Hi, I was just wondering if anyone can tell me if this is real or not? I get the feeling it's fake as it just seems cheap.

I don't have any numbers, all that I can tell you is it's from a ebay user, Thanks.

Fake - the style, the colors and especially the box.

Coach has NEVER used 2-piece white & brown rectangular gift boxes like that. Anything included or photographed with one is 98 percent sure to be fake. Get your money back if you can.

Any time you see anyone selling keychains in a 2-colored 2-piece rectangular "gift box", hit the BACK button.

Are you sure this isn't plum? Colors can look different in photos depending on the camera and the lighting.

I am not sure. I found this one is being sold in the auction, but the seller described it in title as a lindsey rather than a mini sophia. Besides, the seller did not know the actual model no. So it arouses my suspicion that it is fake.

Here is another pic provided by the seller:

Just because a seller doesn't know what she is selling, doesn't mean it is fake. Did you see a picture of the creed? I don't see anything in the pictures to prove that it isn't authentic.

The seller did not post the pic of the creed. That's why it's hardly to determine if it is fake. I am attempting to ask for it.

Anyway, thanks for your advice. :smile1:

If this is authentic can someone please give me a little more info on these as I don't remember anything gathered coming in this size and the strap like that. TIA

I'm NOT asking anyone to report it but I sure wouldn't buy it without verifying the style.

Here is a reveal of the authentic version of this item.

Thanks, Whateve!

I wish the price tag pic would have shown the whole style number - it drives me nuts when someone shows a new or unusual style but never shows the creed or gives the number or the style and color codes. Would you happen to know the full style number so I can add it to my files? And is it considered a wallet or a Tech Case? Thanks!

And if this is the style the wallet/case in the original question is trying to be, I don't think this one is genuine, the pleats just don't seem the same. And did they make this style in Black with a choice of gold or silver trim?:

You're welcome.
#63824 It's called a universal case.
I see they removed that listing.

It is hard to know for sure if they made it with silver trim, but the only one I've seen has brass trim. I agree that the ebay listing looks fake. What makes me really wonder is how the counterfeiters made something before the real one was released. BTW, wouldn't the color code be SV/BK, not SV/KS?

I've been following this listing and after seeing the reveal, my opinion is that the listing in question (not removed) from seller c_es is fake. The pleats aren't right, the logo plaque is in the wrong location, the lining color is wrong and the color code on the tag is wrong.

Side-by-side comparisons are telling:
