Here's Coach's photo:



Damn, now you've got me wondering too. I noticed those right off the bat and actually had a "Fake!" reply written up, but then decided to take another look. Now after a THIRD look, I'm seeing a few more things that are close but not quite all there, like the size of the ring that the lower end of the clip attaches to (might just be a trick of the lighting though, the other O-rings seem to be the right size), and the shape of the top of the hangtag. If it's fake, it's the closest copy of that style that I've seen. The C pattern looks a bit "off" too but maybe that's just the lack of stuffing.

It's really hard to understand why any crook would bother faking something that already looks fake. Maybe there wasn't that much adjusting to do? Did those even sell well enough to bother faking them?

I'm just going to say Questionable, the creed doesn't show any red flags at all that I can see.

For my comps, I've compared to this listing:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-1470-...339?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item41616f875b

Another slight difference I noticed (and it may be just the angle of the picture) is the suede square on the back of the strap appears to be more of an elongated rectangle than square:

And the creeds, although from the same month and plant, don't look quite alike to me.

I'm also a bit bothered by the slight misalignment of the pattern across the top of the pink bag, both front and back, as compared to the blue one.

ETA: Here's another picture that shows that the bottom ring (that the clip attaches to) seems to look much thinner on the pink bag than on the blue one.

OK, I'm convinced. Those are the first photos I've seen of an apparently real one for comparison.

Well, I have to admit that when this previous listing was posted, I saw that seller krisk504 had ended her listing. My thoughts were "we have an honest seller who did the right thing.

Well, krisk504 has relisted the fake and is not a seller to be trusted:

Hi, I know this is not the right place to ask but is it normal for a seller to take 2 weeks to send an item and even that I don't even know if she has sent the package or not.I have not received any notification from paypal/ebay that the item has been shipped. I always received an email letting me know that the item has been shipped. thanks

edit : Just got the tracking.. what a relief but still no notification from paypal/ebay?
Some sellers don't use tracking, which can be a serious problem when sellers deal with less-than-honest buyers.

You might want to post your problem here because 2 weeks is way too long to wait to ship an item.

Item: Black/black signature wallet
Seller: Savers $10
Size: 4” by 4.5”

Comments: I will post additional pics with the next message. This little wallet is very clean and it appears that it was hardly used. When I found it I felt that it was an authentic FP item, but I know that wallets are often faked so I would very much like to hear your opinions. If it is genuine, I would greatly appreciate any information you may have about it (e.g., style, year, original price, anything!) Thanks so much!
