Authenticate this COACH

[BeenBurned]

I do understand about zippers not really meaning anything on their own. Does this mean zippers should not be given *any* consideration at all when evaluating a bag? (Except perhaps the *quality* of the zipper itself? I mean, cheap nylon (fake) vs substantial metal (possibly real).)

Some authentic bags have nylon zippers too.

So I discovered (about the early posts being outdated) - I have already read (and bookmarked!) this thread. It took me over 25 pages to realize the "drill-down" page had been disabled! It seems that the only rule that I haven't read an exception to is the "NO SIGNATURE "C's" ON BOTH OUTSIDE AND INSIDE - ONE OR THE OTHER" rule. Is this correct?

There are some exceptions to the signature inside/outside rule to.

I believe most if not all are patchwork bags.

Sorry about the length of this, but now I have another question. (And please feel free to direct this question to another thread if it doesn't belong here) How should I handle feedback to the seller - don't leave any? Or rate honestly - they posted good pics of the bag, shipped very promptly and offered to take it back AND pay for shipping both ways (clearly, they didn't realize it was real, either). The description wasn't honest, it was clearly SNAD, but I'm keeping by my choice.....................any advice?

SInce the seller did include pictures that clearly showed the condition and was willing to accept a return and fully refund your purchase price and shipping in both directions, she certainly doesn't deserve a neg.

In this case, I don't even know that I'd leave neutral feedback. Although she should get positive feedback, I think NO FEEDBACK is the way to go.

In addition to the style that Hyacinth posted as examples of the exceptions to the siggy rule, here's another, style 7048.

#1 and #3 look okay.

#2 concerns me. The gallery picture is a Coach stock photo and the only other 2 pictures appear to have a Chinese watermark on them, something that none of the seller's other listings have. There certainly aren't enough pictures to determine whether the bag is authentic or even to tell if the pictures are the seller's own.

 

[caramelcarebr]

Thank you. That concerned me, too. Stock photos as the main photo are never the first auction's I look at.

I'm giving this question a Bump so it doesn't get lost. That style bag has been very closely faked and we'll probably have to ask for better photos especially of the creed patch.

Wow! You take fantastic pictures!

I don't see any problems. Are you thinking it's fake? If so, what makes you think so?

Thank you for your fast reply. I just want to make sure because this is my first coach bag purchase.

I am also concern about the ff:
1. Dust bag - have loose threads.
2. Creed - not deeply embossed like the leather coach bags.

I will post the 2 other bags I purchased on ebay as well. This site is really helpful especially to newbies like me. Thank you!!! Thank you!!!

I agree with BB, the bag is fine.

I don't see any problems with the creed. The dust bag is fine as well. It's not uncommon for there to be some loose threads.

I don't see any red flags in the pictures, but please ask for a clear, closeup picture of the creed if you're interested in bidding.

please :d

thanks in advance

it's fine.


Eta: Although the listing in question appears to be fine, this seller tuneinjune buys for resale and has purchased from mddealers, a seller who sells many fake coach wallets.

Any listing from a seller with purchases from mddealers should have the wallets looked at carefully.

ah, thank you for the information. Does that mean i should be worried about the wristlet..?

i don't think you need to worry. The bag, wristlet, scarf and star charm look good to me.

Other opinions are welcome.

All the items in this listing look ok to me too.

To add to BB's comment about tuneinjune purchasing for resale, I have also seen fake Coach keychain purchases in her past buying history.
