That's odd. I thought I'd posted a response but when I went to edit it, it wasn't there.

That bag isn't authentic. I suggest returning it for a full refund. Demand a refund even if they claim that all purchases are final. The sale of fakes is illegal and they should never have sold that bag.

This is what 6332 should look like:

And this looks like what your bag is trying to copy, style 6388.

Here's a listing for an authentic version:

Thank you BeenBurned. I wished I would have joined and read this forum before buying a Coach purse at a 2nd hand thrift store..

hi again! i'm thinking of buying a coach mini black pebbled borough bag off of bonanza -- the seller sent me the creed (as a coach/purse newbie, didn't realize how important this was!). any thoughts on the authenticity? the rest of the bag looks real but the "o" in "No" doesn't have an underscore?

thanks so much in advance :)

Please post a link to the listing, as explained in the first post of this thread. We need to see the listing, the other photos and the seller's record. Thanks!

I hope Hyacinth doesn't mind my adding an editorial comment on seller #2, pianomusikmom who also sells with ID, handbag_babe, pursenalitygirl,
and tagteamsales.

Although these IDs sell a lot of Coach, she doesn't do her homework as far as verifying authenticity before buying or listing.

There have been multiple times that they've been discussed here:
http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/authenticate-this-coach-694619-332.html#post20563804

In this post, I commented that she had two listings (current at the time) for fakes:

http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/authenticate-this-coach-694619-295.html#post20428841

http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/authenticate-this-coach-577470-1117.html#post19367364


In fact, here's a current fake from Handbag_babe:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-Black...012?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item56667de884

It's just my humble opinion but I wouldn't buy from either ID, handbag_babe pianomusikmom.

I was hoping you could help me authenticate a couple of bags. What's throwing me for a loop is that on ebay, I'm seeing two different liner colors (a blush pink or a tan) for the interior. I own a Coach dune-colored wristlet that I adore, and purchased in store myself and it has a purple liner, which makes me suspicious of the plain tan liner I'm seeing. (However, the black version of this style has a black interior and the bronze has a brown interior so maybe tan does pair up with Dune -- but then are the pink interiors the fakes?) Anyhow -- I appreciate your help in advance.

The item most in question is this one:
Item: Coach Addison Diaper Bag F18374
Listing number: 261511995618
Seller: vs_pinkangel
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Addis...618?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item3ce35460e2
Comments: Looks nice but has a beige interior

Separate, this auction http://www.ebay.com/itm/221282398509?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 also shows a beige interior, including in their semi-stock-ish looking photo (but it doesn't appear that the seller has any pictures of the actual bag they are selling, so that is a big red flag to me.)

However, the next few show a pink interior:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/111367081880?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 (This one is out of my budget, so I'm not asking for authentication but it has a pink interior.)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Addison-diaper-bag-/261517676027?pt=US_Diaper_Bags&hash=item3ce3ab0dfb (This one is the other contender!)
Item: Coach Addison Diaper Bag F18374
Listing number: 261517676027
Seller: s.k. bates (only feedback of 4 though)
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Addison-diaper-bag-/261517676027?pt=US_Diaper_Bags&hash=item3ce3ab0dfb

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Addis...240?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item4ad7a870b0 (Also has a pink interior but the overall measurements mentioned in the listing sound wonky, so this one isn't something I'm considering.)

Thanks for your help!

Comments: Looks nice but has a beige interior
It looks good. Note that the color of the bag is dune. I believe the lining is purple and lighting/flash make it look tan. (Ask the seller about the lining color to clarify.)

Separate, this auction http://www.ebay.com/itm/221282398509?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 also shows a beige interior, including in their semi-stock-ish looking photo (but it doesn't appear that the seller has any pictures of the actual bag they are selling, so that is a big red flag to me.)
Seller YOOMABEAR - The lack of her own pictures IS a huge red flag. I don't recommend this seller, yoomabear. You're correct in that her pictures all appear to be stolen from other sources and none show the details necessary to authenticate it.

However, the next few show a pink interior:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/111367081880?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 (This one is out of my budget, so I'm not asking for authentication but it has a pink interior.)
Seller oaktree94linda - It looks good. Note that the color of the bag is champagne. Champagne has pink lining.

I can't comment on the authenticity without a picture of the creed but I don't see any obvious problems. (This is dune and if authentic PENDING CREED PIC, lining is purple.)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Addis...240?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item4ad7a870b0 (Also has a pink interior but the overall measurements mentioned in the listing sound wonky, so this one isn't something I'm considering.)
Seller cypress1112013 - Please request a picture of the creed with full serial number shown. The bag appears to be champagne so assuming authenticity, the lining color (pink) would be correct.

Thanks for your help!
