Authenticate this COACH

[Hyacinth]

Thank you so very much. I was hoping you would be up tonight.

So did they tell you why they thought it wasn't genuine?

I was thinking the same thing.

Seller describes it as a wristlet but I don't see a wrist strap. And based on the scale of what appears to be an (?) attached keyring, the size of the pouch looks more like a mini skinny than a wristlet.

Can you ask the seller for more pictures? I'd like to see the inside lining as well as how the keyring and the heart are attached.

Coach did make a couple white leather wristlets, one with a red heart applique and another with red and pink hearts, but didn't look like this item.

Again, I'd love to see additional pix.

More pictures have been added. And title changed It was a (mimi wristlet) keychain, That is what I was told me. To stop confusion I have renamed it also. Please check it out and see that nothing has been added. Thank you.

Is this bag authentic?

More photos. Grommets, rings and zipper pull are stamped coach. The Creed is difficult to see but in strong light reads "This is a Coach Bag. It was handcrafted in China from the finest materials trimmed with genuine leather. Its superior craftsmanship and attention to detail reflect our commitment to eduring quality." However, the Number is really short, only 3940.

And finally, the lining and inside pocket.....What's the verdict ? Any clue as to the name of the style and pattern ?

Please post a link to your original question or the listing. I'm not finding any recent posts so I have no idea what we're talking about.

Sorry but that bag is fake.

Authenticate this purse:

Item:COACH lot of 3 Poppy & Sateen
Listing number:230607121633
Seller: shopdbo
Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/COACH-lot-3-Poppy-Sateen-/230607121633?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35b1416ce1

Comments: The seller has 5 listings of 3 purses each. In each one, it seems like the style number on at least one the purses is wrong. She said she bought these at a closeout center of Macy's, and those were the numbers on the tags. The center bag is the one I'm not sure about.

Thanks!

Ok, I need some help. Not too familiar with tattersall.

This says it's for sale by a tpf member, so seller, if you see this, I'm just double checking!

Thanks!

Since no one else has responded yet, I thought I would let you know what I think. I am not an expert, so you should wait for their opinion. However, I have seen both of these items in person, and they look exactly like they appear in the pictures. None of the other listings of the seller raise any red flags. You can see how the tattersall pattern is perfectly centered. The lining is the correct color.

Thanks for the response! I wasn't sure what the trick to ID-ing tattersall was; thanks for pointing out that the pattern should be centered. Makes sense.

Let me point out that high-quality fakes can have the pattern centered too, and something like that should only be used as ONE factor in making a decision. And MOST fakes have lining that's the correct color.

Factors like this that are childs play to fake do NOT prove that something's genuine. It's usually the SMALL details in creeds and hardware that are red flags, not pattern alignment and color. The fakes makers know all about lining up patterns, the only thing that stops the low and mid range fakes makers from doing it is the expense. The AAA and 7-star fakes makers WILL spend the money to align the fabrics.

And again, plenty of sellers with good records have sold fakes - take the time to look at the "Funny Fakes" thread and look at the records of the sellers. A LOT of them have 100 percent Feedback.

Of course. Thanks.

I just meant that it made sense that on the genuine article the pattern would be centered, not that that proved it is real.

Do you think the high quality fake makers make a lot of these lower priced items? After all, you can buy these items at a Coach factory store for $20 to $40. If I were a top counterfeiter, I would concentrate on the high priced items.
It is true that a lot of sellers with good records have sold fakes. But I wanted to point out that I think the majority of them don't know they are selling fakes.
