I wasn't sure about the studded tag and the seller had in her listing, some of those signature stripe tote without the tags and even mentioned the missing tags which is why the price is cheap. The site where i saw this, its not like ebay where you bid a starting price. It's more like a shopping site actually. Here is the link:

http://www.gmarket.com.sg/challenge...odscode=200136598&sid=110&special_form=TYPE10

However, among some of the sellers selling coach bags in that site, 1 or 2 are reputable sellers & they are not from korea.


That one particular bag has a chance of being genuine, but that site really worries me. Almost all the "gallery" photos of the bags by themselves are stolen right from Coach's website - you have NO way of seeing what you'll actually receive. And a lot of those styles are very highly faked, in fact the Signature Gallery Totes # 1443 with the different color suede trims are some of the most commonly faked styles ever sold on Ebay. That style was discontinued about 3 years ago so anything you see HAS to be fake, and some of those colors aren't the ones Coach made.

I've seen almost all of the Signature styles they're selling on dozens of fakes sites - again, there's NO way I'd feel safe buying from them.
 
Hi Hyacinth,

Thank you for the response. I was wondering if something was off with the bags or not, esp since I don't see those styles around in real life - I'm glad I just took a long hard look at the pictures before posting here, due to the answers to the authenticity questions link.

The only ones I know of in that site are reputable sellers with good feedback etc, no negativity, actual photos of the bags (Have seen them around elsewhere) and that said, its illegal to sell fakes in singapore itself.

I'm new to this forum, but I've already learned something: that Ebay has a "purse board". Also, that my Coach Bag has in ID number. I've just been a happy Coach shopper and user for years, and never realized any of these facts. So, Thank You for this valuable information.:yahoo:

Please help me with antique tribeca gold question...
I bought an antique gold tribeca tote from outlet last week, but I am getting concerned about its authenticity. Ii it possible that I bought a fake from outlet? The creed inside the bag is totally unreadable, I am not sure if that is because of the shiny patent leather but I have never seen one like this before. For you ladies who own this bag is that how the creed looks like?
 
I own that same bag. I don't know the exact proper name, but was told (back in 2006) by one of the experts on the ebay purse board, that it's a "Drawstring Flap". She also dated it to the mid 1980's.

I'd be concerned about condition because of the following sentence in the description: "It could use some glue where the strap attaches on both sides of the bag, see pic." I don't know exactly what the problem is, but it looks kind of rough on the sides. I can't imagine putting glue on a bag to hold the straps on.

:smile1:

Thanks. I emailed the seller and asked for some more detailed information about the "needing glue". If you like I can update when I hear.
 
Alexis, I believe I responded that there are no red flags on this listing but a better picture of the creed would be helpful in confirming.

As for the Cs lining up, this bag is the optic pattern and the Cs don't align on the optics.

Please do NOT report!

You are totally right... I looked this bag up and found that is how its supposed to be;)

All look good but I agree that the feedback for womensworldfashion is a bit put-offish.
