I have a very bad feeling about that bag.

Not only because thousands of fake Coaches are being sold through sellers in the Philippines, but because the creed patch and stamp doesn't match others from the same plant and year. The words run together and they shouldn't, The Carriage stamp and Coach logo on the creed are different from the others, and even the serial number font and spacing isn't the same.

The creed in a genuine Coach should usually be the same leather and color but like you already noticed, it's not.

The seller is also trying to avoid Ebay's selling restrictions by listing them as "Coaches" instead of "Coach" so that her listings won't get red-flagged and examined for possible violations.

There must be many fakes in this style, it's hard to tell real from fake. Compare it to this purse in the same style 18641 and supposedly made just a month before the one you're asking about.

The words on the creed are different, the sizes of the numbers and letters in the serial number are VERY different, and there's also a mistake in punctuation that should never be in a real Coach. The texture and color of the creed patch in the brown one DO match the leather on the rest of the bag. A photo of the creed is posted below. I believe the one your friend wants to buy is FAKE and I strongly advise her NOT to buy it.

More opinions are welcome.

The bag from beashopaholic11 is fake. DO NOT BUY FROM beashopaholic11!

Here is another listing for the same color, cognac bag. Note the lining color! (Flash and lighting can alter the appearance of colors but obviously, the color of the lining on beashopaholic11's is wrong

Even if the seller has the color name wrong and if it's really persimmon, the other issues as pointed out by Hyacinth are wrong.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-Madis...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Whenever possible, I would advise against buying from any listing on ebay.ph. ALthough there may be honest sellers who are hurt by my recommendations, the risk of getting a fake is so high that I wouldn't recommend them at all.

No problem!! Is it the one you were thinking of?? It is gorgeous soft quality leather. I have one in British tan that I love! I also love the name!:) Lula's Legacy... Cute! Good luck

The one I have in mind is the the just called the drawstring sac. It came out in with the light weight line in the late '80s. I think lula's is very similar though. It may even be the same bag with a different name. I have to take a closer look

Good afternoon ladies! Could you kindly authenticate this bag when you get a moment?

If deemed authentic, may I please have any add'l information: style name (it's Willis-y without the top handle and removable strap), color (it's kinda a moss, olive, camo. green, and year? TIA for all you do for all of us! Much obliged, M

Can someone please tell me if the creed says glove-
tanned (just like that on separate lines) does it mean it's
not a real Coach? I thought I read that somewhere.....

We need to see a picture of the creed and the front of the bag (at the very least).

See post #1 of the thread for the required information and posting format.

I don't know where you read or what you read but 99% of the "authenticity" guides permeating the internet are either incomplete, obsolete or just plain wrong.

Thanks BeenBurned,
I'm on cold medicine so my brains not working real well......sorry.....:(.
I'm trying to figure out how to link my photos on here.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/121275497526?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Hope that works.....as you can see on the creed the words glove-tanned are not on the same line so that makes me wonder.
Thank you!
