It's probably just the materials. Those styles were made for the Outlets and designed more as a summer bag / baby bag / beach tote than a handbag and meant to be easy to clean and water-resistant rather than fashionable which is why PVC is used for the body of the bag instead of leather. I have a checkbook-style multicase wallet from the same line and it does feel less expensive than the fabric and leather ones. But yours both look genuine and I haven't seen any evidence yet of that line being counterfeited.

The first is already ended, but the seller illegally "borrows" Coach's stock photos and often that's the only photo in the listing. We NEVER recommend buying from a seller who uses someone else's copyrighted images and doesn't take his own photos since the item in the photo isn't the exact item you'll receive.

The second one looks genuine.

I'm not familiar with the third style and really can't help, sorry. Wait for more opinions.

Again, the fourth seller is using Coach's copyrighted photos for the Galley pic and shouldn't be. There don't seem to be any other red flags but wait for more opinions.

The use of stock photos is a real pet peeve of mine too so my comments would be along the same lines.

Regarding seller #3, I don't recommend nanotron9999 either. Although the pictures in the listing in question appear to be actual pictures of someone's wallet, this seller has a history of stealing pictures from other sellers as well as using stock photos (only) in many of her listings.

For example, these listings only use a stolen stock photo:
http://cgi.ebay.com/POPPY-BLACK-LEA...660?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item45f89fbd3c
and
http://cgi.ebay.com/NWT-COACH-KHAKI...129?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item45f9641c99

One red flag (IMO) is that the descriptions solicit off-ebay business and whatever quantities the buyers want to buy. Although she may have a contact who can get what she wants, I raises my radar.

The stitching on the leather is wrong, the lining is TOTALLY wrong and should never have Cs or logos when the outside of the bag is all Cs, the leather on the creed patch and the spacings of the words are wrong and many words run together, the hardware should NOT have Coach's name stamped all over it, and last time I checked, there was a "T" at the end of the word "commitment". And "suPerior" is spelled with one P and only TWO Rs, not three.

Get your money back, you were ripped off. And always read the creed before you buy - Coach bags usually don't have spelling, spacing or punctuation errors.

That's your decision. But you may want to do some Googling using terms like " counterfeits terrorism child labor " before deciding if you really want to carry something that supports the counterfeiting industry even indirectly.

I STRONGLY suggest that you read the articles that come up in that search.
