Hi Experts!

I have never purchased a Coach bag before but since I am a handbag junkie, my boyfriend wanted me to help him look for this Coach bag for his mom. The Coach website itself sold out of this style, so I found several on eBay. However, I have no clue how to look at a Coach bag. Please help...I am very sorry there are several links here. :-)

All appear to be fine though I would have liked to have seen creeds for #4 and #6.

That, and the fake hangtag, the "made in the US" creed in a bag with an extra-large turnlock that wouldn't have been used before around 2006, and the REALLY bad stitching in the hangtag pic and on the straps. About the only red flag it doesn't have is the Coach stamp on the turnlock.

Yea! This time they removed it.

Hello! Can anyone tell me anything about this clutch I picked up for a song? I think it is a Soho style. Thanks!

Ok so I know this is authentic coming from salearea but I had to do a double take when I first scrolled through the pics!
I think I have now seen everything related to quality control misses. Just goes to show that even authentic vintage items can have some issues.

L...O...L...!!!!! I totally forgot about that bag and didn't realize that we had listed it yet. Chelsea (the person at our office who wrote this description) definitely needed to elaborate on the fact that the number patch is upside down! We actually had a discussion about the bag before the pictures were taken trying to figure out how it happened too.

Hi, I'm interested in these 2 bags. Are they authentic? Many thanks.

Coach Purse Handbag Black with Wool Trim, EUC
Listing number: 110784066460
Seller: kein_nieves4fig

Item: Coach Messenger bag 9870

Neither listing shows a photo of the creed and serial number, and we don't recommend, nor can we be 100 percent sure of authenticity, without clear photos.

The first one is probably a Bleecker Tweed Demi Zip from around 1999-2000 and looks ok pending a good creed photo.

The second one has an invalid serial number in the listing, but a LOT of sellers can't read or just mis-type those numbers. It's impossible to say if the bag's real or fake without a clear creed and serial number photo.

I talked myself out of buying it since I only wanted it for the upside down patch LOL! It just looks too perfect to be something that someone glued back on...
Funny enough I was searching for something vintage that would be big enough to put my blackberry playbook in and that one came up near the top of the search I was doing. So glad I checked it out it was a pretty cool find if someone at Coach really did glue it in upside down!
