COACH Hall of Shame - Post Coach fakes here!

The lining. Coach doesn't make that lining.

Yes they do. If it's a signature bag you most likely won't see a signature lining. They are authentic. In fact I once owned the larger version of the first one. I hope you didn't report them.

...and I understand what you're saying, I'm not trying to hurt sellers...but they aren't real.

The stitching is wrong also.

This is what is prohibited on ebay's policy page:
If the manufacturer doesn't offer the accessories or other extras as a separate purchase, those items can't be listed on eBay without the accompanying branded product.


[*]Accessories or packaging without the accompanying product. Examples include:


[*]Dust bags

[*]Plastic tags (including a tag with a serial number)

[*]Ribbons

[*]Tissue paper



[*]Box for a branded watch without the accompanying watch

[*]Empty jewelry pouch, tin, or other container that may be used to hold and sell a similar or identical product

[*]Warranty or certificate (blank, valid, or expired) without the accompanying product


I think the justification is that someone can put a fake with a real dustbag or box and that would make a buyer think it was real. I've seen fakes pictured with a Coach bag in the background. I've seen plenty of dust bags sold. I don't think they are very aggressive in removing those auctions.

Good to know, thank you!

Thanks for posting that info.

I agree with MarneeB. I think that they are authentic. You may want to throw them on the AUTHENTICATE this COACH board just to be sure.

The stitching is fine

I am no expert, but I learned from TPF that Coach lining was never made like that?

Found this from another post.....

2. Definitely fake. Coach does not put signature lining in their signature bags. C's are off and Creed is missing code, among other mistakes.

That's from a description of a bag with the cs outside. None of those bags have cs outside of them. Don't use posts from other bags to authenticate different bags please.

It says that Coach does not put signature lining in their SIGNATURE bags. The 3 bags you posted links to are not signature bags. A signature bag is one with the C's on the exterior of the bag.

I am sorry, I added that quote, which was quoted again that Coach NEVER puts the Cs in the lining. Supposedly the lining isn't sateen either, it's acetate. I am confused now.

Coach does put the C's on the lining unless the C's are on the outside. There are very few that you'll see the C's on the outside and the inside on the same bag.

THEY ARE REAL AND COACH MADE THAT LINING A FEW YEARS AGO !!!!

WHEN YOU DON'T RECOGNISE SOMETHING, DON'T REPORT IT WITHOUT ASKING AT THE AUTHENTICATE THREAD FIRST.

PLEASE DO NOT REPORT OR POST ANY OTHER SO-CALLED "FAKES" UNTIL YOU STUDY COACH'S OLDER STYLES.

And when someone questions your judgement, ot would be a good idea to pay attention.

And smaller items like Swingpacks OFTEN DON'T HAVE CREEDS OR SERIAL NUMBERS.

Stop reading useless "authenticity guides" and pay attention to other posters - and to VALID guides like this one:
