Salearea hires people to write the descriptions. There is always someone new working there and they aren't always well informed. I think it used to matter more to them that the titles and descriptions were exact; now I don't think they care.

Hi! It does really matter to us. We strive to be as accurate as possible in every listing and try not to ever let anything slip through the cracks. It is embarrassing and frustrating if something in our listing is ever less than completely accurate.

A while ago I messaged salearea correcting a listing for a "Made in United States" Coach bag that was listed as a 1970's bag. I received a thank you with the comment "I will make sure the new person responsible for the error reads our own guides"!

We really do sincerely appreciate any comments or corrections we receive. It helps us with training new writers. I think I may remember your email as I was the one who answered it. The writer who created those (inaccurate) listings actually does not work with us anymore.

I am so sorry if you received anything less than a kind reply! Julie and myself are the main two who answer emails and we both greatly appreciate the help we get from fellow handbag fanatics. Please accept my apologies if we were not thankful in our replies. We truly do appreciate the help. Sincerely :urock:

The responses I've gotten are from the sales and communications director and Julie, the senior listing designer. They have writers and editors that are supposed to check the writers' work. It sounds like there are many employees. I think they have independent contractors that shop for them.

That is correct. Julie does most of the training of our writers. Currently we have 3 writers other than Julie and one of the newer ones is still learning (while we are cracking the whip on her HAHA). We carefully edit her listings but sometimes some details accidentally fall through the cracks. We work in a pretty relaxed environment and sometimes that leads to inadvertent errors. We are working on keeping a balance between having fun and being consistent.

Maybe distance had something to do with it. No competition from the other side of the world!

We sincerely appreciate any help we get. Especially from fellow TPF'ers. I have never actually even looked at where someone was located or if they were potentially "competition". To be honest, that would have never crossed my mind. If I, or Julie, was ever anything less than thankful for any tips I sincerely apologize. I can not stress enough how grateful we are to receive help from other members. Seriously. THANK YOU!!! :D

I didn't mean to imply that I didn't receive courteous and appreciate replies. I certainly did. I just never received that particular comment about having your writers read your guides. I'm happy to help as I've been treated warmly by everyone in your organization.

UPDATE: The UA bag arrived today. It is definitely NOT a Coach bag. The leather in that bag is exactly like the leather in a Meyers bag I have. It is much stiffer than Coach leather. The hardware is a nickel finish Also, the bag is actually black and not navy.
I have already cleaned the leather and a ton of blue came off the front flap but none came off the rest of the bag. Shoe polish does not a navy bag make.


The bag is in good condition and it's not a bad bag. I did find a small tag that says it was made in Costa Rica but it is not attached so could be a red herring. The zipper on the inside pocket says YKK. The feet are much more rounded than those on a Coach bag. While there is no actual proof, my semi-educated guess is that this bag was "probably" made by Meyers.

Bonnie Cashin had the contract with UA and she was never an employee of anyone. All of her design work was her own and she never manufactured anything. She had many different contracts with various manufacturers which is why the bags she made for Meyers are similar to but different than those she made for Coach. So far, there is nothing to actually prove who the manufacturer of the UA bags actually is. Now I really am out of here and back on the road.
