Love the posts & the board.
This is my FIRST couture bag - even if it is a fake! :yahoo:
Item: Coach Signature Leah Tote in Light Khaki
Listing number: N/A
Seller: N/A
Link: N/A
Comments:Received as a Christmas Present but I am not sure of it's originality. It has the leather tag sewn to the inside that reads:
"This is a coach bag. it was handcrafted in china from the finest materials trimmed with genuine leather. it's superior craftsmanship and attention to detail reflect our commitment to enduring quality. No A24-13139"

The question is the pictures I have found on the internet of this purse show a purple satin interior. This bag has the classic Coach symbols in square format instead on the lining. Metal raised coach tag is attached like should be, not a stamped tag like I read earlier.

Love the bag anyhow, but wanted to know!
Thanks a heap!!

The listing you posted is not the item that you are describing.

It would be helpful if you'd post pictures of the bag you received. Please take pix of the front, back, inside lining and creed.

It doesn't sound good if the serial number is as you've described but I want to see pictures to be sure.

The pictures aren't that great so it's hard to tell, but nothing screams fake in either listing.

If you can get more pictures and post them, it would be helpful.

Item Name: Coach Clover Signature Sateen Duffle, Style #13884

Comments: I just received this from an auction I won, which was authenticated here before I bid on it. Everything looks fine except for the symmetry of the Cs at one side; it doesn't quit match up. The picture of this side was not shown in the auction.

Side 1 with symmetrical Cs:

Side 2 with slightly asymmetrical Cs:
CloverDuffleSide2.jpg


Front with symmetrical Cs at the seam in the middle:

Is it alright for the Cs on the side to be asymmetrical like the 2nd picture? My local Coach stores still have this style on display so I'm planning to drop by and check the displays for their symmetry, but I can't spare the time till maybe the end of next week. In the meantime, any help from the experts here would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

It looks fine. Sometimes the side seams don't line up perfectly.

Thank you for the quick reply, No lost money I was going to list it on eBay for consignment. Can you tell me how you instantly know that I am in "self taught" authentication training.

Ooh, this was an easy one - once you know what to look for.

1. It isn't a Coach style.
2. The pattern isn't properly centered
3. The creed has run-on words (Notice "thefinestmaterials," "superiorcraftsmanshipand" and "ourcommitment."
4. Misspelled word(s) on creed (Notice "detal" instead of "detail.")
5. Serial number doesn't match the style of bag. I'm not sure if 41412 is even a valid style number for any bag, but if so, it would be a very small item; certainly not a full-sized bag like this one.

These certainly aren't all the problems with the bag, but it's unquestionably fake.

I think joesbaby copied the format from a previous post and, for some reason, the previous post's links copied over.

I agree with BeenBurned. Joesbaby - the bag you describe doesn't sound good, but please post pics.

It's fine. The C's don't always line up at the seams.
