Hi everyone. Sorry, I'm new to this forum and not sure of the proper protocol. I am a long-time Coach customer (since 1994!) and I'm desperate to find a certain bag. A "store" on Amazon called UElegant has over 400 Coach items for sale, but I don't know if they're trustworthy. Does anyone know if their bags are authentic? Thank you so much.

They look like Outlet items from over the last two years. I'm not sure how the seller gets them in the volume s/he does since Coach restricts how many items each buyer can purchase, whether in-store or online.

There's no way for us to prove that any of them are genuine since the seller doesn't post creed photos, but Factory items aren't faked very often unless they turn out to be very popular.

The prices especially of the handbags seem quite a bit higher than what you would have paid at the Factory store - in fact most of them could probably be found for less on Ebay, and for much less if you have a Coach Factory Store within easy driving distance. Most would have sold at the stores or on the Factory Online invitational sales for about half of what the Amazon prices are, judging by a few bags that I remember from the sales. All items where the style number starts with an "F" would have been Factory Store items.

For instance, here's a Dream C Hobo I remember, style # F26023 listed on Amazon at $228.

Here's the same bag in Ebay's Completed listings - the prices in green are bags that actually sold for that price. Different colors but the same bag, and many sold for half or less of the Amazon seller's price.

I'd suggest checking Ebay for the style number of any item you're interested in before buying anyplace else. Post here to be sure it's authentic before bidding.

Hi,
This is my first time posting on the page. I purchased this from another person and am really hoping I wasn't lied to about the authenticity of the purse because I really love the style.

Don't know the name of the bag
Serial Number A1321-F21949

I hope these photos are clear enough. I appreciate any help/info. Thanks so much

It looks good to me, the name is probably "Signature Stripe Carryall".
 
Thanks Hyacinth, I was a little worried only because I could not locate it in the coach site by the serial number . Appreciate your help

That's because Coach.com ONLY shows items currently in stock at the full-price stores. This is from the Factory Outlet stores and those are NOT on the main Coach website. That's what the "F" in front of the style number means. Don't ever base a decision on whether something is on Coach's website, or even Google.
 
Could someone please authenticate this Coach bag?
From GW today...pics are a little dark...sorry!
Approx. 7.75”w x 6”h x 2.75”d Strap drop 22” to buckle
I'm guessing 1997 Equestrian Bucket Flap #9801...yes? Any info is always appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
