Please help guys. bfpcalabarzon.com/files/1...85007174_o.jpg/files/1...85007174_o.jpg TIA.
I don't know much about swingpacks so you'll have to wait for one of the other authenticators. You should post a link to the ebay listing. Refer to the first post of this thread to see what information we need.

Coach has made items in many countries.
 
Sorry I cant put image, please click the link for picture reference I was just wondering why this coach bag is made in bangladesh. Here is the link: http://www.bfpcalabarzon.com/files/10804574_10203291171427673_85007174_o.jpg

Please read the first post on the first page of this thread and supply the information we need, including photos of the rest of the Swingpack and the tag. Nothing can be authenticated with just one photo.

And why wouldn't Coach make bags in Bangladesh? They have plants all over Asia including China, India, Vietnam and the Philippines. I haven't seen a tag from Bangladesh yet but that doesn't mean it's fake.
 
Its Tabac..but I've always used it for my pencils so..now thats its rehabbed I think I'll just keep using it for my pencils..I'll never "get the lead out" :yahoo:

After a bath, mine appears to be dark brown, though the hangtag is much redder...likely an add-on...and previous owner squeezed the clasp together...it won't open :( Get the needle-noses!
 
I have a massive migraine, can someone help? :-)

I just got a notice from eBay that a return was initiated, 'not as described' on a Sutton 9814 bag of mine that was purchased by a ZERO (gah) feedback buyer.

Here is their reason:

"Reason for return: It appears counterfeit or fake
Buyer comments: The stitching on either side of the bag which is reinforcing the shoulder straps looks very odd. I own 4 coach bags, and I've never seen this before."

(If anyone recalls this style, that 'very odd' way the straps are attached is part of the 'style'... )

Could someone please double-check my sanity -- err --- my bag.
If you need any additional pix or info let me know.

And thanks so much,
Christina G

There is nothing wrong with that bag. I don't believe you will be able to stop the return since ebay always believes buyers. However, you should be able to call ebay and ask them to remove the defect.

Owning 4 Coach bags doesn't make anyone an expert on Coach.

Thank you whateve...
I loved the part about owning 4 whole Coach bags :D

To add a bit more to Whateve's comment, I'd suggest you refer the buyer here so she can express her concerns and be reassured.

Thanks BB, I did refer her.. along with assuring her that I always authenticate etc. in hopes that she would be reasonable.
Her reply in quotes below for your reading pleasure.

"Hi ... I have no authority to state that the purse is inauthentic - none at all... I'm so sorry that that was what my message conveyed. I actually didn't know where to click to express what I didn't like about the purse from the list I was presented. I am quite certain that every coach you list is authentic, and I would buy from you again. I looked at your other listings but didn't find one that was quite right.
For some reason I can't print the label you sent me, I called pay pal and the agent said I had to purchase the label. I don't understand what she meant since you had provided one already. Do you know what I should do? Again, I'm sorry for incorrectly expressing myself.
L****e"

I am guessing that trying to get her to change her return reason to 'not as expected' or 'changed mind' might be pushing it.

I also have no idea what she is referring to about me having sent her a label - that she can't print - but am guessing this is part of eBays "new improved" return process
:: smile ::

But -- I am happy that at least she is being nice!

So I am going to mail her a labeled bag to ship the bag back, chalk the additional time & expense up to "marketing" and start my holiday drinking early... (& oh boy do I look forward to hours on phone with eBay trying to get this "defect" removed)

Cue EGGNOG :-P
 
It's impossible to authenticate it or even know what style it is without a clear readable photo of the creed and serial number and a clear photo of the inside showing the full width of the inside pocket. If you can take more photos when you get it we can take another look. We need to see the entire top of the inside pocket including the outside edges. If by "tag" you mean the small leather hangtag, don't bother with a photo of it, it wouldn't prove or disprove anything.

Also look at the backs of the strap buckles to see if there are any stampings, and take photos if there are.

Hello, I received the bag today and it seems fake to me. The leather does not feel right and there is some glue attaching the flap to the back in addition to the stitching. There are no stampings on the backs of the strap buckles. I guess I've learned my lesson.

Here's a link to the original listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-Vinta...tO7JR6FilakueHTdNyD9E%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

There is nothing wrong with the bag. It is authentic. The leather might feel funny because it was treated with something.
