Official Coach CHAT Thread!!!

[Lake Effect]

I read it, and it cracked me up too! It seems like the guy was really trying to make the bag sound special. Maybe he is looking for a date? He wants this to go to a Young lady, biker, female elephant? What?

Exactly! It comes off like dating profile. And English is his second language.

I didn't notice the ESL, maybe because I have a lot of friends from other countries; so it went right over my head. That makes sense if being a female elephant is desirable in his culture. I am looking this up!

The pics on this Gramercy satchel aren’t great, but there does not seem to be wear on the corners, which can get abused on these bags. If this is authentic , this could be a real deal. I can’t seem to pull the trigger on it. I’d rather wait for Wheat or Powder blue . . .

You may want to rethink the seller. (My post below is for a different bag but obviously, the seller doesn't verify her items before listing.)

The past few days at work have just been awful. All I can say is ,
Thank You for posting this! rotflmao
Oh man, I am pretty sure I will be able to recognize his online dating profile if I come across it,
I will make you feel like the glorious elephant you are . . .
Look dude, you don’t have to use the word studded in every sentence? fragment? We. Get. It.
Really, it is gold. Gold.

LOL ok I completely forgot about this and now I’m laughing all over again!

In my quick search, I couldn't find anything cultural about being a female elephant. I did find National Geographic and Washington Post articles about how we should be more like female elephants.

Then that is what he obviously meant! Lol

I do love studs though, just not this many even if applied by a God.

I couldn’t help myself and bought it. I can’t wait to see the colour in real life. The photo of the creed patch (near the ink spots which I asked to see) looks like a very pale blue.

Wow, made in Italy? That is a rare one for sure. I never knew Coach made products in Europe, too. The more you know...

(COUGH)
Might I recommend reading the six Salearea Coach Guides posted in the Pinned section of the Coach Shopping forum? There's one that talks about Coach's Italian-made bags, but reading all six may give you some good information you didn't have before.

The thread starts here, and the Guides start at Post 14:

I am playing a little catch up. So glad this went to a tPFer. Would love to hear more about it.

Yup! Early on, from what I read, the early specialty lines were made in Italy. I even saw a Creed for a Willis recently that was made in Italy. And yes, if you read the guides Hyacinth provided the link for, after Coach was bought in 80’s, production started to move around to countries outside the US!

This is funny. The interesting thing is that the seller (usually) verifies authenticity of her items before listing them. She posts on the ebay discussion boards.

I happened to come across this listing from the seller. While the Coach bag is authentic, the Gucci logo stuck on the front is fake. (and why would someone do that?!?!?!)

No... no... oh no... the poor bag, that beautiful vintage leather. The seller should be ashamed with herself. I hope no one ever buys it so she can be stuck with that atrocity. ;-;

Yuck!

The bag is genuine but it's from 2006, so NOT vintage and the "customization" must make the bag weigh a ton!

And at $800, that's pretty pricey!
vintage Custom leather Studded Womens Coach Purse by Coach (biker/rocker)

About a month ago, I posted a listing from a "stud" man who slathered studs on everything - handbags, boots, men's shirts and jackets.

Here's another listing I came across today from a different seller but why, oh why would someone do this?!?!

Not only did someone wreck (IMO) a Sonoma bag but the listing doesn't even disclose that those fugly studs are "after market!" (The lining is disgusting but the outside doesn't look like it needed "fixing."
