Comments: These bags both appear to be the same model, but I am seeing differences between them, unless it is just the lighting in the pictures. Any red flags? TIA!

What other differences are you seeing?

The Coach Leather Tag is shown in the one auction on the side of the bag, and it doesn't look like the other one has the same tag. Do they both look authentic?

The hangtag in the second listing is flipped over so you're seeing the back (unstamped) side.

But just note that hangtags get lost and if a buyer requests a replacement from Coach, they don't always receive the same one that was original to the bag. So it's possible that sometimes listings for the same bags will have different hangtags.

I'm sorry I was referring to these two pictures, unless that tag would only be on one side of the bag?

I also have a question about alexandras.. i bought one (not this one) and it was listed as an alexandra and when i looked at the tag after I received it it said Riley. boughten at macys. I was told that rileys are the name given to the bags sold at macys and alexandras are given at coach. seemed fishy but the bag is crisp and new and clean and nothing wrong and georgous so i was hoping for an alexandra and left appropriate feedback that they needed to watch the labeling on their listing but it is a good bag still and worth the price.

Alexandra and Riley are the same bag. Please see this thread for an explanation of the name:

As for the bag in the listing you asked about, two of the pictures are stock photos. The other pictures are too blurry and there needs to be a clear picture of the creed and clearer pictures of the bag. There also needs to be more pictures of the wallet.

My comment is to add to Starry's response concerning lmcdmd's use of stock photos.

The seller has 13 current and 31 completed listings, most of which use Coach's, Michael Kors's and Dooney's copyrighted pictures and some listings have multiple stolen pictures as well as some of the seller's own pics.

The use of stock photos is wrong even when pictures of the actual item are shown. Use of the stock photos is infringing on the rights owner's intellectual property and shouldn't be used.

Hi, I was wondering if this is authentic? The seller says it's a manufacturer's sample but I am still a bit leary and would rather be safe than sorry. I did a toolhaus.org search on her feedback score but that doesn't tell me if this bag is legit. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rt=nc&nma=true&item=170609584419&si=Fjv3B2mqih0IHcJGM5R53IK6jlw%253D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT#ht_9571wt_902

Item #: 170609584419
Seller ID: vipconsignment

Thank you in advance for your advice. :)
