It's fake. The style number is for a small butterfly kisslock purse.

Hey guys- the beginner again :-/ sorry to bother you all, But I did give the lady the link to this page, and she sai that the bag is absolutly real. It was bought from the US and she paid $400 for it.... Is the ONLY way to tell the serial number? Because I have checked soooo many sites, and I cannot for the life of me find a single fault that would show that my purse is a fake :(

(also, I am awear that the OLD drilldown link doesn't work, but neither the butterfly purse that "Been Burned" Mentions or mine shows up on the new one...)

I do appreciate your style # list "Been Burned"... Im sorry if I'm being a pain, but maybe someoone else could give me another opinion- if its fake its fake (although its a very good copy!!) but im so sure its not.....

The leather is beautiful and the trimmings (thread and buckles etc... are flawless.)

(Have posted some pics I took now that I do have the bag )

The # agan is GO5K 3565.

Don't wanna upset you "Been burned" !

Hey Guys,

Totally new to Coach, this website and Forums all-together... so please be patient with me ;)

Serial # G05K-3565





Sorry guys, my original post and these were the original pics if that helps :)

I'm very sorry that your seller is insisting that the bag is authentic. It's absolutely fake. There is no question. And it's not a "good" fake either. Most fakes aren't well made and the counterfeiters get things wrong.

The drill down has been removed from Coach's website and isn't viewable, but I do have a picture of style 3565, which I've attached.

Again, I invite the seller to ask any authenticity questions and/or we can advise her on obtaining a refund. If she paid $400 for it, she really got scammed. If this bag were authentic, it wouldn't have retailed for that much money.

CORRECTION: Style number 3565 is a ladybug NOT a butterfly! (I got my bugs mixed up. :( )

I totally see what you are saying :) BB.... but apart from you pic that you've popped up (which I don't know where you got if the drill downs aren't working.... :thinkin:) there is not ONE think I can fault....? Also, do u live in the US...? Cuz how would you know how much it retailed for when she bought it in the US some years ago...?

I really am not trying to be horrible... I'm sorry if i seem pathetic, but I just was hoping to get some other opinions, because I really cannot fault my bag :(

OOps what I meant with this part 'Also, do u live in the US...? Cuz how would you know how much it retailed for when she bought it in the US some years ago...?"

Is that she was paying in Aussie dollars, in the US.... so depending on the time she was there, it may only have been $200ish USD but $400ish AUD...?

I understand and I'm not at all offended that you want another opinion.

I'm hopeful someone else will chime in and help you understand that although it might seem to be well-made, it's still a fake, still carries all the horrible implications of the counterfeit trade and isn't what you paid for.

I found a completed listing for style 3565. There's a clear and legible picture of the creed and as you can see, it has the identical serial number as the bag you have.

http://cgi.ebay.com/NWT-358-COACH-P...tem&pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item2307ad57b8

If you read this forum, you'll often see questions asking whether such-and-such a serial number is an authentic bag. And the response given is that a serial number cannot prove authenticity because the counterfeiters can and often do put legitimate serial numbers on fakes. (Your bag is one of those examples.)

In this case, the serial number proves UN-authenticity since the serial number doesn't match the style of bag.

I do live in the US. As for knowing how much the bag retailed for, I don't know exactly; I was just commenting that signature bags generally don't retail for over $400.

I'm not even sure that the style of bag your's is trying to copy was even made in 2005, the year on the creed.

The information given by BB is absolutely correct, including the pic that "popped up".

So sorry.
