It's listed as Mia Hobo Here

http://cgi.ebay.com/Coach-Authentic...emQQptZUS_CSA_WH_Handbags?hash=item3ca9225b69

I think the Mia is actually a satchel style.

That's incorrect. It's a Soho leather laced small hobo (as stated above) and original retail was $248.

Oops. Never mind. I was thinking you were referring to another post. :shame:

Hi, I found this picture of this Coach fake online and I want to know if there was a REAL Coach version of a bag like this or if this style was just made...

If there was, what's the name of it?
It's the duffel style, white trim bag in the backgorund

Hello, I am a new full time purse forum lurker and an infrequent poster. I need some help with 2 bags. I am a newer coach gal and not versed in the bags like you folks are.
1.) The black bag (not wallet) is a large bag with a braided strap and dog leash type of clasp, it has the bleeker lining in it and seriel # F0793-11424. I am wondering what it is? Bleeker? Style...hobo, shoulder bag, etc? Anything about it would be wonderful.
2) The 2nd bag is the satchel 10330. I am not great with colors yet. Would this be considered pond or mineral. My assumption was pond???
Any and all help will greatly be appreciated. I have learned so much from everyone here.
Thanks,
MnMom

Your first bag is the Bleecker Felicia from '07 and if my memory serves me the official color for black in that Bleecker line was called Coal

Your second bag is the Legacy Satchel in Pond from '06

Both are great bags!

I saw a girl with this bag at my job and I was unable to ask her what it was because I didn't have time and now I have not seen her in forever I know it's real because I've seen her with a lot of coach bags (even some that I have myself)

so it looks like an ergo and it had a turnlock on the front- it was really big- and it had patent leather all on the bottom and then it had some on the strap- it was a thick strap and then it was signature fabric.

TIA

Was it a hobo or tote? What color?

hi, the lining on your black bag is called tattersal or tattersol, nice bags you got yourself there

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know, if you still have the tags for the bags, each bag should have the name of the bag on the tag. It will say something like: "HMP SIG SAT", which means Hampton Signature Satchel or "CRI OUT SIG LG STCH" (Cricket Outlet Signature Large Satchel). If your not sure what the abbreviations mean, the tag should also have a style number on it, it should start with "F" followed by a number, if you "Google" this style number, it should pull up a search of a website that will have the appropriate name of the bag on it for you. If you do not have the tag, the inside of the bag should have a stamp on the zippered pocket, it will also have the style number on it, you will only search using the last 5 numbers of the style number.

Also, if you can not find it on the Coach website, DOES NOT mean that it is not authentic, it only means that it is not currently sold at a RETAIL store, it could still be at an Outlet/Factory store.

I am currently an employee at a Coach Factory store, so the information that I have is reliable and current. I am new to this forum and really don't get on here much, but I have seen a lot of incorrect information on here and since I am a current employee, I hope that I can help some people out that are misinformed or just don't know much about Coach.

If you could get me the style numbers of the bags you have, I can get the correct and technical names for the bags and for any that you are not sure about authenticity, I can verify that for you also.

I hope that helps you some.

And for anyone else who I can help, just ask, I will be glad to do what I can

Thank you for posting and wanting to help.

Although there is a lot of misinformation, believe it or not, much of it has come from Coach employees. With all due respect to you as an employee, in my experience (as well as that of many other posters), Coach employees, both at the boutiques and at the outlets are generally familiar with what is currently available in their stores or in the recent past.

Most of the employees haven't been working with Coach bags long enough to be familiar with the older styles.

We've heard from posters here and on the ebay boards where buyers were told a bag is fake because the SA didn't recognize the serial number or because the number wasn't in their computer system.

We've also heard of employees telling customers/callers that a bag is authentic based solely on a serial number.

There are several serial numbers that are valid on their correct styles, but those same serial number/style numbers show up on an infinite number of fakes. Yet a caller asking (for example) if a bag with A2J-6094 is authentic, usually they are told that it is an authentic bag.

The bag is ONLY authentic if it's on a signature demi bag which was made by Coach. I've seen the same serial number on fake demis as well as on other style bags that Coach has never made.

Although this is just one example, it's a prime reason why "googling" a style number or asking a Coach employee about a style number is not an accurate way of determining authenticity or style name.

Edited to add an example of what I'm talking about:
The following listing has a serial number with 6094 as the style number. This bag would be 6094 if authentic, but it's fake. But it's a good example of why a serial number CANNOT be used as a determining factor of authenticity.

Hi Hi! I'm a frequent lurker and and infrequent poster like MNmom but figured you wonderful people of tpf could help me out. I recently went through my closet and found these coach items I've never even used . I didn't even know I had them but would love to find out what they're called. My unfortunate habit of impulse buying got the best of me during my early college years and they were just lying forgotten in my closet

TIA!

I actually have those sneakers (mine are unworn too) and the black wristlet. Unfortunately I cannot give you the names right now since I am out of town. But I can tell you the wristlet was sold at the Coach outlet. As to the sneakers they made a line of bags with that fabric, that was sold in the Coach stores, I don't have a bag in the red color but I do have a bag and the sneakers in blue.

I don't recognize the pink bag but I have seen the small white bag.

In the future, please show a creed photo, or at least give the serial number. It's helpful in identifying styles. The sneakers should have the style name under the tongue.

#1 -- Does it have signature lining? If so, it's an older wave tote, style 1441

#2 -- Dot demi, style 3677

#3 -- Hamptons (?) wristlet, style 6786

#4 -- Style: Barrett, pattern is Optic C and the color looks like bordeaux

Thanks so much for the help I was trying to find a satchel with the large pocket on the front but that's okay... I don't think the style exists. Thanks again!
