Neither of those listings use the seller's own pictures. Some pictures are stolen stock photos and others are stolen from other sources.

Although the following ebay listing also uses stolen stock photos, it also has some of the other pictures used in the Kiiji listings. Whether the ebay seller's pictures are her own or not, I don't know but based on the fact that neither Kiiji seller uses her own photos, I don't recommend buying from them.

With stolen pictures, you have no idea what you'll get.
I can usually tell by reading the label closely. Fakes tend to have misspellings and the words run together. Unfortunately the picture isn't close enough for me to see.

As I pointed out when I looked at the listing last night, the pictures in the Kiiji listing don't belong to the seller of the bag that Pomergranate asked about.

So it doesn't matter whether you can read the creed or see the details well enough. It's not the bag that she'll receive.

Again, I don't recommend buying the bag from that Kiiji seller because the pictures aren't her own pictures of the actual bag.

I do have a correction/comment with regard to myishac's post. It isn't true that "fakes tend to have misspellings and the words run together." While this is sometimes the case, there are many instances of fakes with accurate spelling and spacing between words. There are also a few cases of authentic Coach bags with incorrect text.

Authenticating bags means evaluating all the various details of the bag. No one detail proves authentic or fake in and of itself.
 
Don't worry, there were maybe 2 or 3 genuine older styles where the Cs were set on a 45-degree angle. But when they're turned a complete 90 degrees, they're fake.


Geez, I feel so stupid for not seeing it right off! It took me a while but I see what you mean now.:p The listing was removed (:D) but someone beat me to listing it (& posted a pic from the auction) in the 'funniest/worst fakes' thread. After staring at it I FINALLY got it.
Thanks again for teaching me yet another thing about Coach!;)

Hello again, I think I have it now. Can you please authenticate and any other info on the items would be a huge help, Thanks!

The purse is fake - did you read the wording on the creed? If you bought that recently you need to get your money back. You may also want to check the most recent Fakes list at the "Answers..." thread, post 508 and save the link to you can use it as a reference.

The wallet and wristlet look ok but more opinions would help.

Thanks Hyacinth, I thought the purse was a fake. I did see that the poor grammar used on the creed but it was the 1st one I had seen made in that country and thought there might be a possibility. :( Thanks for the link and your opinions. Have a great night!

I am not familiar with the wallet but the wristlet looks fine.

The Fakes list also says that Coach has never made bags in Korea. Anything with only 5 digits in the serial number or that says Made in Korea is fake.

Seriously - save the link and print out the list, it can save you money and aggravation.
 
please authenticate. Tia!
