Shan2, this is just my opinion, but I don't think that would be considered a counterfeit. It doesn't seem to have anything "Coach" on it. That's not Coach's trademark fabric, and I don't see any Coach logos or labels anywhere. I'm thinking it would qualify as "designer inspired" - ugly, yes, but not counterfeit.
I agree, it isn't counterfeit.

This is correct. Although it's a legitimate designer inspired item, it's possible that Coach could allege infringement based on the premise that the pattern is similar enough to Coach's that buyers could conceivably be confused. And in that case, I'd agree because the patterns are so close.

But it's not reportable as fake.

The previous listing wasn't fake, but this one is:

ETA: Oops, never mind. The definite fake is gone.
