Thread: Coach Handbag: Please help authenticate purse! (Part 2)

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum.
Hope u can help me to authenticate this <COACH Gabby bandana tote bag pink F16042 (Brand New with price tag) SGD160 only> which I had purchased from Ebay. It's my fav hot pink colour and big enough for my iPad. Wanna give to my friend as a birthday present if I can't find anything nice for her.....

Sorry, I can't post any link as my post count in less than 10.

Thanks so much!

Oh, I see you posted here too. A pic of the creed patch would be helpful.

I think it looks fine.

It's a made for factory outlet bag and it looks like the seller got it at quite the discount, so it was probably from 2010 (the date on the receipt is Jan 2011).

With bags like this, you don't have a lot to rely on for help with authenticating. I remember the bandana stuff, so it isn't something that was made up (some fakes depict styles that were never made). I went mostly off of the creed patch, but looked at some other features too. I'm not saying fakes don't have creed patches, what I mean is that when you have seen a lot of them then you know what looks authentic and what doesn't. The patch is crisp, clean, and straight. The wording is correct for this item. The style number (last part of number) is consistent with this style. Does that help?

Thanks.

Look up Coach 13759 on ebay, there are a few listed. It is a factory outlet bag, the lining is supposed to be solid.

Miss Priss, i am almost certain this bag is a fake and there are numerous reasons why. But wait till you hear from a Moderator for confirmation.

I don't have access to a number for it because the lady says that she contacted Coach Customer Service and they confirmed that her bag is real and that we should take her word for it.
Could someone please give me an opinion based on the pics provided on whether it is real or not....and give me some details on how you know it is or isnt?
I'm just curious about this because there seems to be a bunch of people posting in our groups with "fake" handbags claiming that they are real.

I don't need to see the creed patch. This is fake, absolutely no doubt about it. I agree with Fedup.
