I know that alot of us Coach TpF members think that we cannot be fooled by fake Coach merchandise, and I'm sure in 99% of cases this is true.
I just wanted to post this because I think there are alot of new members, and we all just need to be reminded to be cautious when buying online. The brutal truth of this posting is that once upon a time I DID purchase a couple of knock-off's (bad me) and it was years ago. I'm going to post 2 pictures at the end of this thread to let you ALL know that there are fakes items out there that can easily pass for authentic, and therfore we must be CAREFUL.
This is NOT to promote FAKE Coach, but rather to remind you to keep your guard up!!! If these would have been listed as authentic 1 year ago even when I thought I had alot of Coach knowledge, they would have fooled me!!!
BOTH OF THE PICTURES LISTED BELOW ARE FAKE/FAUX COACH ITEMS THAT I OWNED AND INSPECTED MYSELF. THEY ARE SO CLOSE TO "THE REAL THING" THAT IT'S SCARY!!!
I just want everyone to keep in mind these pictures next time you are going to bid on an item, and have that little gut feeling that something isn't right. Listen to that feeling!!!!!!
