Wanted to separate the next two items from the "pack" of ugly, almost certainly fake bags.

I recall a discussion about where Coach bags were made, but the search function didn't help me find what I needed - so what about these two?

Name: EXTREMELY RARE COACH AUTHENTIC MADE IN ITALY WHITE LEATHER HANDBAG PURSE NEW
Item: 320771700486
Seller: the-fairy-princess
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/EXTREMELY-R...WH_Handbags&hash=item4aaf7bb706#ht_528wt_1396

Comment from me: that creed tells me this isn't real, but I know all creeds aren't the same. This just feels like a scam to me.

Same seller again - this time it's with a bag from the U.S.

Name: COACH VINTAGE MADE IN USA LIME GREEN VGC UNIQUE HANDBAG PURSE LATCH ON TOP TOTE
Number: 320773940031
Seller: the-fairy-princess
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-VINTA...WH_Handbags&hash=item4aaf9de33f#ht_650wt_1396

Same seller, same feeling.

Thanks in advance, ladies!

*Sigh* A pitfall of one of ebay's recent and STUPID changes and non-improvements!

Now that the listing has ended, the only photo in the listing is the non-enlargeable gallery photo. Other pictures from the listing are no longer viewable.

In order to authenticate, we'll need to see the other pictures including a clear picture of the creed. (The seller has 2 other lisitngs for the same style but one doesn't have enough pics and the other doesn't show a legible creed.)

Yet another of ebay's non-improvements - I am logged in to ebay via secure log in, yet after EVERY screen I was asked for a "verification" code when I was reporting from the fakes thread! Takes 3 times as long to report now!

Oh no, am asking the seller for the pics now that my internet is finally loading pages again, shes lovely to communicate with and I feel bad scrutinizing her but it is better to be safe than sorry!! She said she's been selling bags on ebay for the past 10 years and everything she sells is authentic. She does have 100% positive feedback, I'm sure her goods are authentic, but getting everything authenticated on the purse forums makes me feel a little better about what I'm buying.

Thank you so much for authenticating the previous listing as well. :)

It's a good idea to have all listing authenticated until you feel comfortable enough that you can recognize a "good" fake. But even still, even honest sellers can make a mistake and purchase and resell a fake.

With the exception of the bold-faced red listing, all are fake.

Please wait for Hyacinth to comment on the makeup pouch.

Awesome! Thanks - reporting & posting everything else!

I always authenticate if I buy any where outside a Coach store! You ladies are angels for guiding us!

My eyes were bleeding from the fakes I saw on a recent trip to Nassau! I soooooooooooooooooo wish I would have had my phone to get some pics! It's so totally stupid, because the full price Coach store in Nassau has an actual SALE FLOOR! (Yes, I'm wishing I had an extra $5,000 to blow!)

If you really like style 8K49 and plan to get the black one with turquoise lining, here's a listing (already sold) for an authentic item from a trusted seller.

The seller shows TONS of pictures so you can compare the details to the listings you've found. (So far, I don't see any problems with the ones you've shown. I'd just feel more comfortable waiting for a second "thumbs up" opinion on them.)

I'm confused. This one has the "M" (NoF05M-8K40) on the patch. Not trying to be difficult, just want to understand if this is an indicator of a fake. Thanks.

Hmm. I recommend waiting for Hyacinth to comment on this one. As I commented earlier, this style is a scary-well-faked style. Personally, unless I was 100% sure that the bag originally came from a legitimate retailer our Coach outlet, I'd be hesitant to buy it.
