The description -- Methinks someone doth protests too much!:
This auction is for a Super Cute Hello Kitty Coach Keyring!
When I say Authentic I mean it and STAND by it!
I purchased this item myself in 2006 from Coach at the International Mall in Tampa, they released this one and the rhinestone bow tie one to commerate 30 years of Hello Kitty that year. It is part of my personal collection and only severe financial issue bring about the liquidation of many of my collections. I have the Customer Service Number for Coach and am more than willing to get on the phone with them and ANYONE interested in this auction. If any other pictures are helpful please let me know and I will get them right away. There is no "made in china" stamp anywhere on this beautiful piece and the Coach emblem is on the back and the key ring right where and how it is supposed to be. If anyone has any need to discuss further please message me and I will go so far as to give you my number to call me to discuss further. Please check my feedback I strive for 100% customer satisfaction!
All of my items are from a smoke free home!



Coach has NEVER made a Hello Kitty keychain:

This seller had a bunch of fake keychain listings removed less than an hour ago and they've been relisted! (The sneaky seller mixes fakes and authentic, sometimes even in the same listing. Two previous lot listings (since removed) included both genuine and fake items.)

These are two of the fakes. There were others. (BCA fobs don't come in black and blue.)

The bag was listed before with Penny Pocket Purse creed #9755, removed, then relisted as "Coach Handbag 9072" with one picture only. Feedback contains several complaints from customers about fake Coach and Brahmin bags.
I'm going to post this statement twice because I believe it's really important:
It's really imperative that listings NOT be posted here or reported unless and until there's enough information to prove that they're definitely fake.

I missed the listing that was linked above but in looking at the other Coach listings from this seller, I have concerns with your allegation.

1. The seller's listings (generally) don't have enough images necessary to identify whether or not they're authentic.
2. The listing you've commented on that used "9755" as the style number and showing a wrong creed seems (9072) to have been the result of an honest error that the seller made.

I found these listings where the creed is shown (as 9072) but the bag is incorrectly described as being 9755:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-handbag-9755-/251446413848?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item3a8b5fca18&nma=true&si=joYdS69GZ6IzT4UJK5AyCJBwBEg%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
and
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-handb...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I don't think the seller was purposely deceitful. It appears she did a "sell similar" from this listing and forgot to change the style number in the title.

This is that bag above (style 9072), correctly listed with the right style number (however, lacking pictures necessary for proof of authenticity) and the same one that was removed after being posted on the Hall of Shame:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-handb...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557



It's really important that listings NOT be posted here or reported unless and until there's enough information to prove that they're definitely fake.

The consequences to a seller's account when possibly authentic items are removed can be dire.

BeenBurned, I've seen it here on wall of shame and, considering on eBay it was relisted under a different creed number and looking at the seller's less-than-perfect record, I thought that was enough for the bag to be reported as fake. What else I found strange - when relishing it after what you say was honest mistake she posted one picture only instead of 5 she had before, and this only picture was significantly trimmed so that it was really difficult to recognize the style. I did make a mistake but I hope you understand I had more than enough reasons for that. I'm going to contact eBay, apologize and explain what happened.
