Sorry the pic turned out too small, I am not familiar enough here yet to have figured out how to post it huge. Anyway, the number is F04K-9349. Thanks you two that responded.

Looks very similar to an outlet bag I bought - my first Coach bag actually- except mine had brown suede with mini-sig fabric

Hi Everyone, I'm looking for a coach bag. I don't have a pic or style number only a description, maybe someone has seen it and knows what I'm talking about. Its a small (camera) like bag, and has a a long strap like a swingpack, sort of a fanny pack, but It can go across you back or front. I saw one similar on the swiss army page and it's called a travel companion. It's about 6-8 inches in length by 3 inches width by 6-8 inches height. I saw it in khaki with the big C's and a brown stripe at the bottom. I want it for christmas but it's no longer listed on the coach website. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

You mean just a Coach swing pack in the signature stripe from last season? (the new sig stripe is in metallic colors).

no, its almost the same size but it's not so flat.

IT's REAL i'm a coach FANATIC...I know everything there is about that company....the easiest way to tell if a coach is real is to look at the stitching and make sure its lined up the C's will have a shiny look too...COACH puts authenticity patches on just about everything...Also if you take it to a COACH store alot of the times those workers can't tell fakes from real ones so you would have better luck on here....any more questions about them and i'll be glad to help you.

Good evening ladies. I'm Michele, and I'm new to this forum. I just purchased a Coach tote on Ebay, and I'm afraid it's a fake. The Ebay item number is 310003217877. Would any of you experts take a look for me and give me your opinion. I would appreciate any help you could offer. Thanks!

Hey... Don't freak! From the looks of it... your bag looks authentic to me! I'm at least 95% sure of it... Once you recieve it, post pictures of it.... Congrats on the newbie!

Hello! The purse in the pictures looks just fine to me. What made you think it was a fake?

missmay72 · December 6th, 2007, 07:40 AM

Thanks for the responses!!

The leather trim and straps don't feel or look like real leather. They are patent leather, but they're wrinkly (if that makes sense). Also the round metal Coach hangtag feels cheap. It's hollow. It feels like I could push it in. The seller swears it's real, but I'm not convinced.

Does anybody have this bag. What do the trim/straps look like on yours? And the metal hangtag?

Thanks so much!

Is the bag you received the one in the picture? There is always the possibility of a bait and switch. Can you take your own pictures of the bag and post them on here?

missmay72 · December 6th, 2007, 09:54 AM

Good news! The seller agreed to accept a return, even though her auction states all sales are final. The bag is already in the mail, or I would post my own pics. It does appear to be the one in the listing, but it just doesn't "feel" real, if you know what I mean. The leather felt cheap. The jacquard felt a lot rougher and lighterweight than my real Coach. The hangtag was lightweight and hollow. I'm still not sure. It might have been a good fake???

Anyway, hopefully it's all done now, as long as she does give me the refund. Thanks for your help ladies. I'm going to keep checking this site. It seems very helpful!

The photos look authentic to me. If you have doubt then you should take it to the nearest Coach store and have them look at it.

Zombiegirl · December 6th, 2007, 09:58 AM

Ok, forget my previous post.
