Dear experts, looking for your opinion.

Not an auction, this was found at a local flea-market. Thanks, as always, for your time. :smile1:

Brown, rectangular bag. Zippered top. One slip pocket inside. Strap is a double strand ... original owner put a knot in it to hold the two strands together.

Pics below (and there'll be a second post with a couple more pics).

To add to NSP's comment, I'll say that I thought Etsy was for vintage bags. This bag isn't vintage. It's from 2007, as indicated on the creed.

Please let me know if this purse is authentic...I've had a hard time finding any others like it to compare. The leather and stitching looks correct, but it's been a long time since I've purchased a Coach bag.

thanks!

Hey ladies. I am looking for a black leather Legacy Wallet...and came across these two. I thought they were the same, but they are not. Is one fake, or is it from a different year?
The one I thought about getting, but intuition says no:
Coach Leather Wallet in Black-Great Condition!

I used the second listing as reference for the first...and the first one just did not add up. The stitching looks wrong, texture looks wrong, among other little things.
They could both be authentic, just from different years...but I like the second listing better.
Before I buy a black Legacy wallet, I would like to know more about them...counterfeiters make very good fake wallets.
Thanks in advance for your help and I hope to learn more about these! :D

I am not going to comment on authenticity but Coach did use different top-stitching colors. I remember post somewhere where a seller was mad because a buyer was upset over the color of the top-stitching because it did not match that of her other items.

The gray topstitching was an original release.
Click to expand...

The original Legacy Leather Framed French Purse from 2006 was the one that had the white top-stitching. The style number of this wallet is 40208. The 2007 version was the one that had the gray stitching. This style number is 40705.

There were differences in the color and placement of stitching in the 2006 and 2007 versions of the Legacy wallets and wristlets for the Black and Whiskey colors.

As for the wallets in the listings you asked about, more pictures are needed.

I do have some concerns about the second seller's use of pictures. In many of her listings, she uses stock photos stolen from the Coach website or other sources and in some of the pictures there are different backgrounds and photography styles.

For example:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Stunning-COACH-...691?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item3a6143be13

http://cgi.ebay.com/NWT-COACH-Petro...628?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item564181425c

http://cgi.ebay.com/Stunning-COACH-...776?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item56418a7280

If a seller is able to take her own pictures, there is NO reason to be using stock photos.

Thank you Starry! Yes, the stitching was different (count, color, placement), and the texture of the leather looked different between these two.
I am looking for a black '07 wallet...whether it be the small or the large. Now I know what to look for, but I will come to you all with any potentials.

Thanks again! :D

It looks like an authentic "Basic Bag" (pictured below) if the measurements are the same.

Hello,

I recently came across this bag in a thrift shop. My first thought was 'FAKE'! On closer inspection, however, the quality seemed very good, so I brought it home anyway. I'm still convinced I'm right, but I thought of double-checking with all you experts here before I re-donate.

There's no serial number on the creed, but having perused this forum I understand this may not mean anything?

Thanks in advance,
GG

/\/\ Yeah, it's fake... and honestly, horribly so. And the word "detal" in the creed is supposed to be spelled "detail", btw.

ETA: And please do not donate it. It would end up on ebay, or be misrepresented in some other way. Throw it away or destroy it.

I'm also uncomfortable about the second seller.

Although I wasn't able to find other sources of possible picture "borrowing," I did find a couple of questionable listings.

The following 2 listings are for the same item and use the same gallery picture. Since the second listing has additional pictures of the item, I suspect that jamibw1980 stole from that seller.

Her listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/Chic-COACH-Zebr...493?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item56418141d5

Stolen from this listing?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...ags&rt=nc&si=MMI4uF8oM7NYhwKI7pxCB%2FPKXAs%3D

And jamibw1980 has 2 different listings for this wallet. One wallet is used and the other is new, but the pictures in the listings certainly are very different as far as quality.

#1: http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-COACH-Madi...973?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item3a618008c5

#2: http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-COACH-Madi..._CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item3a612bd784&x=43&y=2

Personally, I too, feel uncomfortable about this seller.

Please authenticate this handbag. I am almost 100% sure this is not authentic. I just wanted to make sure, before I report it.

Do not buy from privateyes2010.

The seller sells fakes and might occasionally mix in an authentic bag.

The bag you asked about is fake as are the following listings from the same seller:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Coach-Wristlet-/150535085642?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item230c971e4a

And in this listing for a fake D&G, the seller was ASQ'ed about authenticity and lied, but she did end the listing early:
