Could anyone please help me to authenticate this Coach bag I exchanged with a friend? I am just not quite sure if this is an authentic Coach for some reason. Maybe because of the interior lining.

I only have some photos. Hope they will be helpful.

Cheers!:smile1:

Would you please post a better (clearer) picture of the creed? From your picture, it appears to be cream colored patent leather. Is that accurate? That isn't correct for the style.

Use the macro (flower icon) setting to get a clear straight on picture creed.

What color is the hardware?

The bag in your pictures appears to be missing 2 of the hangtags also.

Please post pictures of the front plaque (clear and straight on), pictures of the hardware on the handles, the side and bottom of the bag and the strap.

That creed patch does not look right. I am comparing it to this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/100-Authentic-C...866?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item2c5cf7f85a

Unfortunately, neither your bag nor the bag in PickyCoachLover's link is authentic. There are several wrong details on both bags, including problems with the stitching, hardware, hangtags, creeds, lining, size of rivets, zipper pulls, sealant (or lack thereof) around the handles. I'm surprised that the seller in PCL's link would have a fake, as this is the first time I've seen one from this seller. This may have been a fake that slipped through if the seller was buying for resale.

Cherry01 - I hope you can work things out with your friend. You shouldn't be stuck with a fake bag.

OMG...are you serious? It had me fooled. Wow... I see what you are talking about now. I had 2-3 pulled up to compare, but that one showed the best pics, so that is why I used it as an example.
I am truly sorry Cherry01 and everyone else.

Unfortunately, this isn't the first time stacey3bernier has had fakes. An older post (elsewhere on tPF) shows where stacey3bernier purchased fakes of various brands on iOffer using the same ID.

For a while, it appeared that she may have "learned a lesson," but evidently, the fakes continue to pop up.

Here's a post where some of her purchases and flips were discussed: http://forum.purseblog.com/ebay-forum/new-bay-rival-438716-27.html#post10376443

Ugh! Thanks for finding that. It just goes to show that just because someone is a "Top Rated Seller" doesn't necessarily mean that he/she is reputable.

The listing from seller frugal-finds7 is a horrid fake. Please report.

I feel sorry for that bidder in any case.



It sold for $102.50. I've reported it as fake but it is still listed as sold. Other TPFers please also report it to try and protect the buyer.

Looks like Ebay pulled the listing. Let's hope they did it before the buyer paid for it.
