Please don't report #3 above from stephleeann1. There should be a closeup picture of the creed, but I don't think this bag is fake. It's style 13025. I've attached Coach's picture of this style below. This style has zip pockets on both the front and back interior walls.
BTW, the link to the listing was incorrect, the correct link is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320718998746&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123




#1 - More pictures are needed. Please wait for more opinions on the wallet, but I just wanted to comment that sometimes for checkbook wallets, the Coach imprint is on the inside of the checkbook part.

#2 - There should be a closeup picture of the creed, but it looks ok. Same style 13025 as above.

#3 - The "Tattersall Sabrina" is fake.

Thank you. Do you know if Coach did that double zipper pocket on any other styles?

I'm just going to stick with older styles from now on - but the creed in #2 looks like the patch is actually cut crooked, and the description, serial prefix and suffix are totally illegible and it's not a problem with camera focus. I can't even guess what the description is supposed to be.

ETA - Looks like they copied the description from the original style 11786 "handcrafted in China from milled pure vegetable tanned Vachetta". Can Vachetta be black?

Sorry, I agree that it's fake. There are a lot of problems with that bag.

I also agree that it shouldn't have been reported without checking here first.



That seems like a solid reason, but you can't always assume that the one you have is the only similar style Coach ever made. As the pictures in my previous post show, they've made 3 very similar bags with Shearling trim and with the Cs on a diagonal, so even though you clearly see the differences between the assumed fake and the one you own, there may be other styles you're not familiar with.

As I'm sure you know, genuine bags in those styles are hard to find and don't show up often, and someone who isn't familiar with the genuine styles might easily see the diagonal Cs on a real one and think it was fake because they'd never seen it before or because some bogus online Guide said that the Cs always had to be perfectly straight and meet at the center seam.

So it's always a good idea to ask first - Coach has made some really weird bags in the last 10 years or so, and it's always best to double-check before reporting. And we've always emphasized that if someone isn't absolutely sure based on previous experience that a style is fake, they should ask here before filing a report with Ebay. Just thinking something may be fake isn't enough.

Having a name-brand item removed as a fake can cause a lot of problems for a seller, like being restricted as to the number of name brand items they're allowed to list in the future. So it's better to let a possible fake slide through than to have a real bag removed and a seller unfairly dinged for listing a fake.

Hyacinth I really appreciate you EXPLAINING to me why it should not be reported, before it has been authenticated, instead of attacking me! I have been a seller as well, and I know how that goes! God forbid I don’t want to make anyone at anytime goes through any stress or hardship because of my action. Before finding this site, the way I authenticate my items was comparing them to the ones in the boutique or department stores. Say if I bought a Coach purse PERSONALLY from a Coach store and see something different, You will automatically know that the one in your hands are real without any doubt!

1. The "Logan" which looks fine, though in rough shape.

2. Confused.:confused1: The creed appears to be stamped in the wrong place? (Check out picture #5 from the left). I'm just not sure since my Station Bag has the creed stamped on the back wall. Maybe it's an error?

3. Could be a nice Willis from 1994.

Wait for other opinions.

I agree with DemRam. And the creed on the Station Bag is definitely in the wrong place but apparently they just let it slide. The bag itself looks ok.

Thank you Hyacinth and DemRam! I won the auction for the '94 Willis, and I'm excited for it to come!

I apologize for having "yelled" but when I read that "BeenBurned said to report if you think it's fake," that upset me. I've said a lot of things, some good and some bad; I've given accurate information and I've made my share of mistakes but one thing I've never said was to report a suspected fake.

Sorry for yesterday's rant.
