I PURCHASED A COACH,  FENDI, AND A GUCCI HANDBAG ON EBAY BACK IN DECEMBER FOR MYSELF, THINKING "WHAT A  GREAT DEAL"  THEY WERE CHEAPER THAN $450.  ALL OF THE HANDBAGS CAME WITH ID CARDS, SERIAL NUMBERS AND DUST BAGS SO I NEVER ASSUMED THEY WERE KNOCK-OFFS.  THE EBAY SELLERS FEEDBACK WAS  VERY GOOD.  IAM NOT BLAMING SELLERS BECAUSE DID THEY KNOW THE BAGS WERE KNOCK-OFFS? ARE THE SELLERS EDUCATING THEMSELVES ABOUT KNOCK-OFFS AND HOW TO SPOT THEM? THEY SHOULD. IT IS THE SELLERS RESPONSIBILITY  TO EDUCATE THEMSELVES. 

I WAS SEARCHING THE WEB ONE DAY AND TYPED IN FAKE COACH HANDBAGS TO LEARN HOW TO SPOT KNOCK-OFF HANDBAGS, A WEBSITE CAME UP LOCATED CHINA WITH KNOCK-OFF HANDBAGS THAT CAME WITH CARDS, SERIAL NUMBERS AND DUSTBAGS, THEY LOOKED SO REAL, THE SEAMS & STITCHES WERE IMPECABLE,  ALL THE  G'S AND C'S LINED UP AND YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.....THEY MAKE IT TO THE USA AND PEOPLE LIKE US BUY THEM AND SELLERS PROBABLY BUY PURCHASE WITH INTENT TO SELL BELIEVING THESE BAGS ARE REAL AND THE UNSUSPECTING BUYER PURCHASED THINKING IT IS REAL AND IT ISNT.

 IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE WEBSITE I FOUND YOU WILL SEE THAT THEY ADVERTISE THAT THEY HAVE NEW STATE OF THE ART MATERIAL TO LOOK  LIKE LEATHER AND THE FACT THAT CHINA HAS MASTERED THE DESIGN OF KNOCK-OFF OF "ITALIAN" DESIGNER HANDBAGS! ONE WAY TO TELL ESPECIALLY COACH HANDBAGS....IF IT SAYS IT IS MADE IN CHINA, IT IS NOT REAL...COACH IS NOT MADE IN CHINA S BE CAREFUL.WITH AUTHENTIC DESIGNER HANDBAGS  ALL THE C'S/G'S  NEED TO LINE UP EVEN ACROSS THE SEAMS.......STITCHING MUST BE EVEN ACROSS THE HANDBAG,  ID CARDS HAVE COACH, GUCCI, FENDI ON IT, THE ID CARDS ARE THICK AND DUSTBAGS ARE BROWN OR BLACK WITH ORANGE OR RED THICK TIE STRINGS .  KNOCK-OFF ID CARDS ARE FLIMSY AND  HAVE CHINA WRITTEN ON IT (NOT REAL) AUTHENTIC HANDBAGS ARE MADE IN ITALY NOT CHINA... USUALLY THERE ARE THREE ID CARDS...THERE IS ALWAYS A THICK LEATHER TAG SEWN INSIDE THE AUTHENTIC HANDBAG WITH THE BRAND NAME SUCH AS FENDI  WITH SERIAL NUMBER ON THE LEATHER TAG.

 AND......OH MY GOD,  KNOCK-OFF DUST BAGS ARE FOR SALE ON EBAY! COACH DUST BAGS ARE USUALLY BROWN WITH RED THICK TIE STRINGS. THE MARKET IS HUGE SO BE CAREFUL. I WAS STUNG BIG AND HAVE EDUCATED MYSELF. EBAY HAS WONDERFUL RESOURCES ON COMMUNICATION BOARDS ABOUT KNOCK OFFS SO PLEASE VISIT US AND EDUCATE YOURSELF AND SPREAD THE WORD PLEASE...AND VISIT OFFICAL FENDI-COACH-GUCCI WEBSITES BEFORE YOU BUY..THIS EXAMPLE IS A KNOCK OFF
