I've never seen a charm clip engraved with "Coach" like this one. Is the clip original to the keychain and is this keychain authentic? TIA.



OK, I stand corrected. They DID make one clip like that, it was half of an early Valet style and had 2 dog-leash clips, one of them had the Coach lozenge stamped on it. Style number was 7364 and I have one that still has the price tag on it.

The one in the listing is a "marriage" though, the Heart looks ok and was added to the clip somewhere along the way.

Here's the clip with the rest of the keychain. The stamped logo doesn't show in the pic, it's on only one of the clips.

Thanks Hyacinth! You are a wealth of information! :smile1:

Yikes, that's quite garish - and fake.

This seller also has two fake keychains and another fake bag:

http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Release-Coa...190?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item1e5f6cd28e

This fake has sold:
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-RELEASE-BEA...961?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e5f4446c1

The lifesaver charm is the wrong the color, there are several wrong details on each of the charms, and the hangtag font is wrong.

Do not buy from tww1966!

Interesting! I have pictures of that identical charm, style 8247 and the clip doesn't have the engraved lozenge and it's differently shaped. The original item doesn't come with a keyring either.

The charm in the listing is missing it's hangtag.

I believe that the leather heart in the listing is authentic. I'll be interested to see if anyone has knowledge of different clips being used by Coach.

I've attached pictures of both sides of my clips for the identical style with a side by side comparison to the listing in question.

And this one is the entire charm. I don't see any problems with the heart charm in the listing as compared to this one:

I didn't realize that Coach made a clip like that but the shape of the clip in Hyacinth's picture is still very different from that in the listing. I believe that the clip (on the fob in the listing) is fake.

To add to what Starry said, I'll comment that the few authentic pictures in tww1966's listings are stolen pictures.

This listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/C0ACH-Tear-Drop-Hot-Pink-Magenta-Keychain-92699-/130450147111

Was stolen from this seller: http://cgi.ebay.com/COACH-Magenta-Signature-Tear-Drop-Key-Fob-Ring-92699-/230522233245

This listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/C0ACH-SIGNATURE-STRIPE-PASSPORT-HOLDER-60600-/130450137909

Was stolen from this seller: http://cgi.ebay.com/NWT-COACH-CHELSEA-PASSPORT-ID-CASE-HOLDER-60600-/250720062384

This listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/NWT-C0ACH-Raspberry-Passport-Holder-60727-/130450032466

Came from here: http://cgi.ebay.com/NWT-COACH-Raspberry-Metalic-Foil-Passport-Holder-60727-/230541538804

More confirmation that you probably shouldn't do business with tww1966.

Thanks BB! I had the same thought about the clip because of the shape. But I took a look at Hyacinth's DD pic again and it looks like the shape of the clip and the trigger looks like the one in the listing. Maybe somewhere along the way the clip from another item was added to the heart.

I'm looking at the actual clip - clipS, actually since the keychain includes 2 - and it's exactly the same as the one in the listing. Sorry, I don't have a digital camera but there's no doubt whatsoever that it's the same. Even the size is right since the 2 clips are smaller than the ones usually used on keychains and purse charms and so are the keyrings. Coach's normal keyrings are about 1 5/8 inch outside diameter but the ones on the Dog Leash Valet keychain are 1 1/8 on the outside. The clips are 1 3/8 inches long, and the keychain includes two clips and two keyrings.

BB, take another look at Coach's pic and remember, there are two clips clipped together, they're at 90 degrees from each other, and only one side of one clip has the Coach stamp. Every single detail on my clips is identical - EVERYTHING - from the size and positioning of the Coach lozenge to the flat round "cap" at the end opposite from the opening to the shape of the letters inside the Coach lozenge including the shape of the serifs on the Cs. The letters are less than two millimeters high and they're exactly right in every detail. Tell me how many fakes you've seen that can say that. The same fine detail is on the clip in the listing.

Again, I'm holding the actual 7364 in my hand along with the price tag and also have a very good selection of magnifying glasses. I'm 100 percent certain that the clip and keyring on the Heart charm is one-half of that Valet keychain.

More proof - the Holiday 2002 catalog dated 11-1-02, page 29, style 7364, is clipped onto the strap of the Sig Khaki Wristlet with a key hanging from one end, and the shape of the clips and the Coach stamp on the lower dog-leash clip comes through perfectly.

That's what I mean by a "marriage", like when the top and bottom of 2 different antique dressers or cabinets are put together to form a single almost-matched unit. The Heart and the 3-link chain attached to it are from one original Heart keyring or charm, and the keyring and dog-leash clip are one-half of a 7346 which was just 2 clip-and-ring combos attached together by the dog-leash clips so you could just unclip one from the other if you needed to separate your car and house keys.
