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.

The "Chanel" is the black bag that's behind the brown "Coach" swingpack. It has a fake Chanel tag and Chanel logos on it.

Although the bag appears to be okay, I have concerns about the seller's honesty.

The seller isn't using her own pictures. She purchased the bag from another seller and is using that seller's pictures and description (as well as a stolen stock photo from Coach). Here is where she purchased the bag:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260637103163

She is also lying in her description where she says: "I personally purchase my items directly from a COACH Store and that is why I can guarantee the authenticity. I inspect each and every COACH item that I purchase to make sure that they are in PERFECT condition before I buy!"

She also sold a fake LV on June 19. I know very little about LV but this one is clearly fake.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170502708145

And she sold the same fake again for 3-times as much money on August 3.

Hmmm. Something strange is going on.

Seller sold this bag on July 5:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170506472514

And listed it again in this listing that ended on August 14:
http://cgi.ebay.com/EUC-Genuine-Coa...ght-Brown-/170514282453?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags

She sold this one also on July 5 to the same bidder as above:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170506476122

And again listed it here, ending on July 12:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170509436951

Surprise! The winning bidder of the original listings is from the same state as the seller.

I would not buy from skibabe183. Seller uses other sellers' pictures, lies in descriptions as to the source of her items, sells fakes and shill bids.

Great detective work, BB!

UGH! I completely agree. Do not buy from this seller.

I don't recognize the bag.

In order to determine authenticity, and to determine if it's vintage, you would need a picture of the inside and a clear photo of the creed stamp.

If this bag is listed for sale on ebay or Bonanzle (or another selling site), please post in the format requested on the first post of the thread.

Although there aren't enough pictures to determine authenticity, seeing a seller's other items and history are helpful.

Thanks so much for both of your replies, it is greatly appreciated. My apologies, I'll be sure to follow the correct format from now on, also I'll try to get more pictures for this item from the seller. :) Thanks!
