I hope you love it! I think the XL would work better for me. I'm glad yours is the XL! I used mine today. Had to leave out a couple things. But, I'm good with that!
I am afraid the XL would be too big for me. The one I have like yours is a little small but it works for me. I love the large flap even more. They are harder to find at a decent price.
 
I'm not familiar with that particular bracelet.

The pictures in the listing aren't clear. Can you get better pictures, perhaps with the macro function? Experiment with and without flash. (If you can get good clear pictures with the flash from a distance, you can enlarge them by cropping.)

I'd like to see clear pictures of the outer signature pattern, the Coach lozenge imprint from inside the bracelet and the full inside.

I'm having real trouble with the pictures, I'm not too skilled at this.

I have never seen anything like it and the seller is not sure of its authenticity. Its gorgeous and I am hoping coz it is real inexpensive.


Thx for being here,

It's fake but there are real bags that are similar. None of the authentic bags are going to have a horse and carriage plaque. It's probably closest to #13380. There was also a smaller version, #13388.

12988 seems to be a popular style number for certain fake red bags!!

Here's a post where Hyacinth posted a picture of what the real 12988 should look like.

And this is what 12988 looks like. (Even if a bag seems to match this style, it should be authenticated.)

Can anyone authenticate this bracelet? It looked better to me in the photos than IRL.

Thank you.

Seller misly

Coach sterling cuff bracelet (used)

Item number 161440223466

The C's look not quite right to me adding my own pics

sorry struggling with pics

I'd like to see clear pictures of the outer signature pattern, the Coach lozenge imprint from inside the bracelet and the full inside.

Both of the inside stamps look wrong. The Coach logo looks more engraved than stamped, and from the photos the "est 1941" doesn't look like it's correctly centered under the Coach logo. The 925 stamp is unusual too. A clear macro shot of those would be a big help.

I agree with Whateve and BB on the shape of the C's - they shouldn't be recessed, and the shapes are poorly defined and the groups of Cs too close together.

That was one of the first purses I bought at the outlet. Unfortunately it was too small but I thought it was adorable. At the time, I didn't know the difference between MFF and FP, yet the deletes appealed to me more.

I just asked the seller for a return, she said fine... She asked me to explain why I think it's fake --that's reasonable too. She said it was a gift from someone who would never giver her a fake.

But then she wants to condition the return on my agreement to not give negative feedback! What?

She also said something about moving and a different address -- I have to return to her proper address. Looks like a call to ebay is in order.

Whateve and Beenburned, pming you.

I prefer not to quote the whole message in case the person is reading here, it's very polite but conditioning the return on feedback? what?!

Been Burned your messages are full

You want to look for a Coach Bonnie Foldover. I know because I bought a bag exactly like the one in this listing. Got my money back. Found a beautiful authentic Coach foldover which I love!

Sorry. I emptied my inbox.

Regarding the seller, misly and her demand for not leaving a neg, you can leave any feedback you want and her "deal" to accept the return as long as you don't leave a neg amounts to feedback extortion and is disallowed by ebay policy and is reportable.

http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/feedback-extortion.html

This is from the policy:

Sellers:
The seller can't require a buyer to leave positive Feedback, specific detailed seller ratings, or revise existing Feedback in exchange for a number of things, including, but not limited to:

  • Receiving the purchased item
  • Issuing a full or partial refund
  • Monetary compensation
  • Additional items
  • Other goods and services not included in the original listing

I don't know whether I missed your pictures or if you revised the post but I just saw them.

The bracelet is definitely fake.

I'm not sure why she's balking at all on the return because her listing shows a 14-day return policy. That means you can return it for any reason!

If misly won't refund you without a promise of non-neg feedback, my suggestion is to open a SNAD dispute through ebay for the counterfeit item. She'll be required to issue a full refund including your initial shipping amount.

A decent seller would also reimburse your return postage since the reason for return is due to the item being fake.
 
Of the lot of 6 bags I recently won, there are two I'd like to have checked, please.

Here's the first one - a large slim duffel 9060? It has nickel hardware.

Of course I can provide more pics if needed.

The second one I have no idea.

It measures approx 9" wide x 8"x 3" deep.

The strap is adjustable.

There's a pocket with a gusset under the flap and a slip pocket on the back.

It has a buckle with a magnetic snap like the Soho Belted Pouch.

I think it's navy blue.
