All I have to see is that Coach stamp in the corner of the flap. FAKE. On the few bags that have one of those stamps, it's always in the center no matter whether it's at the top or bottom.

Plus - wrinkled "elephant-skin" leather, fake Organizer pocket, ALWAYS-fake cell phone holder - please report.

Hi ladies

Would someone mind checking something out for me please.
I am STILL trying to find my large sophia and would like to check 2 bags for authenticity.

I find it really strange that both of these bags from different sellers seem to have the same creed number...unless its me... and it could well be (its an age thing)

Is that possible??
The details are
bag1...lge black sophia 15955
seller mldsj3
no 280895575965
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280895575965?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2648

bag 2
large black sophia 15955
seller buttercup2104
no 310399625390
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310399625390?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2648
The creed is not too clear on the second bag but they both look like the same number to me??

Thanks ladies

Hello ladies! Are any of these bags fake? I'm in the process of trying to get the stamping on the inside of the brown bag from the seller:

Bag One:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/100161032/coach-crossbody-bag-vintage-british-tan

Bag Two:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/1007385...a_min=0&ga_max=0&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all

Bag Three:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/9971636...in=0&ga_max=0&ga_ref=auto5&ga_search_type=all

None of them look particularly fake to me, but I'm not an expert. Also, did this style change the number of inside pockets/dividers over the years (e.g. the black ones have two pockets inside, the brown one has one)?

Thanks for any help!!

Thgere's nothing strange or suspicious about 2 or more of the same items made after 1994 having the same numbers. You need to understand what those numbers mean and when they meant it. Did you read somewhere that all Coaches should have different numbers?

SALEAREA GUIDES

Serial Numbers:

Creeds;

I don't see any red flags with either one, but more opinions would help.

All three are completely different styles, there's no reason why the pockets wouldn't be different. Don't compare Coach bags unless they're exactly the same style.

The first one can't be authenticated without a photo of the creed and serial number.

The second seller copied the details and description in her listing from another listing or another seller - notice the serial number she gives in the description 067-2008 doesn't match the one in the bag. I wouldn't bid without asking for clarification as to which bag she's actually selling. If it's NOT the one with the 0703-216 serial number as shown in the photos, I'd ask for photos of the actual bag being sold.

The third one seems ok but there's no evidence in the Coach literature that it's a Bonnie Cashin design.

A new adventure for me...can you authenticate this Coach wristlet?
Paid $3.99 at Goodwill today.
Approx 6"w x 4"h and not very thick! Strap including dog leash: 13"
Has black fabric tag inside: MADE IN CHINA
And I think I see an Outlet Bullseye on the strap (pic with hangtag)
Any info is much appreciated. (I'm waaaay outside my arena here!)
Thanks in advance!
