Comments: Rude seller had a fake kate spade for sale and was selling it for the same price as this one. Just wondered if it was genuine.


I am NOT one of the experts on this board but I think that bag looks bad- not sure about that white patch on the front plus the C's aren't centered. Def. wait for expert advice tho!

OOPS- and 2nd pic shows sig C's lining and they had this convo the other day- Coach doesn't make items with sig C's on outside & inside.

Sorry, it's a VERY bad fake. The stitching around the creed patch is sloppy and the cutting around the edges even worse. That gaudy printed lining was never used by Coach, the style was never made by Coach, and The C pattern isn't correctly centered. The month code is a fake and also never used by Coach, and I don't think the leather's real. There are other obvious problems but those are the basics.

Contact the seller and demand a full refund. And from now on, ask here BEFORE you buy. Don't embarrass yourself by carrying such an obvious fake in public.

1- for some reason the seller's photos won't enlarge and there's no way to see any details. Small photos like that can also be a sign that the photos were stolen from another source.

2- the second one looks ok but more opinions would help.
 
It's hard to say for sure, the prefix of that serial number appears in both genuine bags and fakes, and I'm not familiar enough with the Maggie Duffle to know what red flags to look for.

Can you tell if all the metal hardware is brass? Or do the metal grommets surrounding the holes made for the strap buckles look like more of a silver color?

If any posters have a Maggie Duffle for comparison, their opinions are welcome.

I don't think this is a Maggie Duffle because it is shaped more like a bucket bag. Yes the hardware is brass colored and the grommets are also brass in color

I have reported it. Could you do the same? Or did you already? That seller is a nasty individual who does not care about defrauding people!

Yes, I reported it and I'm sure other posters here will too.

Seller melissab91370 apparently doesn't care about following the rules OR satisfying her customers.

Style # 9019 belongs to a Maggie Duffle.

Maggie Duffles like Duffle Sacs are shaped a lot like buckets. So if the bag in the photos isn't a Maggie Duffle, then it's fake. If the dimensions of your style 9019 don't match the ones in Coach's catalog, then it's fake - although trying to measure that kind of bag can result in a big variance in dimensions.

BTW, here's Coach's photo of both the Maggie Duffle and the Duffle Sac.
The second and third photos were called Bucket bags, from the Lightweight line.
