Please authenticate. The creed is iffy, the zipper is nylon and has a very flimsy odd-shaped pull, and the strap is thin and double sided.

Total fake, for all the above reasons plus the fake overstamping lines above and below the serial numbers. The number is also on my Fake Serial Numbers list:

Scroll about halfway down the first post:
"0444-317, 0444-316 AND 0444-315 and possibly others beginning with 0444 - some "classic" fakes are showing up with these numbers and have a number of mistakes in the creed stamps and on the bags themselves. Assume they're all fake.
Any 'classic' leather bags with the # 0444-31(X) and heavy horizontal lines both above and below the numbers is fake.
0212-578 and 1212-578 with and without the same fake "Overstamping" lines have also recently shown up..."

Do you own it or is it being sold some place where it can be reported?

Coach Ashley Satchel in teal.

I think the bag and scarf is legit, but is the FOB? I'm trying to determine if I'm getting a decent deal or I should hold out for something cheaper.

Thanks!

still can't post pics yet, so links are below.

Does the seller actually say the Fob was made by Coach? If they did, then it's fake. If they didn't, no harm, no foul.

I can't help with the bag or the scarf, sorry. We need to see the seller's other listings.

I bought it on ebay without seeing the creed but I did have the number. I just forgot to check the fake number guide. I thought I was getting a pre 1994 bag for a bargain. It is a pretty good fake. If I didn't have plenty of real ones to compare it to, I think I would have been fooled.

No problem though, the seller takes returns. When he relists it, then it can be reported. He does have another one listed now but no number shown. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Purse...259?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item20c655a1f3

Whoops - sorry. So worried about the extra pics I forgot the link.

you are right, they don't claim the fob to be coach, so all good there. i did find a post on here of someone who bough the scarf at the factory store.

thanks

I am concerned about my silver legacy Bridgit. My purple Bridgit and others I have seen listed on ebay have wide striped lining, but my silver one has thinner stripes. Both of mine were made in the same factory in the same month. Everything else matches in terms of quality. I couldn't find any pictures of another silver one to compare.

You can't compare different style bags, whether or not they were made at the same plant.

There are 2 listed on Ebay with the same differences.

Thanks! The silver one looks just like mine. I was sure it was real, but I didn't understand why they would use a different fabric for the lining, just for this color.

Did you see that note in the first listing? "Any removal of my items will result in legal action."

There's no way to be sure just from the photo but I'm seeing rivets where there shouldn't be any, and the strap is too thin. The stitching on the edge of the flap doesn't look right either. The one you bought has the same thin strap and non-Coach stitching and probably the same fake rivets on the sides near the top.

ALWAYS get a creed photo.

We strongly advise everyone to AVOID buying from seller EASYBUYS4U

Item: COACH authentic handbag
Listing number: 251075448236
Seller: COACH authentic handbag
Link: http://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_nkw...&item=251075448236&_osacat=0&_ssn=nmitura5911
Comments: Please authenticate. This seller has four of the same bag. TIA!

Wow. With that seller's Feedback record, why would anyone even buy from them? And any time a seller keeps hitting you over the head with the word "authentic" it's about a 50-50 chance that their junk is fake.

DO NOT BUY FROM SELLER nmitura5911

The bag in all the listing photos is fake. Several of the patches are wrong, like the Sig C patch at the bottom just to the right of center, the solid dark tan near the center to the left, the bottom left corner, the top purple patch doesn't have a Coach logo, etc, and most of the others are the wrong shape or texture. The "leather straps are a bit too wide and so are the grommets for the buckle holes and there should be FOUR buckle holes in each strap, not three. If you look at Coach's photo you can just see the top of the fourth grommet right above the "keeper". The stitching right at the top of the strap extensions that go down the bag is wrong, the buckles are the wrong design and the wrong shape - there's more but that should be enough to file a report. Here's Coach's photo, style 10437:

Item: "Coach" orange wristlet - unique fun double zipper leather
Listing number: 150829314856
Seller: kidsgilligirl
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-orang...56?pt=Wallet&hash=item231e20b328#ht_500wt_922

I would appreciate it if someone take a look at this and tell me if it real or not. I suspect not simply because of the description and the fact the seller has sold other Coach items so she isn't unfamiliar with Coach. Tia!!! =]
