Hello all! One of my eBayer's wants to verify authenticity of a Coach purple clutch with silver signature on it. Of course there is no creed in it but I purchased it in the Coach Outlet for $98 in Grove City, PA. Long story short, can my Coach experts authenticate it so I can send her the page to show her authenticity? Here is my site on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Coach-Purple-Cl...520?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item3366f93668 If for some reason it doesn't work, please put in "Coach purple clutch" and it is the purple clutch with silver C's and kiss lock. Thanks so much, ladies! MWAH.
It looks fine.

Item: preowned COACH 12300 White Leather Soho very nice $300
Listing number: 120695315066
Seller: treasurequeen92

Comments: I already have Soho Leather Flap Bag F12300 for myself, but my 12 year daughter wanted a purse like me so I was looking on ebay and found this bag. My concern is that at first glance, it looks like my bag but closer inspection, it doesn't. The leather strap looks off, the buckle looks strange and the interior is signature fabric. My bag, which is the parchment, has solid color lining. I know the lining may not mean much but every bag I have seen like mine in parchment, all have the solid, toffee color lining. I have never seen one that had signature lining in the parchment/toffee combo. The creed patch does not say what mine says, or any of the other bags I have seen say. Mine and the others say milled cowhide but this bag says natural cowhide. Also, the leather of the bag itself looks weird. The seller has excellent feedback but if it is fake, maybe she doesn't realize? I don't know. Thanks in advance!

There's NOTHING wrong with the bag in the photo. it's NOT a style 12300, it's style 9248 which is stamped very clearly on the creed patch. It's also 4 years older than yours and made of different leather. They are 2 totally different bags and you can't ever compare bags unless they have the same style number and were made in the same plant in the same month and year.

Please, before you start thinking that something's fake, learn how to read a creed and serial number - there's plenty of information in the Answers to Authenticity Questions thread. And understand that just because a seller uses a style or serial number in their listing doesn't mean it's correct.

Comments: I am almost positive this is counterfeit; seller said he didn't have time to tell me what it said on the creed. I just want confirmation if I can report him. His other listing looked more obviously fake.

Thanks
 
Would love help with this one. I was told that it was bought at the outlet Black Friday. I received it in the mail today and the main thing that I go by, as a novice, is the C's not lining up on the seams. They do not and it made me wonder enough to post here. Any assistance would be greatly appreciate. (Please note: I couldn't get the color to show up quite right on this.)

All are fake. Report away!

It's authentic. Patterns aren't always matched on side seams. It's impossible due to the size and repeat of the pattern.

For future reference, please post requests in the format requested in post #1 of the thread.

Wherever you read the information that "the Cs have to line up at the seams" please ignore that and ANY other similar "rules" you might have found from the same source or from anywhere else on the internet. Almost every one of those so-called Authenticity Rules are just plain wrong either all or most of the time.

Coach does NOT line up their seams either inside or outside the bag except for the center front and center back seams and even then there are bags and entire fabric families that don't follow that rule. And the more they try to save money by cutting production costs, the less the seams are going to line up.

Please read my Signature at the bottom of all my posts and remember it every time you come across some "Guide" that claims to be able to tell you if a Coach is real or fake by what it looks like - there are NO such rules, and never will be. And even for every Rule that Coach follows most of the time, there are always going to be exceptions.

There's nothing wrong with the bag you bought. In fact if you Search Ebay for "Coach 15146" you'll find dozens of the same style which is a very good indicator that it was recently at Coach's Factory Store outlets.
