1. Probably okay.
2. Not enough pictures of a highly faked style. Seller's first (gallery) picture is a stock photo stolen from Coach and the other pictures are too far away to see detail. There should be several additional pictures of the actual wallet.
3. Probably okay but the paper should be removed so we can see all the parts of the wallet.
4. I don't recommend iconictrends because the seller doesn't show pictures of the actual items in all of the listings. Listings only have one stolen stock photo. Seller's items are all highly faked styles and brands so there's no telling what the buyer will receive.

thank you BB!!
 
Weird zipper pull on a Madison Sophia? Can you authenticate?

Item: Coach 15935 Madison Dot Op Art Sophia Satchel EC! $298
Listing Number: 290556548369
Seller: b_and_me
Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290556548369

Comments: Impulsively and foolishly I purchased this item. Note the zipper pull...Sophia is supposed to have a leather pull, to my knowledge. There is also a "made in China" small black tag on the inside with white letters, which my other Sophia doesn't have. (I know, means nothing but it's additional details). Hangtags removed; wondering if the pull was pirated as well.

THANK YOU!
 
See, here is the DD. It has a leather one.

And I just checked out a cobalt and a teal and there is no tag inside the bag. The fakes have a "Coach <3 Poppy" tag inside, but I cannot see that part of the tag.

Wow. I am floored. :(

EDited after reading PCL's response: I think the zipper pull was either "borrowed" or lost and was replaced with a different one: http://www.auctiva.com/hostedimages...166566&formats=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0&format=0

I'm not familiar enough with the style to do a side by side comparison but I don't see any obvious red flags concerning authenticity.

It appears that the seller may buy overstock and customer returns and this may have been such an item. For a long time, I've suspected that customers buy bags and return them sans hangtags and charms and that might be the reason for the missing hangtags.

Please wait for other opinions on the zipper pull and bag.
