COACH Hall of Shame - Post Coach fakes here!

TPF may earn a commission from merchant affiliate
links, including eBay, Amazon, and others


You posted the wrong link, did you have 2 different fakes to report?

The one you posted is from one of the most INFAMOUS bad sellers on Etsy - GutsyGirls has sold dozens of fakes, and CONSTANTLY LIES about her item's age and identification. This one is a Saddle Bag with a fake 1996 serial number that's in the wrong font for that plant, and is described as a Bonnie Cashin bag, 20 years AFTER Cashin stopped designing for Coach.

If there was any point in reporting fakes to Etsy, I'd look for more since I'm sure there will be other reportable items, but the sad fact is that Etsy doesn't care. That seller was reported dozens of times to Etsy and also sells or sold under " DEBBIEB208 " on Ebay.but is currently using using " CLASSICCOTTAGE7 " on Ebay. Searching here at tPF for "GutsyGirls" makes interesting reading.

Do NOT buy from ANY of these seller IDs!

You have the incorrect seller ID for the listing that comes up and the bag shown isn't an NT fake but IS another fake.

These are the pictures:
Etsy Gutsy Girls aka debbieb208 aka classiccottage fake J6D-9988 creed.jpg Etsy Gutsy Girls aka debbieb208 aka classiccottage fake J6D-9988 front.jpg
The seller of the bag on Etsy is GutsyGirls and she has a long history of listing fakes and being discussed here.

There are 6 pages (!!!) of discussion on her:
https://forum.purseblog.com/search/9505439/?q=debbieb208&o=date

And as a warning to those who may search ebay for vintage bags, although debbieb208 isn't selling Coach on ebay, she IS selling using classiccottage7 .

What the heck? This is one of her current listings:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/223696221102

ETA: Hyacinth was up earlier than I and beat me yet again!

And since Hyacinth mentioned the probability that there are more fakes to report to Etsy, I decided to do a little checking on the bags shown in this link.

This is the very first bag that is listed:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/709567...ach-coach-bagcoach?ref=shop_home_feat_1&frs=1
#2 has no creed and can't be authenticated; purposely omitted? I think so!
#3 is another fake: https://www.etsy.com/listing/727935...age-coachcoach-bag?ref=shop_home_feat_3&frs=1

And that's just from the first 4 listings!

She just doesn't care, doesn't make any effort to learn about the products she sells and continues to list fakes and inaccurate ages of her bags. DO NOT BUY FROM GutsyGirls on etsy or classiccottage7 on ebay.

I was wondering about that Ebay item too -
"Coach, Coach Bag, Coach bucket bag, Leather Bag, Coach, Coach Bag"
Bet you dollars to donuts that one was fake, or she thought it might be, so she removed all the photos. Or else she's been driving across the border to make "other" purchases. :biggrin:
 
I think this seller has been posted here before but she probably changed her name? nithing came up when I searched this seller.

this item isnt the only one thats fake probably

seller: tenkaren_japan
comments: made in korea and weird serial number

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/254322694366
My records show that this same item as well as another fake Coach bag were removed from ebay on October 17.

I don't recommend tenkaren_japan.

Here are the previous posts.

BUMP!

Obviously, Ebay is in agreement that Japanese sellers don't list fakes! So ebay doesn't remove the listings, at least not easily.
