Item: COACH Ergo Patchwork Hobo Bag with Matching Wristlet!
Number: 120668612212
Seller: nufashion
Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...2&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123#ht_567wt_1139
Comments: I have been desperately searching for this style in the brown for so long - but this item was pinging my "too good to be true" meter.

So I sent the seller this message:

What is the style number of this lovely bag? Do all the suede patches on both sides need cleaning? Also, since I don't have one of this material, is the orange C's section across the top (by the zipper) showing dirt/stain, or is the material tie-dyed that way? Thanks!

(Maybe tie-dyed wasn't the greatest term to use, but I couldn't think of any other way to describe that section - it's looks like it was manufactured smeared or blurry or splotched or something! I was mainly concerned there was no staining there because it would be a b***h to get clean in that area. Also, those sections are leaning toward orange-ish on my monitor.

And here is her answer - it this hostile or is it just me?

"The style numbr is 10809. Both suede patches on either side need cleaning. I don't see anything ORANCE on this purse, but none of the brown or tan Cs at the top of the bag are dirty or stained. I don't understnd the question re: tie dye? This is an authentic patchwork Coach bag that feaures patches from several style COACH bags, including signature, optic, scribble, animal print, canvas, smooth leather, and suede leather. I hope that helps"

Anyway, she's posted many pictures in the listing, but none of the creed. Can any of you auth it without a pic of the creed? The way the seller responded, I don't know how she would react to a picture request. This is a tremendous bargain if it's authentic. That combo would normally start at almost twice this seller's BIN price, so if it's real, I'm jumping on it!

Thanks in advance!

I agree with BB. That's the way the tie dyed patches are supposed to look.

I would still want to see a picture of the creed and the inside of the bag.

I didn't get the impression that the seller's response was hostile, it seemed that she was just clueless about what "tie dyed" means.

The patches you are referring to as "tie dye" and appearing to be dirty are actually called tie dye by Coach. And the nature of that pattern does make it appear slightly dirty.

I guess it was me, because the seller added the creed photo to the listing. If one of you angels could verify it is real ASAP, I want to BIN, because the price is a steal for my area - plus the normal auction runs out tomorrow!

Thanks so much!

i'm glad to come across this thread. i bid on some of her items until I suspected they're fake. one example is this listing http://cgi.ebay.ph/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270688383041&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT i asked her if the item was supossed to be style 14783 instead of 14785 per her listing but she insisted that 14785 was written on the patch. i concluded right away that her listings are fake.

finding this thread confirsm my suspicions though. thanks! :)

You are correct. Seller yayendij sells fakes. This isn't the first time a fake bag has had the wrong style number.

Here's what style 14785 is supposed to look like:

This is another opportunity to recommend against buying from yayendij and suggesting that before buying from Filipino sellers, buyers ask about the authenticity of items first.

And in addition to selling fakes, the seller also has a long history of shill bidding and it is clearly evident in the listing you've asked about.

There are some scary "good" fakes being sold by some Phillippines sellers. I'm glad you caught this before buying.
