And here is another I have an offer in on...Pictures are NOT GOOD, but do you see any red flags?

Seller: copchick2010

I don't believe it's authentic. The pictures are too blurry to see much but I have doubts about the creed. There's something about the creed that we see in fakes.

Unless the seller is able to send more very clear pictures, I would recommend retracting your bid.

If you request pictures, please ask for pictures of the hardware on the front, from the handle down to the d-ring on the bag, a clear picture of the horse and carriage plaque, pictures of all the hangtags, clear creed picture, a photo of the strap and a picture of the clip on the side of the bag.

I asked the seller if she had a picture of the entire creed but she says she has a policy to only show the last 4 digits due to replication concerns as well as a few others. Guarantees the bag is authentic.....should I be concerned.

A seller who has "replication concerns" and won't show a full picture of the creed is one who doesn't know much about Coach and therefore probably wouldn't know whether a bag is authentic or not.

If she knew Coach, she'd understand how important it is to see a full creed including the font, text and full serial number.

If you're interested in the bag, you might want to suggest that the seller come here to have her "replication" concerns addressed.

Otherwise, she's costing herself sales to educated buyers.

I wouldn't bid on her items if she doesn't comply with your request.

What does she think a fakes-maker is going to steal from a serial number? Sheesh, I've heard that excuse before and it's total nonsense.

Tell her sorry but unless she can post the entire creed photo so your authenticator can check it, you're not comfortable bidding. And suggest that she register here so she can learn the actual facts about creeds and serial numbers.

Thanks for the sage advice Hyacinth and BB!
I did tell her that I would need to see the entire creed so that I could authenticate before I bid....have yet to hear back. Will direct her to the forum if I do :-)

I have a few more but it turns out they're from the same seller and it looks like the same bags but in different colors. Actually on closer inspection they may have slight variations but I'm sure you could see it much more clearly than I. Does having so many from the same seller raise any red flags?

Hi, I received this as a gift last week and would like your help to validate if this bag is the real thing. I've attached 5 photos of the bag taken at different angles including one of the creed. Bag is made in China.

Thanks for your help
