Posting this fake Coach for others to compare, keep as reference, or whatever the case may be not to be scammed.

I got this purse (as a gift) inside another real Coach, bought it in Bonanza and the seller has only a handful of items, only one Coach purse and one wallet. I do not believe is very familiar with the brand. I will discard the purse accordingly.

Note how "completely" is spelled.

Edited to add, that I just found 11 bags like this listed on Ebay and on those I could read the creed, this word is spelled the same. Are all those fake? Or it was a mishap at the plant where the creeds were stamped?

DON'T DISCARD! The bag isn't fake.

Although rare, I believe that's a stamping error made in the K Chinese plant. I'm willing to bet that's the reason they were sent to the outlet.

In fact, here's another creed from a bag made in the same factory exactly a year later with the same mistake:

EDITED TO ADD: Of the examples above, the most recent bag with an error was from April, 2002 (D2K).

It looks like by July, (G), the error was found and corrected and the G2K bags had the corrected spelling. Instead of COMPIFTFIY, it's COMPLETELY.

Wanting to add this VERY clear and definitive picture showing the rare stamping/spelling error as well as another picture from 3 months later showing that it was corrected.
