Sorry, the pictures are so bad that I can't even tell what style it's supposed to be. Maybe someone else can figure it out. The seller really needs to make an effort to take decent photos. There aren't even any measurements. :noggin:

Seller actually states that its fake: "Gently used but not dead genuine Coach leather purse".

I agree with BeenBurned about what the seller was probably trying to say.

That makes it even more important for them to post clear photos. They not only don't show any clues as to the actual condition of the bag, but they can't even be bothered to stuff it with a towel or t-shirt to at least show the kind-of doctor bag shape they described? Do they want to sell it or not?

It gets SO frustrating when sellers can't be bothered to prepare and even measure something they're selling. What's so hard about looking at other listings and seeing how successful sellers show and describe their items? Do they think someone's going to fall in love with a shapeless, unidentified blob of leather?

You might try asking for more photos and then posting again. Right now I can't help. It MIGHT be a satchel from the early 90's Lightweights but with those pictures I wouldn't feel comfortable wagering a nickle on that possibility. And don't forget to ask about any condotion issues.

Sorry about the rant, but sheesh. Some people seem to be using the convenience of being able to take pics with a cell phone as an excuse for not even making a half-fast effort to invest just a few minutes to make an effective listing that might actually draw buyers.

ETA - I hope whoever won it at least gets a decent bag, they deserve it for taking a chance.

Thanks so much, I kind of thought it looked like one I had asked about before that was from etsy.

I'm interpreting that statement from the seller as saying it's a genuine Coach leather purse that has been used but isn't dead. (In other words, "lots of life left.")

Whoops. Shows how important it is to express yourself clearly in both words and pictures when listing! I would never have described a bag as being dead, however this could be an example

I think I might start a thread: "Post your dead Coaches here"

Please post a link to the online internet seller. The seller sells fakes and the pre-order is probably because they're dropshipping from a counterfeiter in China.

I don't want to disclose the obvious red flag but the bags are fake. There's something in the picture (on both bags) that Coach never does.

If you paid with a credit card, open a dispute.

Thank you so much.
I will ask her to refund the deposit.
Once again, thank you very much.
