Description

The listing, One Of The Older Crossbody Coach Bags has ended.

MY DAUGHTER IN LAW BOUGHT THIS FOR ME IN THE 90'S BUT IT IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION ... THE STRAP CAN USE A LITTLE CLEANING THOUGH. YOU CAN USE A SMALL SCRUB BRUSH & SOME WISK AND THEY SHOULD COME CLEAN. MEASUREMENTS ARE 9 WIDE BY ABOUT 10 HIGH WITH ABOUT A 19 AND A HALF DROP STRAP.
SOMETHINGS TO MAKE NOTE OF ... ABOUT OLDER CROSSBODY & OLDER COACH PURSES ... IT COMES FROM THE (Coach Authenticity Guides - Facts and Myths) CENTERED C RULE or THE C'S ARE PERFECTLY STRAIGHT RULE MOSTLY true, with plenty of exceptions. The center seam or a line down the front of a bag with Signature or Op Art C's should usually divide it into 2 halves that are mirror images of each other ... But, Sometimes the back isn't correctly centered like style 10483 the front is mistaken for the back.
Some C patterns on styles like some older Scribble Hobos don't follow the rule. Some Messenger Bags, Heritage Stripe Crossbody Messenger have NOTHING centered.
Any Guide that claims to tell you exactly how many numbers and letters should be in a Coach serial number is probably wrong or will be soon. Coach numbers can be as few as 6 digits for 1996 Summer Olympics items, up to 11 and possibly more for current year (2011) items if they were made for the outlets or for Coach's retail partners. However, Coach numbers should never have 5 or fewer digits, should never be missing the "No" in front of the serial #, and should never have 2 dashes in the number. There should always only be 1 dash EXCEPT for a very few vintage/classic leather bags where the plant didn't set the number stamping mechanism correctly and it stamped 8 numbers and no dash.
THE "COACH EMBLEM IS STAMPED ON ALL THE HARDWARE" RULE
This Rule can vary from "on all the hardware" to "on at least one piece of hardware". NONSENSE. Most genuine Coaches don't have any stamps on the hardware at all. Some may have one or even two pieces stamped the more hardware is stamped the more likely it's counterfeit. Less Is More.

Questions & Comments

I as well love this bag even though it is not authentic, I am by all means NO EXPERT on coach bags, but I have learned alot along the way, one reason it's fake is because coach never uses that C pattern on the inside of the bag, also I could b wrong but it looked as if the c for craftsmanship was a g, and final I just learned that they also DO NOT put stuff on all the hardware! But I love and will bid real or not!!

Thank you so much ... you read and hear so much about what constitutes a fake and it's all so conflicting ... and i don't want to argue the fact because it is an old bag and from what I hear things have changed a lot as to what they did then & now. I just feel it you like it bid and if not don't.

WOW so after all that you have in your post you do know this is a replica/fake RIGHT?

Aug 30th, 2014 at 11:18:23 PM PDT by

All i know is what i was told and if someone thinks it a replica /fake then they do not need to bid on it ... i tried to call in the serial # and was told they do not authenticate over the phone.

Selling fake designer handbags is illegal. Counterfeit bags infringe on the copyright and trademarks of the designer and brand. By purchasing these bags, you are supporting these illegal acts. Instead, put away some money each month into your handbag fund and buy yourself the real thing for Christmas.

Wow you must NOT been in a real coach store because no they have not

It would seem that some people have yet to realize that this is not high school.

This should be a great reason not to peddle fakes • Child Labor

Most designer replicas are produced by organized crime and illegal enterprises. They are made by young children in very poor working conditions. By supporting organized crime, you aren't just supporting and contributing to child labor, but also to their other crimes including human trafficking, child abuse and prostitution.

• Appearance

Most fake bags look cheap. They are made from low quality leather. The colors and dyes are oftentimes uneven. The stitching and general construction are poor. Authentic designers take pride in their workmanship. Sweatshops don't. Who wants to look like a poser anyway? If you can't afford the real thing, don't buy it

But no worries we know who the classy ladies are on listia rather you think I'm rude or not least I'm not wrong

I was in the coach store last week and they had a bag with the c's on the inside and out, they have now broken their own rule that everyone raves about as the definitive replica vs authentic. Hmmmm

Beautiful bag! FWB!

Thank you!!!

Sep 10th, 2014 at 12:55:32 PM PDT by

well like i said I really didnt know and if anyone just likes the purse they can bid and if not well thats fine too. ;-)

Sep 11th, 2014 at 1:49:24 PM PDT by

i really like this purse but one sure way to tel is if the letters YKK are printed on the inside of any zipper, if not...its a fake.

Sep 10th, 2014 at 1:07:37 AM PDT by

Sep 10th, 2014 at 8:21:05 AM PDT by

Sorry missed it thank you

Sep 9th, 2014 at 10:48:06 AM PDT by

whats the size

Sep 8th, 2014 at 8:00:46 PM PDT by

The size is in the description above ... 9 wide by about 10 high with a 19 inch drop strap.

Sep 8th, 2014 at 8:14:51 PM PDT by

Yea... This is a replica... Coach doesn't make the C pattern like that! Sorry!

Sep 8th, 2014 at 6:09:47 AM PDT by

I'm sorry then ... if that is the case then anyone who doesnt want to bid doesn't have to ... if they decide they like it they can and if not no problem.

Sep 11th, 2014 at 2:13:52 PM PDT by

I agree with all its cute but not authentic. The two rules that never change is that Coach does not put its signature C's on both the interior and the exterior of thier purses. and all serial numbers will come up in a search.. meaning the number to the right of the dash.

Coach 11091 or Coach 11031 ( not sure what the second to the last number is) if you do a search the identical bag should come up perhaps with the different colors the style comes in. follow? When I did a search for this bag I could not find this cross body. Good luck with the listing. I hope the information is helpful.

it is thank you I never knew that!

Hi,

Because we can’t see items in person, our team of moderators cannot judge an item’s authenticity. We strive to remain neutral, impartial, and non-judgmental in these cases. If you're unsure about an item's authenticity, we recommend you contact the manufacturer of the item. If the manufacturer notifies us that an item is violating their copyrights, Listia will remove the item immediately and will take any necessary steps to protect our community.

We hope everyone has a great experience on Listia. Thanks and good luck to everyone interested!
