Hello from a Helpless husband in need of a birthday present for my wife. This is my first post, but I can't start my own thread until I get 5, so I was hoping to ask a general question of you all in this chat thread.


My wife had mentioned a bag she wanted, but of course I got the "Don't buy it for me" comment. However, being a good husband, I'd like to get it for her. My issue is that I can't find it at Macy's in the color I need. I might be able to get it at a coach store, but I did find it on Amazon. However, it's from a place called "Jomashop" I did a search on them, which led me to here. All of the comments I see though about that site seem to be older, from 7-8 years ago, and I can't find anything recent. Most at that time were positive, with just a few "fakes" mixed in.


Anyway, if it's appropriate, I'd like to ask for you all to help out this husband and give me your opinion. It's $250 there, versus $300 at Macy's/Coach. I see there is a 30 day return, plus Amazon's guarantee, but I wouldn't want to have a fake one presented as a present, only to have to take it back. Here is the Amazon link:


http://www.amazon.com/Coach-Edie-Si...&keywords=Women's+Signature+Edie+Shoulder+Bag


Sorry if this isn't appropriate in here, apologies if it's not. I just don't know if I could come up with 5 other posts about purses in order to post my own thread, after all, I am a little rough around the edges and purses are not my specialty...... Thanks!

Amazon isn't considered an authorized retailer for Coach. There is absolutely no way to tell if you will end up with a fake or not, since the seller is using stock photos, not actual photos of the bag. If you want to take a chance, you could order it and post pictures on the forum once you get it. Here is our authentication thread: http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-sh...oach-read-1st-page-before-posting-889527.html
Macy's is an authorized retailer. You can also check Zappos. There are several other authorized retailers who might have it. It is an older design so it might have moved to clearance. There is a list of authorized online stores halfway down this page: http://www.coach.com/counterfeit-education.html

I bought a Coach purse from Amazon that was authentic. It was through one of their authorized sellers but it was fulfilled by Amazon. Before I purchased it, I called their customer service department and asked if they guaranteed the authenticity. The rep told me that anything they fulfill is authentic and if I had any problems with it I could return it for a full refund. That being said, does your wife only want a Coach signature Edie because Macy's has a leather Edie in petal and fog for the same price?

Thanks for the reply. Yes, my wife is pretty picky, so I would be hesitant to drop $300 on one that she didn't specifically say she wanted. So I will look at the links that Wateve posted and see what I can find.

Thanks!

If you can wait a short while, Coach is having an upcoming event and you will be able to get a nice reduction on the retail cost of the bag. Good Luck!

I was in Macy's yesterday and I overheard an older gentleman tell his wife, "Don't waste your money on these Coach bags. You can go to the outlet and get the same thing for $100." I couldn't help but giggle at him. The same couple proceeded to bombard the poor Coach salesman because the wife had previously purchased a white leather D& B (more than 3 years ago) and it was starting to yellow. She was looking for some sort of compensation. Holy moly.

Is everybody aware of the stunning Coach 1941 and Opening Ceremony collaboration? I just stumbled upon pics of them on Instagram and they are available for sale on openingceremony.com. Check 'em out! They are very cute!
