I tried to find a website where I could see what the purse should look like with that serial number, but no luck. If anyone could send me a picture of what purse goes with that serial number I would appreciate it. Thanks.

No need for pictures - style # 1417 belongs to an all-leather East-West Duffle, not a Patchwork. Any 1417 that DOESN'T look like this is fake, sorry. Since I can't post links yet you'll have to add the http and the www bits yourselves;
coach.com/assets/product_images/drilldown2/1417_d2.jpg

And genuine Coach patchwork pieces will always have the patches on both sides, not just the front.

The Creed and the outlet mark would not have been stamped at the same time. The creed is stamped at the manufacturing plant and the bullseye at the boutique, the outlet or Jacksonville, correct? So how could they both be double-stamped?

Someone who's worked at Coach can correct me if I'm wrong, but that stamp says fake. And I don't think Mercers were still being made in 2005. Nor have I EVER seen an outlet bag wih a double-stamped creed.

Who are you buying this from? If there's an online link please post it here - and DON'T pay if you haven't already.

Perry, please ask your seller if the outlet bulls-eye is double-stamped too, and if she can send a photo of the inside of the price tag. In the auction listing it doesn't look double-stamped.

Yay!! Thank you so much!~ The bag arrived on Monday(last 2 days), but I haven't use it, I was trying to find out if it's authentic or not, I even called local Coach store but they don't have this model here, not in their system so they can't help much >.< After buying the bag, I found out that that 100% ebay trusted seller do sell fake bags so I got worried and since then been trying to find out if it is really authentic. From the ebay guidelines it looks good, but I'm not convinced, luckily I found TBF >.< And this is my first Coach bag as well, and my first time buying online(ebay) >.< I'll post up the pic soon, yay, I can finally use it tomorrow >.<

Zombiegirl · October 8th, 2008, 06:29 AM

Yeah, post pics here as soon as you can. We will take a look at it!

Does it feel and smell like real leather??

amenor · October 8th, 2008, 07:08 AM

I think it does >.< I was just putting my stuff inside the bag, here are some pics that I took. Sorry, the pictures aren't that clear, I'm not a good photographer >.<
