It's fake. The hangtag, font, enameling, jewels are wrong. If this is being sold online, please post the link so it can be reported.
If you already bought this, please try to get your money back.
The color is Cinnamon. The color in the first two pictures are off because of the flash. The last picture shows the color more accurately than the first two pics.
I think that these bags are being made exclusively for TJ Maxx/Marshall's, like how the MFF bags are made for the outlets.
Here is a thread that discusses this.

i would like to know if someone can authenticate this Coach purse for me. the woman selling it on Craigslist said it was just over 1 year ol. i have no idea what the name of this bag is. also, can the strap double over so that you can make it shorter in length? thanks!here are pictures of the purse that the seller sent me.....
I don't see any problems, but please ask the seller for a clear, closeup picture of the creed before you buy.
Both are fake. The second seller also has this other fake:

Btw, Coach experts, what are the disadvantages of MFF (Made For Factory) bags? Are they perceived as lower value or less desired?
Thanks in advance!
#1 - Looks ok, but could use a picture of the creed.
#2 - Would like to see a better picture of the creed. I'm not a fan of those collage-type pictures.
#3 & 4 - look good.
As for MFF bags, it's a personal preference. Personally, I prefer the boutique versions. If buying from the outlet, I'll generally go for the FP deletes/transfers. Some of the MFF accessories are cute, though.

If these are listings from an online auction or website, please post the auction links and information as set out in Post Number 1 in this thread. Thanks!
Thanks for finding those, Starry!
Just a reminder for everyone - if someone's asking about or referring to a previous post, please either ask the question using the Quote button in the original post, or post the URL for the original posted question so we can find the post you're asking about.
I'm not familiar with the red bag but it looks like a Pouch of some kind. The creed seems to be genuine.
The creed and details on the Willis also look ok.

NOT ONLY DID THE SELLER NOT REMOVE IT PROMPTLY, SHE RELISTED IT LEAVING OUT THE NAME COACH AND THE PHOTOS OF THE FAKE CREED PATCH:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370335807020&_trksid=p2759.l1259
And here's the original listing:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sop=1&_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_fvi=1&item=370333860581
Those who can send detailed reports to T&S, please do so giving both listing numbers. And here are the posts where both Starry and I confirmed it was fake:
http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/authenticate-this-coach-535153-191.html#post14234947
and
http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/authenticate-this-coach-535153-189.html#post14228263
The seller claims here:
http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/authenticate-this-coach-535153-189.html#post14228680
that she's a long-time seller and has done her homework but apparently she missed the part about selling fakes:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/replica-counterfeit.html
"Policy overview
Items that bear a company's official brand name or logo can be listed as long as the products were made or officially endorsed by that company.
For a safer buying and selling experience on eBay, we don't allow listings for counterfeit items, fakes, replicas, or unauthorized copies. Unauthorized copies include things that are backed-up, bootlegged, duplicated, or pirated—which are all illegal. These kinds of things may infringe on someone's copyright or trademark...
NOT ALLOWED:
Counterfeits, fakes, or replicas of brand name items like:
Handbags (for example, a purse bearing the Chanel® name or logo that wasn't made by Chanel)"
REMOVING THE COUNTERFEITED BRAND NAME AND THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE RED FLAGS DOES NOT MAKE THE ITEM LEGAL. And for a seller to do so is not only dishonest but against Ebay rules.
That's the problem with giving too many details about what makes an item fake. A seller who doesn't read, understand or care about the rules will just try and find a way to get around them.
CLOTHESHORSEGAL, FAKE IS FAKE. AND FAKES CAN'T BE SOLD ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE IN THE US. THAT'S FEDERAL LAW.
