I think this may be the first fake Kristin I've seen. I'd like confirmation from our other posters just to be 100 percent safe and I'll also post this at the reporting thread but it's always good to know what kind of junk is floating around in Ebay Hyperspace.

Please report.

It's a surprisingly close fake except for a few obvious mistakes, including a bogus serial number and a style number 12988 that belongs to a fabric Crossbody, pic below, although all the fakes-selling sites seem to use it for a Holly print Madison. I'd guess that the seller has been warned before that it's fake and is ignoring the warnings, the item description says "IF YOUR ARE IN ANY WAY DISSATISFIED WITH WHAT I SAY AND WHAT YOUR RECEIVE, PLEASE CONTACT ME VIA 'CONTACT SELLER' - (PLEASE DO NOT USE CONTACT SELLER 'ITEM NOT AS DESCRIBED').

Real 12988 vs. Fake:

Hyacinth, I'm glad you posted this- I came across this listing too and it was the first fake Kristen I'd seen too- looked pretty obviously fake to me as well. Shame that there are bids on it!
 
Hello authenticators..

Hello me again Clueless here, :) I would love you to take a peek at our new authentication disclaimer, I worked with another moderator and I hope you all think its better. We took your concerns to heart and I hope you all like this one better.


We are trying to keep the fakes off the site. Submitting a support ticket may be a good solution using the descrption "Purse forum Report" or ?? not fake though.. we have too many junk listings that are reported that way.. We want your reports to stand out.

LMK

The link ended up being removed here is another listing that featured our new and improved disclaimer.. hope some of you who didnt like the original feel differently about this one.. I am fixing to be MIA for the week.. hope everyone has a nice weekend
Cluelesss..:)
 

Fake, sorry. Misaligned center and seam, always-fake C lining inside any C-pattern bag, fake creed and serial number. I hope you can get your money back, whoever sold you that violated US federal law.

That nasty shiny gold (or sometimes black or brown) acetate lining with those MINI-Cs is always fake.

Looks like it's finally been removed, but probably not in time to keep someone from paying for it.
 
Item: Authentic COACH Handbag Purse HOBO LARGE TOTE No. L05Q-5688 CHOCOLATE BROWN
Listing number: 380453194446
Seller: bobbieannw
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-C...446?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item5894c70ace

Ends in an hour and has bids-among other things, is constructed of "finest materials" and it's a leather bag.

Fake. I hope you had a chance to report it before it ended. The seller mentions that she's listing another Coach so we need to keep an eye on bobbieannw
 

OH BOY. I just zoomed in on the label. They misspelled the word "Trimmed". It's spelled TEIMMED. I guess I'd better get out my glasses the next time! Also, the label's outer edges aren't perfect, either in shape or stitching.

Thanks. I'm slowly getting schooled. Thanks for the info!

I did report it right after I posted it. I convinced myself I knew enough to report it and I hated to see it end before someone reported that thing.

I bought this at my Goodwill. I will be trying to return it. I've pointed out fakes to them whenever I spot them. I see many many fakes. No serial number, etc. Poor Kate Spade.......there's at least two fakes every time I go in. "They" don't care when I tell them. They have so many part-time staff members. And they "miss" authentic Coach bags frequently. (And I get them super cheap!) So expecting them to spot the fakes seems like an impossibility. Fortunately you all are here doing your good work. Thanks again.

My new slogan: "When in doubt....check it out!" Here, of course.
 
Hello All,
This is my bag but cannot see it anywhere online. I just want to make sure it is authentic before I list it and thank you in advance if you know the name of it. Again, thanks.
