My son recently purchased this wallet for me and I'm concerned about the authenticity of the wallet. The wallet sent to me was not the same as the one pictured ("c"s are in different position and leather trim color appears lighter, wallet also has a strong smell).

Listing #180448048020
Seller: loveclaireboutique (249)
http://cgi.ebay.com/NewCOACH-KHAKI-...emQQptZUS_CSA_WH_Handbags?hash=item2a038ab394

I hope this is posted correctly. The seller has a high rating and sells a lot of wallets (I noticed one buyer in particular reselling merchandise purchased from this site on their own site) . Some of the wallets were sold fairly cheap.

The owner also has two other online sites. They are:

iamfabulousboutique.com
hollywoodfashionmall.com (click on fashion outlet, then coach outlet) click on individual coach item and it then shows the iamfabulousboutique as seller and ships from.

This owner also owns and sells the Claire Thomas (high end pet carriers) brand. This is where my wallet was shipped from.

Could this owner be selling good quality imitation Coach products which are purchased from the same manufacturer they use for their Claire Thomas products? Or are they selling authentic Coach products? Any thoughts and comments would be appreciated.

Doesn't look good in my eyes. The materials look off as well as the colors.

I wonder why she seems to purposely avoid showing the serial number.

Please wait for other opinions on this one.

(Personally, I wouldn't buy from this seller.)

Personally...I have NEVER sold not ONE Dooney Bag let alone a fake one. Where do you get your information?? And false info at that! # 2 I have NEVER sold one fake Coach bag. Please do not make false statements such as these. I made one mistake one year ago and listed a Coach that I genuinely thought to be authentic, but after further inspection, I found that it was not authentic and I PULLED the listing . It was NEVER SOLD to anyone.

Jerri, re-read my response. I didn't say you SOLD fake Coach and Dooney. I said you LISTED them. And the fact is that you DID list fakes, knowingly or not. (It was your "other" ID that listed the fake Dooney and it was reported, relisted and pulled multiple times.)

The fact also is that as a seller, your responsibility was to verify and confirm authenticity before listing any item for sale. Thus, any seller who even mistakenly lists fakes is NOT one I would do business with and that's why I commented as such.

I posted that seller's listings some time ago. They are fake and Hollywoodfashionmall is known for selling fakes.

BTW, they aren't "good" fakes.

And for the record, you comment on the placement of the C pattern varying. Even authentic wallets have different C placement, depending on how the signature jacquard fabric was cut. They will always be properly centered and aligned, but they might be slightly higher or lower on the wallet.

But loveclaireboutique sells fakes.

I have not been on this site for quite a while..I saw this Coach handbag listed on Ebay, and all the "
C's" look off where the fabric meets, but like I said, I haven't been looking at Coach handbags for a while and now getting the bug to get another one. The inside picture of serial number is blurred..I am not interested in purchasing this one, just think it may not be authentic.
