I fixed the first link. You had the link going to the second seller's listing.

Please wait for other opinions on the wallets. Wallets are tricky and I don't want to mislead you and see you scammed.

Based on what I see, I don't see any red flags.

I do have a comment on seller #1, mkxyn88. I'm not fond of the seller's use of stock photos in so many of her listings. Even those that have additional pictures shouldn't be using Coach's copyrighted images.

I agree. One of the red flags for a Coach fake is when something's coming loose or has gone missing that's an important part of the structure of the bag. Coach may sometimes have problems with discoloring or flaking leather or fabric fraying but usually the structural parts are solid - a handle rivet missing doesn't sound right. I've seen way too many other fakes where something's torn, loose or broken that shouldn't be.

And just going by the others on Ebay, I agree with BeenBurned about the creed - it's too puffy. The other ones look thinner and flatter on top and the stamping isn't as deep. Interestingly there's only one other one for sale with the same small rivets BeenBurned mentioned and it has serious color issues and the creed also looks puffy. It looks like it has an outlet stamp so either the stamp is fake (it DOES look smaller than it should be) or someone did a switcheroo either at the boutique or the outlet. This is the one I'm wondering about:

Now compare the creed and rivets to the others:

And here's one from the same plant, month and year as the possible fake we've been talking about but the two creeds look very different:

thanks this one was a strange one for me. I took a second look at the creed and it does seem puffy along with the missing rivet I don't think I need any more signs. She said she would sell it for $50 since ebay closed it and she thinks its a fake. I turned it down I will not own a fake no matter if it has a slight possibility of being authentic.

The creed looks off to me. But I'm far from an expert!

I must say you ladys noticed the puffy creed and it completely slipped my mind to notice that tid bit Thanks :) thats why I asked in here
BeenBurned said:
Please wait for other opinions but I don't believe it's authentic for several reasons.

1. The puffiness of the creed is suspect.
2. The studs on both the handle and on the bag appear to be smaller and rounder than they should be.
3. Stitching doesn't look quite right.

I'm not sure of this, but I dont' believe the bag came with gold/brass colored hardware. I think the hardware on the black bag is supposed to be silver.

And I have a comment regarding the seller's attitude about the price she says she paid. IMO, $200 is a lot of money and I'd sure as he[[ have my bag authenticated and fight for a refund if I'd been scammed for that much money!

There's no way I'd eat that loss, at least not willingly.

I hope Starry (or someone else who has this bag) will stop by with an opinion.

The first one looks ok but we need more photos of the Court Bag including the creed.

And Court Bags have had straps of different lengths over the years.
