Really...? With the crooked "COACH" letting on the hardware??
(If that's real, then - wow, Coach. Just, WOW.)

I just found the following info on Polyvore. I don't know anything about this site - is it credible...? Anyway, they had a pic of the blue rope lanyard, and this: "Marine-quality rope, solid brass hardware. A Men’s Bleecker Street store and Coach.com exclusive. Cotton cord Hamptons clip with ring closure 26” (L) Exclusive product, limited availability."

Paired a fake lanyard with what looks to be a real price tag. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-COACH-MENS-BLUE-26-ROPE-LANYARD-KEY-RING-KEYFOB-/121007193298?pt=US_Women_s_Accessories&hash=item1c2c973cd2

PLEASE DON'T REPORT THIS LANYARD !!!!!!!

And there's an identical one listed here by a highly trusted seller who I've never known to sell fakes.

When someone with that kind of selling record lists something unusual, it's highly unlikely that it's fake. Remember, this is about REPORTING, not whether or not someone should consider buying it. A T&S or VeRO takedown can damage a seller's reputation and cost them money.

PLEASE DON"T report anything like this without confirmation!

Did you see what looks like a drop of solder on one of the rings?

Honestly, at first I thought they were authentic but besides the drop of solder on the brass, the word "Coach" is very sloppy - the letters aren't evenly spaced. Are you sure about these?

I'm absolutely positive. It's a fairly new boutique item, has never been to the outlets and there are none in stock to be ordered from anywhere.

If you doubt me, call Coach, ask about style 60673, have them look it up and ask about the availability. (In fact, the "authentic tag" that's attached is there because it came with it.)

I hope those listings weren't reported. :(

Hyacinth has said it before and it bears repeating. Unless you're 100% certain that an item is fake, please, please, PLEASE have it authenticated first. Just because it's ugly, just because you haven't seen it before, just because you can't imagine that Coach would make something like that DOES NOT MEAN IT'S FAKE.

You have no idea what a PITA it is to have an authentic listing reported and removed and to have your account dinged.


ETA: Sorry. I didn't see that Hyacinth had already posted. I wasn't intended to repeat her.

Ok, it appears all of our posts have 'crossed paths' somewhat. To clarify - I have NOT reported either of these lanyards since someone first said not to (yesterday). I should have posted them in the "Authenticate This" thread first, so my apologies for not doing that. Lesson learned, and if there's another time that comes along where there's ANY doubt, I'll post it there first.

After the first post telling us not to report these, I researched the lanyards further and found more information on them... as quoted below. Yes, I see now that they were a LE issue.

At any rate, both of your points have been made - thanks for the heads up on them being authentic. If I could edit my original post about it, I would remove the link to the listing...

Now can we please get back to posting links of (actual) fakes....? :-)

Remember, posting listings in this thread is a request for other members to report it.

While some might decide to do more research, others will simply file a report with T&S because what's posted here are supposed to be verified fakes.
