Sorry, sometimes we miss one.

The first one looks like a genuine Ranch Bag from around 1990, the second like a genuine Stewardess Bag from 2002.

VERY big FAKE! No wonder she didn't show the creed stamp!

We say it over and over but it can never be said too many times - never buy or bid without a clear photo of the creed stamp, and authentication by someone familiar with Coach creeds. This one has a style number -521 that belongs to a leather Backpack, not a purse. Also both the month AND the Plant codes are invalid.

You seriously need to write a book about Coach bags, you're incredible.

Item: Coach orange wristlet - unique fun double zipper leather
Listing number: 150832572933
Seller: kidsgilligirl
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-orang...r-/150832572933?pt=Wallet&hash=item231e526a05

Comments: Well she did re-list the wristlet and in this re-listing she doesn't say she's unsure if it's real. I'm not sure if she still is unsure but doesn't say that or if she's had it authenticated and is sure.
Please take a look and see if it's real or not. Tia!

I can't say 100 percent that I'm sure it's real, but I don't see any problems and Coach did make very similar styles a few years ago.

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/2808955759...84.m1438.l2648

bag 2
large black sophia 15955
seller buttercup2104
no 310399625390
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3103996253...84.m1436.l2648
The creed is not too clear on the second bag but they both look like the same number to me??

Thanks ladies

jaci

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?

Serial Numbers:

Creeds;

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

Thanks very much for checking this for me..I didnt read anywhere that the numbers should be different, I assumed they would be in order to authenticate each bag...I know now :smile1:

1- seems ok

2- Hard to tell from photos, but the seller's other items seem genuine.

3- looks ok, but it's a smaller bag called a pouch so pay attention to the measurements

4- seems ok

5- we need to see a clear photo of the creed patch and serial number

Thanks so much!! :D Stupid question, but if it says tags are attached and it clearly shows a coach tag (white I mean) isn't that authentic? No brainer?? Or can peeps fake those tags too?

Thanks again, you're awesome!

Absolutely NOT! Fakes have real-looking fake price tags, creed patches, hangtags, EVERYTHING. Think about any item or add-on you'd find on a bag - just how hard, or maybe I should say "how easy". do you think it would be to fake? Especially for professional crooks who can fake LV bags that even trained LV sales associates can't spot!

My Sig asks "How hard is it to fake a zipper?" - well, how hard is it to fake a stamp (even an outlet stamp), or a piece of paper, or a store receipt, or a hangtag?

ANYTHING A MAKER CAN MAKE, A FAKER CAN FAKE. Anything.
