BeenBurned,

Nope, no idea if she sells on eBay. Actually I think her specialty is in "bulk purchase BP" as in forumers pay her to buy from Outlet / Boutique, she'd collect $$$ upfront and everyone splits shipping. at least this is from what I understand.

COACH bags are terribly expensive in Singapore. A key fob could cost up to SGD 139 (equiv to USD98 @ 1.42!!!) at the boutique! The leather Hailey I'm eyeing is MSRP USD398 but SGD799. Even converting from USD, it should cost around SGD565...you could say all items easily cost +50% more than in the US. So blogshops and eBay are our best bet (unless you know friends who travel frequently to the US and won't mind bringing a bag back for you ;)

This thread is sooo helpful! Thanks ladies! :D

Hello,
I believe this is a fake of the 3573. I was about to report it because I am 99.9% sure it is fake, but just want to double check. Everything is wrong, the size of the buckles, the interior fabric, the patches, the strap...

"Coach Patchwork Hobo"
Seller is: revekingtc
Item #160443701923

Thanks very much for your help.

The creed has a number that doesn't match any completed listings. Unless Coach made another version of the 5373 that looks really similar, then this has to be fake.

It is weird that the creed patch looks different in the close up, but sometimes the light can do tricks. I think the lining looks different in the two pics also. I also know that the Coach 5373 has a solid purple lining, no logo.

You've transposed the digits in the style number.

In this case, it's definitely not the lighting. One photo shows the fake mini sig lining and the other picture shows lozenge lining, neither of which is correct for this bag.

As for the serial number not showing up in listings, that doesn't really mean a lot. In this case, part of the reason you don't see a lot of bags with that s/n is because the serial number is from 2004 and being 6 years old, there won't be as many listings as for a current bag.

However, in fact, there are some listings for the authentic style with that serial number:

These are authentic completed: http://completed.shop.ebay.com/i.ht...573&_osacat=0&bkBtn=&_trksid=p3286.m270.l1313

And these are current. As an example of how frequently this serial number is seen on fakes, the current listings show 5 listings. Only ONE of them is authentic. :(

It looks like it's actually a Multi Case, probably style # 42130, not a full-feature wallet. It doesn't look like there's a coin or zipped pocket.

The seller's shipping charge is outrageous though - those weigh a LOT less than a wallet, are a lot thinner, and could fit in a padded envelope, the seller is making about a ten-dollar profit on the shipping. And they're still at the outlets for about the same price the seller is charging for a used one with damage.

Yikes! By my calculations for my zip code, the seller is making a $13 profit on shipping.

The keychains are authentic.

The seller removes the charms and uses them on her own homemade jewelry which she sells. She attaches the charms to (generic) silver chains.

In fact, this listing includes the heart charm that was removed from the turquoise embossed photo keychain:
