Has anyone heard of this website and do they sell authentic Coach?

http://myeboutique.my/products/COACH/
I've never heard of it but I have a few comments and caveats.

Generally, with the exception of its own site and a few major retailers, Coach doesn't authorize websites to sell its products. They don't allow boutiques or even individuals to purchase their items in bulk and in fact, there are numerous posts on tPF from members here who have been banned from Coach when suspected of being resellers.

Therefore, it's always a good idea to ask about sites or sellers who seemingly have an endless supply of high quantities of Coach items.

According to the "about us" section of that site, it states that they buy from the US for resale in Malaysia. There are some US sellers who have regular customers in Malaysia for whom they purchase Coach and ship.

But whether this website buys from a trusted source, I don't know. And there's know way to know whether they even have the product (in stock) or if they sell authentic items because the pictures they use are Coach's stock photos and don't show the actual items.

I'd ask a lot of specific questions as to who they buy from in the US and also ask for actual pictures.

Thanks for your reply. I was sort of skeptical as I noticed this website uses a lot of Coach website stock photos as you've mentioned and does not use or take their own photos, so this was a big red flag for me, as I've seen so many counterfeit sellers and websites steal Coach.com website stock photos to get away with selling fakes. This may not be the case with this website, but they fit the pattern used by so many counterfeiters.

Heads up...yet another black "gathered Carryall" has shown up. I have noticed something...a lot of these "superfakes" are coming in from Canada. For instance...

Here is the Carryall, which we all know is not available yet whatsoever if it is even being released:
http://cgi.ebay.com/AUTHENTIC-COACH...924?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item1c1d07873c

And here are two of those Mad Gathered Sophias with that yucky plastic on the handles and everything else...(these were also either relisted, sold outside of ebay, etc...look at the completed listings.

Seller number 1: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Auth-Coach-...217?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item256540d769

Seller number 2: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-COACH-MADIS...226?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item3cb94cfd02

And all 3 are from Canada. I have heard about a lot of fake LV coming in from there...but now I think it's best to warn people about the fake Coach coming in also.

Honestly, if I were to ever buy a black Mad Gathered anything...I would buy from a retailer. Nowadays, you just can't be too safe with these. :(

Just my two cents.

ETA: Here is another one from one of the above sellers (all 3 have been reported by me): http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Auth-Coach-...429?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item25656b6e95

Thanks, PCL - and I'm trying to read the style # on the Carryall so I can save the photos in my files but can't quite make it out. Is it 16362?

Thanks!
 
You don't see many of them, there's only one other one on Ebay that I can find. It's called a Colebrook Case and was a bit smaller than a standard briefcase, check the dimensions and make sure it will work for you.

Sorry about that. I was in a waiting room and the autocorrect on the iPhone kicked in.

I am showing the Colebrooke measures 14" above the base, total height is 10.5" to the top of the flap, qnd 2.35" wide. Your MAC may fit in it if it's the small one.

I do not believe this Colebrooke was dyed. I was speaking mainly about the Levingtons being dyed.


Just want to thank you all for your help. The bag arrived today and it's beautiful. It also fits my Macbook Pro perfectly and it has room for the charger and accessories in the pocket.
 
Could someone please authenticate the following tote:

Item: Brown Leather Tote - 9305
Seller: setsukos
Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/VNTG-COACH-BROW...&otn=5&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=1178007198618845783
Comments: The serial number is J4D 9305 - What year does this imply? Thank you in advance.

I'm having trouble finding an "older" tote that would have both a zipped main compartment and a long enough strap to wear around the shoulder.
 
Is this authentic? I am told the bag is in like new condition and was offered this bag for $75. I think it's a Madison Op Art Maggie Bag in Black/Gray and I think that would be a good deal. Thank you!

J4D would be the year 1994 and I don't recall the Bleecker bags being made that early.

I could be TOTALLY WRONG so wait for Hyacinth to comment.

Hi,

I bought this purse from Ebay a few years ago before I knew that Purse Forum exists. I am wondering if you could authenticate it for me, because I'd like to try to sell it now, but I am not 100% sure that it is authentic. Please let me know if there is any additional information that you need. Thanks a million!

Lori

Please DON'T BID on that bag!

DemRam is absolutely right, the "4" in the serial number should mean 1994 but these leather Bleeker styles and style numbers didn't even come out until late 1998. Also, take a look at the close-up photo of the creed and look at the stitching on the leather tab above the creed that holds the bag closed - the stitching is REALLY bad. In fact the stitching on many areas of the bag is not up to Coach's standard. The underside of the strap in photo 14 also looks really badly done.

Definitely fake.

It looks ok to me but wait for more opinions.

It's fine as far as authenticity. If you list it, you'll want to include many more pictures.
