I'm not really familiar with made-in-Italy boots (if Coach did/does make them there) but I don't want to appear to ignore your request. I'm a bit baffled and at this point and I don't know whether they're authentic or not.

While the font on the Coach name on the sole looks okay, I'm not familiar with Coach having a lozenge stamp inside the boot as well as so little other information inside.

Every pair of boots, sneakers, sandals and shoes I've seen has had more information on the inside. There's usually a style number, style name, "made in" country and size information. Sometimes there's also information about the construction material.

Your boot appears to only have what looks like a style number, European size and the Coach lozenge. The font on your boot is different from what I'm familiar with but it could be because they're Italian-made. Are there any more markings on the inside?

Is there anything on the insole? It might be hard to get a photo but the counterfeiters often have trouble (or make no attempt to) getting it right on the insole.

If you can't get a definitive answer here, you might want to post your question and pics on the shoe forum. Dallas is very knowledgable re shoes but I don't know how familiar she is with Coach: http://forum.purseblog.com/the-glass-slipper/authenticate-those-shoes-32044-270.html#post17922954

If you want, you can cross-reference this post in case she wants to read another opinion.

Sorry I can't be much more help.

The very inside sole has no markings, but I'm not sure if it's because there is no zipper & not the easiest to get to??? The bottom sole feels like my other Coach shoes but just not sure on these.......I posted over in shoes as well.

Generally, I think insoles are removable because sometimes people need to replace them.

I still don't know whether your boots are okay or not but I found another listing (without enough pictures) for a similar pair of boots.

The heel is different and I can't tell whether they have the horse and carriage imprint as your pair has but you might ask the seller to send some pictures as a comparison.

I'd be interested in seeing the stamped markings inside:

^I don't feel comfortable with the black ones (placement of the stamps on the inside). Do you have any stamps of Coach on the buckles? (not sure if they should have it or shouldn't have it).

Maybe the brown Robynn boots BB posted about will help us find out how authentic yours are :)

I agree, Bunny. I'm not comfortable with the boots she purchased but I don't want to jump to any conclusions without comparing to another Italian-made pair.

Another thing that is weird I just noticed is that "Coach" isn't stamped inside of both boots and the other boot has the number as "K445-1-38" where the one that is stamped says "K445-38"

Attached some pictures I saw of boots on da 'bay that also had "MADE IN ITALY" tags on them.

Item : Coach Kristin Studded Pleated Black Satchel
Item Number: 220732751008
Seller: 2designrchicks
Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/Coach-Kristin-S...008?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item3364b27ca0

Hi! I was wondering if I could get your opinion on this bag? I'm thinking I have seen this seller listed here before but I couldn't find them when I did a search. I am going to request a photo of the hardware, each side of bag and a close up of the creed. I just wondering what your opinion would be so far. Thanks so much for your time!

Seller: one.way.up

But this seller has over 11,000 items sold and is a top rated seller.............still, the listing descriptions seemed hinky, along with no picture of the creed.

Coach has made bags in Italy. Hyacinth or DemRam might be able to confirm authenticity of the bag in the listing.

You'll never see an authentic Coach bag that says "made in Korea."

It's genuine, from the Dakota line.

The description says color is black & brown. Strange or my eyes are bad.

Without searching posts regarding the seller, I don't recommend 2designerchicks as a seller I would do business with.

The listing you've asked about has 3 pictures, ALL stolen stock photos from Coach. Not only does the seller use copyrighted pictures but she doesn't even make the effort to show any actual pictures of her item.

And she makes a habit of not using her own work. In the following listing, there's just one stolen picture and it's not even enlargable!
http://cgi.ebay.com/Coach-Hampton-S...961?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item4aa84f6f09

In this listing (for a Juicy Couture bag), she uses a stock picture plus another photo showing a different style bag!!
http://cgi.ebay.com/Juicy-Couture-B...127?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item3364bf90bf

So in answer to your question, there's no way to know whether this is a reputable seller because we can't see actual pictures of the Coach bag she is selling.
