Hello. I already bought this, but now I think it might be fake....the creed is really worn down (but if you look closely- it can be read) and the black edges along the white patent look sloppy. Could you authenticate this, please? Thanks!:cool:

If I can read the creed right it looks like a 2009 MFF bag, but it would help if you could make the creed picture bigger.

It's hard to see much detail from the pics. Can you post larger pictures of the bag: front, back, bottom, hardware, hangtag, inside, and a larger picture of the creed? What are the "black edges along the white patent"? Can you post a closeup picture of this? Does the bag appear to have been cleaned? That may explain the worn creed. If you could post the link to where you bought this that would help as well.
 
This is fake. There are several things wrong with it. I think the seller knows it's fake and is lying about buying it from the outlet, giving the disclaimer that there may be flaws.

The auction has ended with the reserve not met, but watch for the bag to be relisted.

ETA: The seller has sold these fakes:

Do not buy from 10sweden67.
Thank you so much Starrymaz. Your response was very much appreciated and was just what I expected. Unfortunately I purchased through ebay a bag that was exactly the same and when I had an email exchange with the seller, I was told she purchased the bag at Dillards, etc. and offered a million other excuses. I will make sure I never get ripped off again thanks to your help.

Actually- the creed does look like it was moistened at some point- the letters are there, they are just flattened, so the camera does not pick it up really well....

At the top of the patent binding, there are dark marks where the edging looks like it bled?

I bought this bag on Craigslist......so no link. Here are some hopefully better pictures....

In order for us to authenticate your bag, we need to see pictures of the bag you received. Please post pictures of the front, back, bottom, sides, hardware, logo plaque, hangtags, and a closeup picture of the creed. Please also post a link to the auction.
 
Item: NWT Coach Madison Op Art Maggie Op Art Mahogany Large 14324
Listing No. 250681456842
Seller: thefinerthings1338
Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250681456842&


Please authenticate this purse. The seller has a low feedback score and I am concerned about its authenticity having already been burned once. Thank you.

I don't recommend buying from thefinerthings1388, as this seller steals pictures from other sellers. It's questionable whether those pictures are even the seller's own pictures.

In many of her listings, the seller uses stock photos stolen from the Coach website.

In this listing for a Madison wallet http://cgi.ebay.com/NWT-COACH-MADIS...ER-WALLET-/250681967596?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0
the 3rd and 4th pictures are stolen from this seller:

I think the dark marks are where some of the edging came off of the bag... but it looks ok to me... I would wait for a second opinion from another viewer though...

The bag is fine. It appears that someone tried to clean the creed which made have caused the fading. On a used bag, it's a common occurrance for the sealant on the edges to peel like that.
