BeenBurned, I just saw this site posted on another thread, and they are saying it's real. Can you confirm?

That's the one exception to the rule. The site is only open once every month or 2 for a special Invitation Only sale - Coach sends out emails to selected buyers.

If you tried surfing or ordering from that page without one you wouldn't get far.

Well, I'm in, and I've ordered. Either I have a very popular name, or there is an open sale going on right now, because I had no problems at all with the order process.

Is there a possibility it's wide open right now?

Are you saying you were able to get in and purchase without having received an email invitation?

I got one this time but in the past, I was never able to access it. I would try to log in and I'd get an "invitation only" error message.

I wonder whether it's a glitch this time.

Congrats and good luck with your purchases.

Open it now, and type in your last name. It will let you right in. There's a sale going on right now for 20% off all the items. Look at the pic I posted. I got a great bag and cosmetic case for under $150.

Well, let's see if I made a liar out of myself or not. Just used a fairly generic name to sign in and my own info to use Checkout. We'll see in a few hours if my order gets rejected. And I found 2 bags I would have bought anyway if they'd been at the b&m outlet. :wondering

ETA - Just got an email confirmation - fingers crossed...

Thanks much.

The bag in that listing IS supposed to have solid lavender lining. The one you saw at Goodwill would have been fake.

There are many fakes in a style that tries to copy that hamptons patchwork style and most of the fakes have cheap gold mini sig lining. Those are absolutely fake.

But I don't think you ever read that any signature lining bag is fake. That's not true.

Generally, signature linings will be in solid color bags, but there are exceptions to the rule and there are some bags with patterned exteriors or some type of patchwork, dots or other design and sometimes those styles will have signature lining. But it's NEVER the tacky gold mini sig lining that you see on fakes.

This thread has a lot of helpful information: http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-sh...enticity-questions-94198-34.html#post16881722

Will you please let me know if this charm or any other listed ones by this seller are authentic or not? I would like to make sure, before reporting them. Thank you

This listing from darc3353:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Coach-XL-Signat...315?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item4cf4b0418b

as well as this item: http://cgi.ebay.com/Coach-SpringBug...868?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item35af7cd29c

were both purchased from a now-naru seller of fakes, mybiglstore2010.
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=mybiglstore2010&ftab=AllFeedback

Her response to the negative feedback in not true. Her claim to have purchased from Coach is a lie because the charm you bought was fake and Coach doesn't sell fakes. And in fact, Hyacinth pointed out the fake keychain it was part of when darc3353 purchased it.

That seller is risking her TRS status, her reputation and her ebay account with the purchase and sale of fakes. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-5...0&si=8qKvNgMIjmtIn9BZV1T8CAcIu5I%3D&viewitem=

I just read the follow up, what a big looser this seller is! She thinks for me getting $30 refund is a big deal! She does not think about her continuous cheating and robbing buyers blind, with added high shipping and FELTHY PACKAGING. Although there is all evidence showing in black and white.
Thanks a lot everyone

I don't know where you're getting your information about YKK zippers and Coach stamps on the rings, but whatever guides you've been reading are incorrect.

Although Coach does sometimes use YKK zippers, they also use other brands of zippers. Additionally, 99% of fakes have zippers that are marked with YKK. (Evidently, the counterfeiters have read the same bogus guides!)

And with regard to the Coach name being engraved on o-rings and hardware, generally, the more engravings, the more likely the bag is to be fake.

That said, the bag you won is authentic.

Thank you! Clearly I've got a lot to learn!
