View attachment 3652163 View attachment 3652164 Hi, I bought a wild tea rose dinky on eBay and noticed inside the last part where it says "Coach Bag Registration Numbe" is missing an "r" and doesn't say number. Does this mean I got a fake or is that normal? Thanks so much for anyone's help.

I just answered on the other thread where you posted. I'll try to copy here.

ETA: Since you said you bought the bag on ebay, please post the seller ID and link to the listing as required per post #1 of this thread.

PLEASE WAIT FOR OTHERS.

I'd like to hear other opinions. I've tried to hunt down other listings of this bag but was only able to find Coach's Asian .com sites and Coach doesn't show creeds on the site.

I'm a little concerned. Although the style number seems correct for the bag it's on, I'm not sure whether the bag should have this type of serial number, i.e., prefix with date and plant codes and suffix with style number.

From what I've seen of the 1941 collection bags (and the dinky from that collection,) it should have an oddball creed with a prefix and suffix that isn't indicative of the style. The prefix on those bags should be an abbreviation of the name of the style.

And those I've found do NOT have a spelling error! Nor do they have the "R" trademark symbol under the serial number. There are differences in the stitching down the sides of the creed patch.

I'm seeing too many differences that worry me.

Here are a couple of examples and links to the listings.

1941 collection Dinky tea rose floral bag - http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-COACH-1941-TEA-ROSE-FLORAL-APPLIQUE-DINKY-CROSSBODY-LEATHER-HANDBAG-595-/332164789350
DK-20215 creed from above:

*sigh* After I posted, I went through completed listings to see if I could find the bag you bought and suspected that it might have been seller: kyyjamie

Had you come here prior to buying, you would have been advised against purchasing from a seller who steals Coach's copyrighted stock images. Particularly for highly faked items, it's important that sellers show their own pictures of the actual item that the buyer will receive. With the use of stock photos, there's no way to know what you'll receive.

Additionally, please tell me that kyyjamie didn't convince you to take the transaction off ebay and pay directly through Paypal! In fact, both the bag you bought as well as another of her listing for a different tea rose bag were ended early, scamming ebay out of fees and possibly costing you some buyer protection.

You can file a claim through a Paypal but it is easier to get your money back through ebay. Sometimes Paypal will ask for a professional authentication, and usually they won't require the seller to pay for you to ship it back, while on ebay you would get a return shipping label. Any seller who wants to cheat ebay out of their fees has no qualms about cheating their buyers. Keep that in mind next time.

If you paid with a credit card, you are doubly protected. If you don't get a refund through Paypal, you can open a claim with your credit card company, but don't do both at once. Wait until the Paypal claim is resolved before you go that route.
