Item:12 pc Designer inspired MULTI COLOR STRIPE $444.00 OBO
Listing Number:Bonanzle
Seller: DesignerInspired

Comments: I wonder whether this has a creed or any Coach markings.

Not sure, I don't see any Coach markings, but who knows about the inside of the bag.

It doesn't inspire confidence for the seller's Coach bags that he/she mentions "wholesale purses/wholesale handbags" in the ad.
EDITED TO ADD: The Bonanzle seller is using stolen photos. (I've posted this in the Bonanzle Fakes thread.)

Purple, you are correct that the bag in question is fake, but your comment about Coach never lining signature bags with signature fabric is incorrect.

There are exceptions to every Coach "rule" and there are several bags with signature fabric both on the exterior and on the interior. (The wave bags, styles #1441 and #1439 are just 2 of several.)

Here's another example of 100% authentic bag with signature on the outside and signature lining.

Remember that the most consistent thing about Coach is its inconsistency.

Wow, I was told that by a Coach employee. Huh? Well, I really thought I was able to authenticate any Coach bag, but now I see I cannot. I can still learn.

Thank you BeenBurned

I'm glad you posted there. Tom's really good about pulling fake listings.

You're welcome.

But don't feel bad. You aren't the first nor will you be the last person who has been given misinformation by Coach employees. Although they've been known to tell ebay buyers that authentic bags are fake (because they prefer buyers purchase directly from them and not from ebay), usually the incorrect information is just a lack of knowledge on the part of employees.

Most employees haven't been around long enough to really "know" the brand and all the hundreds (thousands?) of styles of items that have been made. They've most familiar with what the stores carry at the moment.

If you hang around here or the ebay boards long enough, you'll be able to teach the employees a thing or two.

The seller has been accused of selling fake Burberry. I'm not a Burberry expert, so I can't comment on those. BB, what do you think about the seller's sold Coach items? I wonder why they're all swingpacks and all different styles of swingpacks, all packaged the same way. I wonder where the seller is getting them from?

Yeah, I think you are right. I have sold on eBay for quite sometime, and have sold hundreds of Coach bags, but Coach kind of ran me off for buying too many, so I moved on to higher end items, and have not seen some of the changes in the makings I guess, but I have learned a lot from you gals today. I certainly feel bad for making an error in my judgement, but you ladies fixed it so there was no harm done.
