HELLO MY NAME IS VAL.I HAVE BEEN A SELLER & COLLECTOR OF COACH BAGS,AND OTHER DESIGNER BAGS FOR YEARS.IT GREATLY DISTURBES ME HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE LISTING FAKE BAGS.HERE ARE A FEW THINGS TO LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING A BAG.IF YOU SEE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING I WOULD ADVISE NOT TO BUY(THESE ARE ON COACH BAGS).

1.IF YOU SEE PLASTIC WRAPPED ON THE HANDLE~BIG NO NO!!

2.YOU CAN'T CLEARLY SEE THE COACH PATCH WITH #,OR HAVE ID.# LISTED IN LISTING.

3.A STYLE YOU ARE NOT FARMILAR WITH(MAKE SURE THEY REALLY MADE THAT PATICULIAR STYLE).I SEE LOT'S OF BAGS THAT ARE NOT EVEN A COACH STYLE.

4.ANY TAGS ON BAG THAT ARE NOT THE REGULAR WHITE COACH PRICE TAG.(I HAVE SEEN BLACK & WHITE LONG TAGS ATTACHED TO FAKES.)

5.AND REMEMBER IF IT LOOKS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE,IT PROBLY IS.

6.CHECK FEEDBACK & MAKE SURE NOBODY HAS QUESTIONED AUTHETICITY IN THE PAST.

7.ASK TO SEE LOT'S OF PHOTO'S,IF THE STYLE YOU WANT HAS FEET,LOOK AT THEM CARFULLY..LOTS OF FAKES HAVE FUNNY LOOKING FEET,IF YOU HAVE A BAG AT HOME LOOK AT IT AND COMPARE.

8.IF IT HAS A SEE THROUGH PLASTIC BAG THAT COMES WITH IT(SHOWN IN PHOTO)BEWARE,THIS IS USALLY A FAKE.(ASK SELLER WHERE THEY GOT BAG).COACH STORES DO NOT HAVE THESE BAGS.

9.****THIS IS A BIG ONE****ASK IF ZIPPERS HAVE ANY MARKINGS ON THEM,IF THE SELLER SAYS NO IT'S A FAKE!!!!!.COACH USES YKK ZIPPERS.THIS ALSO APPLIES TO COACH WALLETS. 

10.I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO HELP IN ANYWAY I CAN.

11.IF YOU SEE MULTIPLE BAGS OF SAME STYLE(USE CAUTION).

12.STOCK PHOTOS~ASK TO SEE ACTUAL PHOTOS OF THE BAG YOU WILL BE BUYING.ASK FOR A CLEAR PHOTO OF THE COACH PATCH,AND ANY ZIPPERS.

13.ASK QUESTIONS~IT'S YOUR MONEY,AND YOU WANT A BEAUTIFUL AUTHENTIC BAG,NOT A UGLY FAKE.YUK!

PLEASE BE CARFUL WHEN BUYING A BAG,THERE ARE SO MANY FAKES OUT THERE~ Very poor countries use forced labor.CRAZY working conditions,and it could support drug trade and possiable terrorist action.AND MANY OTHER BAD THINGS THAT COME WITH BUYING ONE.KNOW YOUR SELLER.I AM NO pro-claimed EXPERT,BUT DO KNOW ALOT ABOUT BAGS,IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION ON A CERTAIN BAG,I WOULD BE HAPPY TO HELP YOU WITHIN MY MEANS~PLEASE USE THE E-MAIL MAIL SYTEM WITH ITEM #,AND I WILL TAKE A LOOK FOR YOU..THANK YOU~GOD BLESS.

****PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO RATE MY GUIDE~MANY THANKS~HAPPY SHOPPING!!!~PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I CAN HELP YOU IN ANY WAY.******I'M NOT AFFILATED WITH COACH~JUST A LOVER OF THERE ITEMS,AND DON'T WANT TO SEE PEOPLE BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF.
