I'm not familiar with the item so I can't comment on the authenticity however, personally, I wouldn't buy from this seller.

All her items are supposedly new but all are without tags. Although it's possible to have an occasional new item with a missing tag, I see red flags with all NWOT items, all highly faked items and all private listings.

And in fact, there have been questions about some of the seller's items and her sources. This post is in reference to Juicy Couture, but there are red flags in her "wholesale" comment:

Hello,

I am new to this site and am searching for any information on the small wristlet/handbag I just purchased from a local thrift store. It was sold to me as an authentic Coach. However, there are no serial numbers, nor any markings of it being a coach. It is made very well, stitches are perfect and the liner looks great. There is one tag on the inside of the main compartment that states "Made In China". It is approx. 6" Wide and 5" High.

I visited the Coach store today and was told they could not tell me whether it was a fake or authentic due to it being against company policy, but the sales person went into great detail telling me about the hardware on the wristlet mimicking " Bonnie Cashin" hardware. Both sales girls seem to be pretty impressed by this little bag. I am almost positive it is authentic, but I have never seen one of these.

Any thoughts anyone??

Please post pictures. We can't authenticate from a description. You can either use the "manage attachments" function here or you can upload your pictures to a photohosting site like photobucket and post the IMG links.

It's probably authentic, but has no links to Bonnie Cashin. This one was probably made in the last 5 years and was more than likely one of the many items made for sale during the fall and winter holiday season. Maybe someone else will be able to identify it.

Loved this necklace and its colors. No printed Coach on the back of the flowers.
If you can see it by this # is it a real Coach piece of Jewlery?

I have a poor-quality photo of the similar bracelet from Coach's files, but only one flower is similar between the two pieces, and I don't know if that's a red flag or not. Wouldn't it be more normal to have the same flowers on both pieces? I don't buy Coach jewelry and don't know anything about how it's designed. The "New Without Tags" on everything would make me hit the Back button though.

Wow, the way the sales person talked about the hardware linked to Bonnie Cashin was misleading : ( Also, you would think she would know if something about a bag that was sold in the past 5 years... Also want to ask... Coach doesn't name a holiday item??

So glad I found you guys, thank you so much!!
