The yellow gallery tote looks good, but it would be good to see a picture of the creed.

Thank you so much! I will ask my niece if she can take more pics. :D I think I will keep the yellow one and have her return the black. Not because I don't think it's real but I like the Yellow one much better. She went to the Coach store but I am unsure if it was the Coach Outlet or the regular store so I am just being extra careful before I have her go to the trouble of sending it to me. It's her first time so I am not sure if she knows the difference between the two stores. Are there ever fakes in the Coach outlet stores or are we pretty safe?

There should be more pictures of the bag such as the back, bottom, sides, hardware, to verify that the pictures are the seller's own pictures.

I don't believe that the seller uses her own pictures. I couldn't find a source for the pictures used in this listing but the background and photographing styles are different in each of her listings:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150442231641 (This looks like the listing where it was purchased: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190390977705 ) Sheesh! Bought for $222.50 on April 28 and sold at a loss less than 2 weeks later.

This one uses a stock photo plus another that is different from either of the above:

Edited to add: I believe this is where the bag was purchased. The problem is that bigben52582 doesn't use his own pictures. The pictures in the listing were stolen from the Coach website and a Japanese website.

I've reported sponsored links for fake-selling websites for over a year. It appears that ebay doesn't care who advertises as long as they pay for the advertisement.

Please post pictures of the wallet, the box and any paperwork that came with it. (For the wallet, show front, inside, and clear closeups of any embossed imprints or markings.)

If you purchased from ebay, please post the listing in the format requested in the first post of the thread.

I have questions about seller zimbligyhttp://myworld.ebay.com/zimbligy/'s item. Are you the winning bidder?

The brown box with red ribbon would have been from a boutique purchase.

But there are problems with the listing which simply may be picture errors or may be something else.

The tag is showing a style number for an outlet item and the outlets don't use brown boxes with red ribbon.

Additionally, the tag shown is incorrect for the item. The tag is for a denim wallet yet this one is khaki. The tag doesn't belong with that wallet.

However, I do see that the seller has both mahogany and denim wallets so he may have mixed the tags and put the wrong one in the wrong wallet or he may have posted the incorrect pictures.

I'm not sure what was done here.

Also, I'm not completely familiar with that wallet style but the listing you show has credit card pockets on both sides of the inside. (style number is 74025.)

Seller also had this item, also style 74025, yet there is a coin pocket on the inside.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Coach-Mens-Wall...23?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Wallet&hash=item20b1565cab

I may be reading the tag wrong; the reflection of the flash obliterated the last part of the style number.

Please wait for other opinions on this item. I'm also somewhat bothered by the high quantities and low prices of the same wallets that the seller has sold.

The box is a big problem - fakes sellers usually get the boxes wrong.

Those mens wallets were a bit different from the womens versions though. According to Coach's original pics on their site, the KHDE code is for Khaki fabric and a Denim fabric stripe. That's the only Denim color on the wallet. I'm posting Coach's pic of 74026 which is the style of the one with the price tag with the unreadable last number - it's actually a 6. Here's the listing to compare:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Coach-Mens-Wall...23?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Wallet&hash=item20b1565cab

and here's the website pic, the color code on the website was KHDE. BTW, the stripe widths on some of the Coach pics don't match the final production versions. The second pic is 74025 which is the Passcase style in khkai with mahogany:

Thanks for the pictures Hyacinth. I knew that DE referred to the stripe color, but the listings show the DE tag inside the wallet with the mahogany stripe.

That was why I suggested that perhaps the seller either put the wrong pictures in the listings or put the wrong tag into the wrong wallet.

Now for the pertinent question: Are this seller's wallets (see all the current, completed and feedback listings) authentic?
