I think many of the differences are due to the Cows being photgraphed at different angles. The black one is shot straight on, the brown one is tilted slightly.

Stitching is never going to be exactly the same between two items even if they're the same style. From the style number, the original was made in or around late 2010, and the newer ones listed on Ebay with the F Factory Store codes probably made no earlier than the last 12 or 18 months. Not only will there be small changes in cutting and assembly details, but I've noticed even the Coach stamps and hangtags aren't made quite as precisely as they used to be 4 or 5 years ago.

Something else to consider - if the brown one is fake, where are the rest of the brown fakes? No fakes maker is going to make just a tiny handful (or just a one-off!) of a keyfob that is exactly like the original including a lot of time-consuming details - where's the profit in that?

(I actually like the brown one. The Black and white one appeals to me as a Midwestern girl because I love seeing hundreds of those beautiful black and white Holsteins on my drives around Wisconsin, but the brown one has a more European look - Guernsey, maybe? The brown fur color reminds me of Highland cattle which I think are gorgeous. And forgive me if I get the names wrong, I'm a City Girl!)

It might be a Ayrshire (sp?)

Is this fake? It doesn't look like other 9994's but maybe they are fake.

That's a weird one! Someone has done extensive surgery on that bag! I don't see how they can call it a handbag when they removed the strap and cut off the handle. Those grommets for the drawstring were added. I think they cut up the original straps to make the drawstring. On the other hand, the creed look fine.

ETA: I wonder if the seller knows it has been butchered. It seems deceptive to sell it without mentioning it.

It's authentic. It's from around 1990, not the 70s as the seller claims. It is a large Plaza Court Bag. The style is one of my favorites - it looks like the bag is smiling!

You should ask the seller about what conditioning he/she does to the bag. Some people might use conditioners that have silicone, which is bad for leather, or polish, which is almost impossible to remove.

Although that bag is authentic, I think it's important for potential buyers to know about jude309 and her long history of mixing authentic and fakes.

In post #4886, Hyacinth mentions several threads where jude309 (ebay) aka VintageBaublesandBag (etsy) has several fakes.

And there are others:

Hi - Normally I would post this in the other sub forum for Coach fakes, but this needs to go quickly and I noticed that anything posted in THIS forum gets pulled really quickly. Either someone from ebay is monitoring this thread or a lot of the readers here are on the ball with reporting.:yahoo:
ANyway, at least TWO of these bags are fakes, obvious from the linings, etc,
and the auction is nearing $100 already. Please help to get rid of it!
Seller: sunshineshilay
Ebay Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-4-Co...664?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item418b89de88

At least THREE of the four bags are fake, I'm not sure about the silver Sig Sateen or the Optic Wallet. The other two wallets are fake too.

I don't care how good the cause is, almost all the items from sunshineshilay are garbage and we need everyone to help report them.
