I caught a "fake coach seller" the other day. They were selling a really really cute what looked like a carly tattersall with a black coach emblum on the front. I've never seen it before and all they had was the 1 picture. I asked for a picture of the inside label and they responded by saying " if you are looking for authenticity I will admit to you it is a replica. Do you still want pictures?" Ha yea right. No thanks! Although it would have been the cutest coach purse Ive ever seen in my opinion. I did send a report. shamefull seller. They put coach everywhere on the description and no where did it say replica or fake.
Just for the record, even if they admitted in the listing that it was fake, they aren't allowed to sell it. Counterfeit items are illegal whether the seller knows it, admits it or not.
 
Hi... I finally got more photos. I asked about authenticity for this a few weeks ago. I was told the hang tag was fake, but not sure about the bag & was asked for more photos.

Do not buy from sofia_nicole22. The seller has fakes.

None of the listings have good enough pictures to see much detail but this bag is definitely fake:

She reuses some of the pictures in multiple listings and I'm not even certain that all the pictures are her own.

And what's with all the "Coach" t-shirts?

This is not a listing. This bag is not up for auction. It was purchased secondhand by someone I know at a secondhand shop. Was this style ever made? If so, what is the style name? Can you verify authenticity, please?

I'm sorry to tell you that there is now no question that the bag is fake.

The style isn't made, the pattern and stitching aren't correct, the serial number is invalid.
 
thanks! warning duly noted.. :D

i bought this on ebay.ph last week. i had a hard time looking for this one because it's an old style. the seller said its brand new but i'm having doubts.

http://s1181.photobucket.com/albums/x423/kathyco01/coach 13178/

1st picture: this is a blue coach leah patent leather 13178.
2nd picture: i noticed the stitching on the seams are a bit uneven.
3rd picture: a little tear in the leather right at the corner of the in-seams.
4th picture: the creed.
5th picture: zipper pull. again, uneven stitching.
6th picture: i suppose everything has a beginning and end, does this model have one here?
7th picture: the care card that came with the bag. for a brand like coach, i was a bit dissapointed with the care card that came with. printed on uneven paper.
8th picture: the last page of the care card. last line couldn't even be read.

Please wait for other opinions on this but from what I'm seeing, the bag looks okay. (Please post a link to the listing.)

The bag you bought was made in July, 2010 so it's certainly not an old bag.

I don't see a problem with the stitching. There'll always be some backtacking (over-stitching) at the end of a seam in order to secure the stitching and prevent unraveling. That's what you're seeing on the zipper pull and top piping trim.

The slightly uneven stitch length (pic 2) appears to be a result of the difficulty of working with and sewing patent leather.

Remember that Coach, although a good quality bag isn't made by craftsmen (such as those who make Hermes) and the quality (and price) aren't Hermes level.

Regarding the paperwork, that is odd. The booklet appears to be something the seller might have had around and stuck into the bag. I think it's old.

Please do wait for other opinions but I believe you received an authentic bag.
