OMG, you're right about the text! I couldn't read hers and was looking at the formatting and thought it looked the same.

I'm also now seeing the run-on words on coachie mama's creed.

Now that I'm looking more carefully (something I should have done earlier), I am a bit nervous that this might be one of the Philippine-type fakes.

Although I've never seen the white dot faked, I can't imagine that it's something that's difficult to replicate.

coachie mama, would you please post a link to the listing? I think there are enough questions about the bag that I'd return it. It might not be fake but I wouldn't want it if I had doubts.

OMG. are there many Philippine fakes? I bought this off ebay.ph listing: http://cgi.ebay.ph/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=131161606096

the color is really washed out, not like the other listings or on stock photos.

the hardware is substantial, not cheap looking. the bag smells nice like leather, the stitching straight and even. the edgepaint is brown, though.

I found this purse at a local thrift shop today. It's really not my style but I think my aunt will love it, so I figured I'd pick it up and if it's not real I can just return it to the store.

I was very pleasantly surprised by how amazingly smooth and soft the leather is. :smile1:

It's in very good condition, no major scuffs or scratches or stains inside or out. The flash on my phone makes the bag look lighter than it actually is.

In looking through previous threads/posts I "think" this is an Audrey Zip - No B9C 9071

https://db.tt/tC64MquS

https://db.tt/ykEu4qut - should the edge of the leather be "unfinished" like this?

https://db.tt/iAdYH9bJ

https://db.tt/5d3p6RUW

https://db.tt/8G8cXLFh

https://db.tt/jbiWwZG0

For some reason my last 2 links keep messing up and end up huge and squished, so I have uploaded them to the individually to the post.

Thanks for your help!

Yes, there are tons of Philippine fakes and some of them are very good. Another problem I see is that the bottom on yours has the bigger croc squares all the way across. On an authentic bag, it matches the pattern on the rest of the bag, small at the ends, bigger in the middle, like the 5th picture in this listing. http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUTH-Coach-...493?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item5afeb6d4a5
I hope you can get your money back.

Not only is the color wrong, but there are NO photos of the creed patch and serial number and you should never buy a Coach without those. It's dangerous enough buying from sellers especially NEW sellers in the Philippines but buying without a full set of photos is just asking to be cheated. There isn't even a style or serial number of any kind in the listing. Please post a clear readable photo of the creed.

The seller steals photos from Coach's website for her other listings and it's easy to see that the bags in the other photos aren't the same as the main photo. Even without creed photos there are problems with the poor quality photos she DOES post. There's no way I would ever buy from any seller no matter where they're located who showed those photos.

The seller also disguises the spelling of the brands she sells in the listing titles so that Ebay's search programs can't find and limit her listings - that's another HUGE red flag and no one should ever buy from sellers who pull that trick, they're trying to hide from Ebay and doing that is against Ebay's rules. DO NOT BUY FROM SELLER ZAB27

I strongly urge you to return that bag immediately and insisit on a full refund including shipping - if the seller refuses, file a SNAD dispute with Ebay. And please don't ever buy from ANY seller especially from the Philippines without having the item authenticated here first. Philippine fakes are flooding the market and Ebay.ph isn't doing anything to stop them.

These are the factory versions of this style. Maybe you think they look different because they are missing the horse and carriage?

There is no significance to the pictures in the two listings being different. Sometimes sellers will rearrange the photos or change a few of them so that people won't realize they have already seen the listing and look at it again. I don't see any problems with the bag.

Are you asking about the tan suede Coach or the Meyers bag?

The tan Coach is genuine.
