Where are you doing your research? Please post links to what you've found.

There is absolutely nothing right about that bag and your sources are incorrect.

Ok wiki answers and a general google search says the number is real but I'd rather believe people like you guys who have seen photos of the bag I guess


Suffice it to say that you aren't choosing dependable resources to garner knowledge.

Understand the anyone can post on the internet. Anyone can write an "authenticity guide" claiming themselves as an expert whether they have real knowledge or not. There's no vetting of the accuracy of guides nor is the knowledge of those who reply to questions on Wiki answers, ehow, yahoo answers, etc. verified to make sure that accurate information is given.

That's why 99% of the authenticity guides (all brands) permeating the internet are either incomplete, obsolete or just plan wrong.

If you own this bag, I recommend you return it to wherever you purchased it for a refund because they broke the law in selling a fake. If you can't return it, do not sell it anywhere; that too is illegal. And please don't donate it as that just perpetuates the cycle.

My suggestions are to either destroy the bag and discard it or use it for storage in your basement or shed.

We offer our knowledge and experience here and we do it as a free volunteer service to help buyers and sellers in order to avoid the purchase and sale of fakes.

I am speaking for myself when I say this. I enjoy helping and offering my knowledge where I can but it's very frustrating when someone comes here with a very obvious fake and argues with us.

You may choose to believe those internet Q & A posts where you may or may not get accurate information or you may post questions on the purse forum where there's a wealth of knowledge and real experience with the various brands.
 
Hello ladies, can someone provide authenticity for this listing. Is it a little odd in shape?

Listing: Vintage Coach Manor Satchel
Seller: ninamarie33
Item no. 121153696471
Link: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/121153696471

Thanks for your time and knowledge.

I'm not seeing anything in the shape that would make me think it isn't a real Manor Bag. How is the shape different from the one in the photo that Coach used on their website?

It looks ok to me.

I thought the top looked a little narrower than other vintage Manor purses I've been looking at but that may be because some others look a little squishy and this one still "stands at attention". It didn't dawn on me to look at the current flock of Manor purses; thought they may have been tweaked a bit in the intervening years. Thanks for your response.
 
Hi all - I have a general question - I have this old Coach bag, #D6C-9016. It's a bit of a mystery because the only others I can find online with the exact same serial number are same style vintage backpacks - I have never seen same serial number for two different, if similar, styles? Just wanted someone to confirm that - Thanks, Bobbie

What do you ladies think, is this authentic? Thanks in advance!
Please wait for other opinions on this one.

There are several things that seem "off" to me. I don't believe this bag is authentic.

1. The pattern appears larger than it should be.
2. The bag is smaller than it should be
3. The buckle hardware beneath the handles (front and back of the bag) looks larger than it should be
4. The hangtags seem to have the wrong font and are the wrong shape
5. The pattern isn't properly centered
6. The creed is the wrong type of leather
7. The creed is imprint is uneven
8. The creed is missing the horse and carriage stamp above "Coach"

Other opinions are welcome.

I've attached some side by side pictures comparing this listing from JohnnyConlisk (also johnny-sells on ebay) to another listing for the same style, 16260 to try to point out my concerns.

It looks "swollen" to me...everything looks too big and clunky to be authentic. I had doubts, but wanted to check here first before reporting it. I noticed it is listed on eBay too.
Thank you, BB, for doing so much research. I was not thinking of buying it...I was just surfing for purse porn :graucho: and happened across the listing.

I see what you mean - I'd glanced at the few listed and Completed on Ebay but they almost all were from just these 2 sellers and it didn't seem like a large enough pool for a comparison. A closer look at the creeds would have made me draw the same conclusions you have, I should have looked more closely. The creeds are different and the way the "johnny" seller's creed is cut and finished along the edges just doesn't look right.

The Carriage emblems are different too and the font of the Coach logo on the red bags' Carriage emblem looks entirely too much like the badly-shaped letters we see on so many fakes. The letters don't have that trademarked font that only Coach uses, especially the Cs. The Coach logo just by itself would be a BIG red flag, but the whole HAC emblem looks badly made and shapeless compared to what I'll call the Real one.

Based on these, I wouldn't buy that bag from either JohnnyConlisk on Bonz OR from johnny-sells on Ebay

I'd love to know where the seller got it. It reminds me of some of the fakes from the Philippines.
