Wow, elady01 has a good reputation for selling authentic LV but clearly, she doesn't know squat about Coach.

Korean fake.

And this is elady01's creed:

After her listing was removed 2 weeks ago, elady01 relisted again and again the listing was removed.

This is the THIRD time elady01 has relisted her fake Korean not-Coach bag:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Auth-COACH-...041686?hash=item4af9c55f56:g:bPcAAOSw~OVWzh18

elady01 has relisted the Korean fake again. This is at least the third time it's been relisted after being removed twice.

I don't even have to type the seller's name, do I?

BTW, Coach has NEVER combined "COACH BAG" in the creed into just one word..


Well, elady01 certainly is a special snowflake. Instead of dinging her account with a violation ding (or naru'ing after this many times listing the same fake), the seller must have received a phone call from ebay advising her to end the listing.
This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available.



http://www.ebay.com/itm/Auth-COACH-...044951?hash=item488c36c517:g:vf0AAOSw0QFXDR5G

Ebay, or maybe IACC. :graucho:

But I'm glad that SOMEONE at least told her to pull that POS, especially at the price she was asking! And although it was one of the better-made fakes I've seen, it was absolutely NOT a Coach product.

Call me a cynic but I suspect we'll be seeing that bag again -- somewhere, sometime.
From February to April, 2016, ELADY01 listed and relisted that fake briefcase at least 6 times.

I must have ESP. ^^^^^My post above was from April 15, 2016 at which time I predicted that we'd be seeing that bag again.
And here it is!

This isn't counterfeit as much as it is deceptive and false advertising:
Coach extremely Rare Korea Singapore Olympics 2006 bag charm stars lanyard HTF

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-extre...088347?hash=item3f7643b4db:g:C5oAAOSwj85YQY82

"Authentic and new put away until today.
100% Authentic
Stunning and extremely Rare limited edition stars lanyard

1. It is about 5 1/2' long including the cord
2. 5 stars 2 are larger than the other 3
3. it has 2 hang tags. One small and a large one.
The large one has the words SEOUL MAY 2006 laser printed
4. It is hard to tell from the pictures but there are 2 colors used . A yellow gold and what seems like an off white.
5. The color part has a texture almost like a glitter
Collectible dream super Rare find low buy nowor best offer"



seller - from-old-to-new-items

It's probably a genuine Coach lanyard, but the "Olympics" part is pure BS. Not only is there no official Olympic logo - all the stamp says is "Seoul May 2006" -
THE SEOUL OLYMPICS TOOK PLACE IN SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER 1988, NOT MAY 2006. There were NO SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES AT ALL IN 2006, ONLY WINTER, and those took place in Italy. I don't know WTH that date is supposed to signify but it sure isn't the Seoul Olympics. The Coach label just says "874GW KOREA SINGAPORE LANYARD"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_Olympic_Games

Couldn't the seller have taken 2 minutes to LOOK UP THE ACTUAL DATES OF THE ALLEGED OLYMPIC GAMES???

Interesting....I wonder how many of these "extremely rare" keychains she has/had.

This one was sold on December 12 (and buyer left positive feedback, thus not a non-payer):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-extre...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Another subsequent listing for the same item was sold on January 21:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-extre...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

And a third listing ended as unsold and with the relisted one posted by Hyacinth:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-extre...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
 

Thanks, BB, I didn't look for any previous fakes. Anyone who reports, please report ALL the item numbers BeenBurned has posted above.

This is how I worded my original report to Ebay, please feel free to use the information but in your own words when reporting:

listed as a 2006 Olympics lanyard.. Coach NEVER made or sold any 2006 Olympics items - this is a standard cellphone lanyard, genuine Coach but with no connection at all to the Olympics. Olympics items are always trademarked with the official Olympics logo as well as a stamped-on set of codes unique to official Olympic items. This has neither. A CHEAPLY ENGRAVED TAG THAT SAYS SEOUL MAY 2006 DOES NOT MAKE ANYTHING AN OLYMPIC ITEM. this is misrepresentation and more than just Keyword Spamming.

AND THE FINAL PROOF IS THAT THE SEOUL OLYMPICS TOOK PLACE IN SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER 1988, NOT MAY 2006. there were NO SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES AT ALL IN 2006, ONLY WINTER, and those took place in Torino, Italy

Are we sure the lanyards are fake? Or are the listings misleading? I don't see anything on the keychain or packaging that indicates that the item is a commemorative Olympics item though I have no idea what the "Seoul" reference would indicate.

There's no way to tell. The charm colors are different from the original Star Lanyard 60069, the style number 874GW on the plastic bag the lanyard came in doesn't match anything in my records and Coach probably wouldn't have used that 3-number and 2-letter combination anyway. But if it's an Asia-only item it may be genuine, but it's NOT an Olympic item and it's deceptive and KWS at the very least.

ETA - this is the only thing I can find that fits. Coach opened their Korea flagship store in Seoul in May 2006.
http://mengnews.joins.com/view.aspx?aid=2727574

They also opened a flagship store in Taiwan in 2006 but I can't find any mention of a Singapore grand opening.
But there's a BIG difference between a lanyard made to commemorate a store opening and that was probably a giveaway anyway and a "2006 Olympics" lanyard.
