Oh dear, your comment about "bubble gum pink" bags has me a bit worried. I posted a "baby blue" Stewardess bag in the Coach Finds section, is it a fake too?

There are a couple of details I'm not comfortable with. Generally, unusual colors are tricky. It may be a limited color but I can't find it in either of the 2 catalogs I have for that year or the next. And I'd like to see better photos of the hardware especially the grommets on the strap holes and the metal pieces at the bottom of the bag, one of them doesn't look like it matches the others.

There's no proof that it's fake but there aren't enough of the right photos to authenticate it either, sorry.

Please report it for Disclaimer of Authenticity, and I'll report it as counterfeit. Hopefully ONE of them will get it removed.

The Ergos were highly faked, and available colors depended on the year of manufacture. But Bubble Gum Pink was NOT a standard Coach color back then.

The first seller is obviously a picture thief - do NOT buy from MERCVIRGO

You're welcome.


mercvirgo is a picture thief who stole the picture from shopdotstyle. If you look at the other listings, you'll see that shopdotstyle uses the same background in most of her listings.

Don't buy from mercvirgo. There's no telling what you'll get since you aren't seeing the actual item.

Thanks again Hyacynth and BeenBurned. That's exactly what I thought. I messaged both sellers with my concerns. No Reponse from pic thief. Sheesh!!! Doesn't she think we shop good and hard and will notice these things??

I missed the listing so I don't know what it looked like but is this a relisted item with minimal title, description and pictures?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-/130628042140?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item1e6a09bd9c

Nevermind. I see that the original listing was for an Ergo bag.

No, the City Bag is a different item and may be genuine. The fake Ergo listed by distinctive03 was one of the Ergo Minis, only about 6x7 inches and in a true Double Bubble Bubble Gum Pink color - hard to miss!

Thank you, I've posted a caution in the Finds section.

Hi! I recently received this bag after jumping and buying it before authentication. I believe it is a Madison Patent Cobalt Sabrina. Is this authentic? TIA!
