Thanks. I am trying to learn. Can you give me some info on what's wrong with the first bag so I know what to look for?
Along with the creed misspellings, most of the details on that bag are just plain wrong, but there are details that an inexperienced buyer is not going to be able to spot on their own. That's why you need to have experts check the bags before you buy.
Just a few other problems:
Coach never made that fabric pattern
the "leather" looks like vinyl
the Carriage emblem is wrong
the stitching is sloppy and uneven
the hardware is wrong, all of it
the hangtag is fake
the lining not only would never be used with a C pattern on the outside but is another pattern and fabric never used by Coach
the serial number is completely fake and every single code digit is wrong and so is the style number. The entire number is invalid and the style number belongs to a sketch pad refill
all the zipper pulls are wrong
the outside pocket zipper has more waves in it than Hawaii's North Shore
To put it bluntly, there's actually nothing right about that bag, sorry.
Please DON'T try to authenticate Coach bags yourself. Ask here first.
