Hi lovely ladies, please could you help me figure out if this is authentic:

Item: COACH LEGACY LEATHER LARGE DUFFLE
Listing number: 121084150302
Seller: gophers7
Link: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/COACH-LE...ER-BAG-PURSE-COGNAC-BROWN-19893-/121084150302
Comments: item is listed as "new without tags" but looks possibly used - what do you think?

The bag looks okay. As for whether it's really new or used, I don't know. You can ask the seller. Although "new" is supposed to mean never used, many sellers describe their items as new when they've been used.

The bag in the listings looks okay but we advise extreme caution in buying from ebay.ph. There are some very "good" fakes coming out of there that require careful scrutiny.

The first one is a genuine Signature Stripe Tote from 2004. The slightly different number in the other listing you found is just a different size version of the same style.

The red one is a genuine Legacy West Small Market Tote from 2003.

Thank you, Hyacinth for the explanation. I appreciate it a lot since I cant find much info on this style.

I just google the second seller, and found she had good reputation from tpf. and the bid just went up a notch after i posted this request :nogood:

Hi ladies - I have a favor to ask. I know you don't authenticate for sellers, but I have a buyer who insists that a purse she bought from me on eBay is a fake. She started with saying that the tag is fake and that Coach tags don't split (so they have suede backs), which I know is not true.

I asked her to post photos of the bag she received from me to this forum and if there were any problems with the bag that she had my deepest apologies and a full refund. She has not done that and today sent me an email about what the "sales associate" said about the bag. I am assuming she took it to a Coach store. She hasn't asked for a refund and said she gave the bag to her daughter but just wanted to let me know that I sold her a fake. I am just sick that someone would think that.

The completed listing is here.

As I said, I understand if you don't want to comment on the bag but since my buyer wouldn't post photos I would at least like to provide her some expert comments rather than the opinion of a sale associate. And if ther is a problem with the bag I want to refund her money.

Thanks for considering.

I can't authenticate because I have never seen this style before, but I wanted to let you know that we do authenticate for sellers. You just aren't allowed to post a link to your own live auction because that would be considered advertising.

Every person on the Coach "Authenticate This" thread will answer from buyers OR sellers. How else do we keep the fakes away?

The bag looks to be authentic. Tell the seller to come here and read. I have NO idea of the name, but I "think" it's from the Hudson line.

Wait for Hyacinth to comment, but don't give in to a ridiculous buyer.

Thanks for the clarification, Whateve! I hadn't appreciated the distinction and will definitely make sure I run things by you guys.

This seller called the bag a Hudson tote:

COACH Black Pebbled Leather Hudson Tote/Purse #6810 ~ XLNT!
Number: 140938889449
Seller: hmgallagher
http://www.ebay.com/itm/140938889449

Looking forward to comments from others
