of the auction...doen't it look like threads in the pictures...as if someone DID sew the flower in...or am I just seeing things?

I don't see any obvious problems but I'd like to see pictures of the inside where the style information is.

I'm not seeing any obvious problems with the box (as far as the labeling) but it's not the box for those sneakers.

Let me do a bit of digging.

Thanks BeenBurned. The box was throwing me off.

thank you BeenBurned!! You have set my mind at ease
I have now added the word "authentic" to my auction.

Hold on a sec. When Starry questioned a couple of the details, I revised my post.

But using "authentic" or not doesn't make a listing legit. If the sneakers aren't authentic, they cannot be listed or sold. You can't disclaim authenticity.

I don't know yet whether they're authentic or not yet. At first glance they looked okay but when I checked my own pictures for some Katelyn sneakers I'd sold, the pictures weren't the same style. (Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of the box.)


Please post a picture of the information that is probably under the tongue. It has style name and number.

It looks ok, though I'd like to see pictures of the inside of the wallet. The dust bag that the auction refers to is probably the outlet-style dust bag that's white with red lettering, if this was purchased from the outlet. The seller's other Coach items appear to be purchased from the outlet. It would help, though, if the seller would show pictures of the insides of the items. When you receive the wallet, you can post more pictures here.

Thank you SO MUCH! I hadn't considered that outlet items come with dustbags; this puts my mind at ease. I'll definitely keep you guys posted!

 

[MissHollywood]

That item came from the outlet so the dust bag is probably the white muslin outlet dustbag.

But regarding other dustbags, several years ago, I purchased some Coach snakeskin wallets and they did come with tan flannel dust bags. They weren't drawstring type; they were envelope-shaped and the top flap tucked in.

Thanks for looking and for the additional info! I'll be sure to remember that as I shop on eBay frequently, and there's apparently huge amounts of goods bought from outlets floating around.

Thanks BeenBurned. The box was throwing me off.

I sold some Katelyn sneakers a couple of years ago. This is what Katelyn looks like:

I didn't have a picture of the box from those sneakers but here's another style box.

Item Name :************30094]Coach Yellow Large Carly Tote Handbag #11961 [/COLOR]
Link (if available):

I'm sorry, but this bag is fake. It's a close copy, but fake. The hangtag is fake - it has the wrong font; the stitching is sloppy, the creed has the wrong font, bad stitching and bad sealant; the application of the sealant on other areas of the bag is sloppy; and I see some other red flags. Look at the third picture where it looks like the there was an extra row of stitching that was applied by mistake and then they tried to correct it. Coach wouldn't let something like this get through quality control.

If this is for sale online, please post the link. If you've already bought this, please try to get a refund asap.

Ok...the seller just replied that the flower was an addition. So if someone else is looking at that auction...beware

I will take pictures of the inside style information (would this be on the tongue?) after work and post them tonight.
I'm not too concerned about the box being the correct box for the shoes, I mainly care about the shoes of course
Thanks all for you help thus far, appreciate it!

 

[BeenBurned]

I agree that the box seems odd. THis isn't to say that the sneakers aren't authentic, but it does raise questions.

Every box picture in my files shows "Color:" on the side of the label.

Something is definitely wrong with the "katelyn" box for the "juli" sneakers.

We definitely need more pictures of the sneakers, but in any case, the seller probably should remove the box from the listing since the box (authentic or not) doesn't match the sneaker style.

May I ask why you came here to ask about authenticity after posting the listing? Did someone ASQ you and question them?

I don't understand this part b/c I have bought numerous authentic Christian Louboutin shoes were the box the shoes came in (and listed with) was a different style name and even size at times.

Oh no! i bought another bag from the same seller can u help with this as well. I can't thank you enough!

I did receive a question earlier, yes b/c I didn't have the word authentic in my listing - didn't even think of it to be honest. I mainly post on the CL authenticity thread (I'm a CL addict now ) and when I listed my auction, I already believed these shoes were authentic so I didn't even think to question them. When I received a question, I try to be an honest and reputable seller so posted here hoping you could provide insight.
