ITEM: COACH RACING GREEN LEATHER HANDBAG 19889 LEGACY LEATHER DUFFLE BAG PURSE
SELLER: MIKAROB


http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-RACIN...783?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item3ce9551fc7


Guys, so I contacted this seller asking for more pictures, originally there were only 2, and asking for the patch's picture, still a no on that, this is the reply I got on this regarding more pics and color of bag:

"The color is B4/Racing Green
I found the original price tag inside the bag with a price of $418.00
Thanks"

Does this seem like authentic? I replied back asking again for the pic of the patch.... Thanks.
That's Legacy Leather Duffle from 2012. The color is Emerald. Not sure if this one came in a large size but most likely it's 19889, regular.

Does anyone know if Coach EVER used racing green as a color???

The bag looks authentic but I've never seen it with a metallic strap. The zipper pull and the strap attachment look metallic too. It doesn't appear to have been altered.
I have that same bag in green. The strap and tassel are suede. Guess they made a couple of versions.

DUH!!! Sorry, I should have read the rest of the thread before I posted repeat info....

Could someone please authenticate this Coach bag?
1 of 2 from GW a few weeks ago...
Approx. 9.5"w x 7.5"h x 3"d Strap drop 6.5" to stitching on sides.
Maybe a 2006 Small Ergo Hobo #10739...or something like it?
Any info is always appreciated...thanks in advance!

Authentic.

And this one?
Approx. 9.5"w x 7"h x 3"d. Strap drop 6.5" to ring/buckle
A 2006 Mia Burst Soho Laced/Studded Small Hobo #10062? Was this a Limited Edition? Getting names and info from ebay listings is always kinda dicey...LOL!
Thanks again in advance!
Authentic. I don't think it was limited edition. Like "Cashin," "rare," and "vintage," it's an adjective that's used more frequently than it should be and in instances where the adjective doesn't describe the item.

I have it in my colors list although can't remember when I added it. But it was definitely available, here's a listing I found for a Campbell when we first started discussing that bag a few days ago:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-COACH-C...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Racing Green (color code RG) is British Racing Green which is a darker green than that legacy Duffle. Think classic Jaguars and MGs, or 1960s Formula One/Indy 500 Lotuses:

Hi everyone!
This is kind of a "heads-up" notice, because I don't really know how else to handle this issue.

Seller: gotitforsale2009
Old auction number (my purchase): 331327479812
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-purse...812?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d24a82004
New auction number: 231349335227
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=231349335227

I bought a group of three "authentic" Coach bags and after I got them I found that the black drawstring bag was fake. Most notably the serial number, besides looking wonky, was wrong for this style. It was M3B-9893 - which a lot of you will already know is the style number for the small turnlock Scooter bag.

I wrote the seller , gave them details about my findings, and asked if I should return them all or if she wanted to give me a partial refund for the counterfeit bag and their terse answer was "send them all back". (No apology, nothing.) I returned them thru the managed returns process so it did not cost me for the label. I got my refund immediately.

Unfortunately, now the seller has relisted this group!
I do feel an ethical responsibility for someone else getting rooked, what should I do?
The seller has changed her listing to exclude the fake bag but is still asking the same price.

That's because her account ( gotitforsale2009 ) was dinged when both previous listings were removed.

Did you notice this in the new listing? I'm just curious who the reseller is. (I know it wasn't posted on the ebay boards.)

"These bags have been verified by a Coach bag reseller on Ebay."

Maybe she means thecollector629 on here, who originally bought them on her ebay seller account.

Wouldn't surprise me--that's exactly what I was thinking.
LOL! I never thought of that! So she's giving credit for having authenticated the bag to the buyer who she ripped off with the third one and denied that that bag was fake? That's really funny!
 
Here's another debbieb208 listing.

The serial number font doesn't look right and she has another fake posted on the hall of shame.

Was this bag even still being made in 2002?

ETA: How is this seller doing short (2-day) listings? Unless ebay changed, it has to be a minimum of 5-day listing for designer items.

This listing started today, October 4 and ends on October 6:

I'm not an expert on this style but I'm seeing discrepancies. I don't have an B factory creeds from 2002. The latest I have from that plant is 1999. I doubt the factory was still being used in 2002. I don't know when they stopped making this style but all of the others I see were made in 1996 or 1997. The font of the creed is not like any creed I've ever seen for this plant. It is similar to the font that was used in 2002 in Costa Rica, but this is much sloppier, particularly the words "natural"(second occurrence) and "leather." By 2002, creeds were much neater and uniform. I don't believe this is an authentic 2002 creed.

The holes through which the drawstring passes look too crude, too square. On the bags I'm comparing it to, the holes are rounded on the ends. On this listing, you can see the hardware backs on the inside of the bag (picture 4) http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-Leath...5?pt=US_CSA_MWA_Backpacks&hash=item2341068f01
On the listing by debbieb208 you can see the hardware is completely different.
