Item: Authentic Coach Signature purse beige patent leather
Listing number: 330412477746
Seller: Beauwolf82

Hi! My question is really about one of the comments that the seller made in their description. They had mentioned that this handbag was purchased at an Outlet, and that the Stock Number was written on the inside pocket in black pen. I'm not sure if this is customary with Outlet items. Please advise.

Thanks :)

I've never seen it done at any of the Coach outlets. Whether or not authorized Coach sellers like Nordies or Macy's do that with items they send to their off-price stores is something I can't answer.

I've never seen this actual style bag so please wait for other opinions.

I don't see any problems with that. Just post measurements and clear pics like you posted here, especially of the creed patches.

Crikey. I wish the seller would read her camera's instruction manual on how to use the Macro setting.

Honestly, I still can't say either way. It's hard to believe that something like that would be counterfeited, but the metal clip and the hangtag just don't make sense. I can't even tell if the hangtag is leather or not, and Coach almost never uses leather hangtags on keychains or purse charms. It's possible that this was originally a keychain and the owner swapped the keyring for an aftermarket clip though, and maybe even added the hangtag.

My suggestion would be to ask the seller if she's the original buyer and if the clip was added somewhere along the line. And when you pay, please use Paypal funded by a credit card in case you have to dispute the charge.

Thank you. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post. Couldn't find instructions for a "new post."

Next time just go to Page 1, post #1 in this thread for instructions on how to format a question.

The bag looks fine. It's a Sonoma Small Bucket Zip from 1996. The FS stamped on the creed means Final Sale - it was sold originally at a reduced price and the FS was stamped by Coach so that it couldn't be returned to Coach for a refund.

The bag looks okay but I've NEVER seen an OUTLET bag with writing inside.

I suspect that the seller got it either at Neihman's Last chance or Nordstrom Rack. (One of the 2 writes inside the bags.)

Please clarify with the seller if it's possible that the bag came from another discount retailer.

Hi, pls help me authenticate
Item: Coach Kristin Clutch Style #14213
Seller: tennislook
Link: http://item.taobao.com/auction/item_detail-0db1-917bff3fc0a912539201551e8aa5cf9c.htm
Comments : It's in purple and I looked into coach.com and couldn't find it. But the seller confirmed that it is authentic but with some minor scratches behind the clutch.

Thanks

Not all colors are shown on the website because sometimes Coach makes a color exclusively for a department store. Or sometimes that color might no longer be available from Coach so they don't show it.

But that said, I don't feel comfortable about the listing you've shown for a couple of reasons.

1. The gallery photo is a stock photo
2. The picture of the inside of the purse is a different color item; clearly not the item that the seller is selling so she's using a stolen picture
3. There aren't enough pictures showing details
4. There's only one picture showing the front (presumably of the actual item) and another showing a couple of scratches
