I have no idea of the type or anything on this and would greatly appreciate it, but mostly I would like to get it authenticated. Pictures were taken by me just a few minutes ago.

Thanks a bunch for any help! :-)

It looks good. It's a Chelsea Optic Signature Large Hobo.

I thought this looked enough like a white(?) audrey to chance $135 (just bought it) and I just hope it's truly in mint condition, but wanted to get your opinion on authenticity too.

Hi: I received this bag today and wanted to post pics for authentication (fingers crossed). I think/hope it's a bone audrey. came with a few marks but that's ok I can clean it up as long as it's geniune. Here are my photos, the creed pic still isn't great and it seems really lightly pressed for some reason.

Also it did have the long strap but I don't like it so I took it off...please advise if you need pics of that. Thanks.

Forgot one...

I'm posting this here for another opinion. I believe the bag being questioned is authentic but a second opinion is always helpful.

Someone asked about this bag on the ebay boards and although the text on the creed seems to have run-on words, I've seen similar creeds on authentic bags.

Here are some pics posted by the OP.

I also believe the bag is authentic. I've seen similar creeds from that era as well. If you look carefully the words aren't really run-on. There is space between the words.

I'm pretty certain this is a fake, but I wasn't sure where to post this.
I asked for close up pics and the creed # and this is the response I received.

"First, a true serial number is unique. Finding a Coach patch with an actual unique serial number is next to impossible. Coach hasn't used a true serial number for about 10 years. Sure, the older bags had true serial numbers, but not anymore. The myths , urban legends or simple un-truths surrounding "the patch" have caused many a girl to go into a panicked frenzy of sorts after receiving a bag that had a patch with no numbers or worse yet, no patch at all!

There are more than a few different creeds but the most common ones will read something like these:

THIS IS A COACH BAG. IT WAS HANDCRAFTED IN CHINA FROM THE FINEST MATERIALS TRIMMED WITH GENUINE LEATHER. ITS SUPERIOR CRAFTSMANSHIP AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL REFLECT OUR COMMITMENT TO ENDURING QUALITY."

Horrible fake.

This is not a conventional request, but a friend of mine posted this photo of some bags that someone brought to her office. I suspect they are not real, but some of them look pretty accurate, so I wanted to ask the pros. This is the only photo she took, sorry.

The seller's reply is BS.
Also the hardware and both hangtags are obvious fakes. Please report.

Can someone check the seller's "Gucci"?

The bag in this listing is a bad fake.

I don't know about the "Gucci," but the Dooney for which the seller received positive feedback is another bad fake.

The Coach bags are all fake as is the LV.

All of them are fake. Ugh! I can't believe someone brought these in probably with the intention of selling them. :tdown:

So, aside from the plastic on the handles and the obviously fake LV, what are the big "tells" for the Coach bags? That "Chanel" is atrocious! I can tell how bad the leather is even from that pic!

Most aren't even accurate copies of Coach styles. Patterns, colors, trims, etc. are all wrong. They're not even close (i.e. "good") fakes.

I'm not sure which one you think is a fake Chanel. I see 9 fake Coaches and a fake LV.
