It is black on black with gold/brass hardware. Anything you can tell me about style or anything else would be appreciated.
Measurements: approximately 9" x 6" x 4" deep. 7" shoulder drop.

I'm not sure it's real. A few recent bags have had the wrong wording, but right now there is a flood of VERY accurate fakes coming through the Philippines, maybe from China, and anyone buying from Philippine sellers has to be REALLY careful.

Take a look at this other auction use a good magnifying glass if you have one to look at the creed patch:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-14505...849?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item19d1e99611

The shape of the patch itself is slightly different - the sides and corners are a bit rounded on the one you're asking about, but straight on the one I'm referring to. The creed on what I'll call the Real One has a prefix of a month code I can't read followed by 0993, and the creed looks like it says "made from the finest materials and leather". So it's not from the same plant, but the shape of the patch itself and quality and evenness of the creed stitching should be about the same.

Take a look at this one too:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-PEYTO...028?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item41662fe8ac
I know we always tell everyone not to base authenticity on the hangtag because they can be changed, but the one on "your" bag obviously belongs to it, and there are very slight differences between it and the one on the black bag.

I'm not sure yours is fake but it's a good possibility.

It also seems strange that Coach would use pink lining in a bag with orange leather trim. And I'm wondering why the seller has several designer name bags like Gucci but she isn't using the brand name in the auction title, they're listed as "GG". That usually means a seller is trying to avoid being noticed by Ebay.

Maybe anyone reading this who's familiar with Gucci styles can also take a look at this seller:
http://www.ebay.ph/sch/bag_minded/m..._trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649&_trksid=p4340.l2562
This seller had at least THREE confirmed FAKE GUCCI's here at tPF- this post and the next two:

This completed Coach may also have been fake:

And did you read the seller's Feedback at Toolhaus.org?
http://toolhaus.org/cgi-bin/negs?User=bag_minded&Dirn=Received+by&ref=home

Unfortunately it's hard to search our forums here because of the dash in the seller's name but DO NOT BUY FROM
BAG_MINDED , "BAG MINDED" OR ANY PHILIPPINE SELLER MENTIONED IN THE TOOLHAUS REPORT SUCH AS:

moonlight*05
The seller apparently lives in BAGUIO, Philippines

The more I see, the more sure I am that it's fake.
If you leave Feedback, please say that the bag was confirmed FAKE and you refused to pay.

I want to add some more names and warnings about this Philippine seller " BAG_MINDED ". They sell many different brand name fakes, not just Coach.

She changes her name the way other people change their socks. Several IDs have already been NARU'd including moonlight*05 and skyline*bag05

Current IDs that either belong to this seller or to someone she knows who may be shilling and/or leaving fake Feedback include:
gemline
designers_rack75
ian_nia
prettywoman_77
pines_bags
holy_bags
gypsy*princess
forever0708

The IDs have been reported to Ebay but sellers like this have plenty of spare IDs to use. I strongly recommend NOT BUYING from any of these IDs. And any seller located in the Philippines especially in the Baguio area, unless they have a long record of perfect sales, needs to be authenticated.

Sorry, I don't know anything about that style or have any photos of it. I hope someone else will be able to answer your question.

It looks ok but there just aren't enough photos of that style I can use for comparison. Please pay with a credit card through Paypal if you decide to buy it just to be safe.

It looks genuine, but did you see the damage on the back? You need to scroll through her photos of the bag to the third photo, or maybe this URL will work:

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...0921487821655.411342.694256654&type=1&theater

That kind of damage is going to get worse, the more that you use it, the larger the damaged area will get.
