I’m amazed that counterfeits can look this real. It scares me because I just bought a pillow tabby off eBay; I usually don’t do eBay, but it was the only place I could find the sold out Taffy color 😩
@@CC-hj4vq Sadly, I did not get that response from Mercari. I live in a rural area and will not have the time to meet their deadline and I showed some pictures as demonstrated in the video. They said I needed to have the bag authenticated. I understand, but I waited too long to file the claim and I can’t meet their 15 day time frame.
Thank you so much for this. I also bought a Coach Pillow Tabby 26 on Macari and sold it on Poshmark. My buyer is saying she thinks it is fake and wants to return it. I told her ask Posh for a return because I stand behind all of my bags. I bought it on December 15th and today is Jan 4th so I really need it to get shipped back to me soon. I am checking out the pictures of mine and don't see the issues you are talking about. My tag doesn't have the issues. I really think mine is legit and the buyer may have found one cheaper or something, but I will see. If it is fake it is a dang good one.
Hello there THANKYOU so much I just found your video online and it’s EXACTLY what I needed to hear!!! I’m actually looking into to purchasing your Ivory 26 bag in the video on Mercari now. I wasn’t aware of the differences and it is at a great price so I have been skeptical!! Is there anyway you may be able to assist by looking as well please?!
Great job again ! 👍 And fantastic that she got her money back ! 🤗 About donating the bag: there's always the risk that someone might sell it as the "real deal" even though they know better... I mean if not, then we wouldn't have this problem at all... 🙃 So how about taking out the Couch leather patch with text inside the bag. 🤔 And maybe write "replica bag" somwhere "descrete" inside, I mean, not so it would show when the bag is opened to pull out something. But so it would show on inspection. Well, at last remove the text patch... 😉
@@miya8198 I suggested they could write "replica bag" inside, not "fake" as you say... 🙃 A lot of people knowingly buy replica / fake bags because that's what they can afford or are willing to pay. Their choice, and then they themselves KNOW what they have got... What would your suggestion be in this case then ❓ #1 To not donate the bag ? #2 To donate and let the new owner believe that they got a "real" bag ? (To me option #2 would be to not respect the new owner...)
It's not my preferred place to buy, there are TONS of scammers. I have bought through them though, I just do all the tricks to try and stay safe...I actually made a video about it - how to shop on ebay, poshmark, mercari, vestiaire....
They have authenticated options and have always been great when I get something not right. But that said I always buy my coach bags in boutique stores. I just don’t by them used anymore.
I don’t condone anything being fake or trying to pull it off as real.. but could someone sell it & let the consumer know it’s fake & sell it at the price they choose still?
@@myluxurycloset529 To be honest, I didn’t realize it was still illegal to do that. I personally don’t buy fake handbags. Thank you for letting me know.
I understand. There are some bags that I also love, but won't buy because I am not willing to pay what they cost. Luckily there are so many less expensive options available🥰
What do you think???
No

@@TheHopefulminimalist Yes it's super scary, I agree!
Oh wow. Did not even realize that Coach bags are bothered to be counterfeited. I get the bags with a price tag in thousands, but Coach? 🤦♀
yes - they have been for decades if not longer! 😓

Awesome ending for the buyer thanks for sharing. I say a side gig authenticating handbags is in your future.
Thank you for watching! Maybe....but i'm just having fun for now:)♥️
Mercari still has a BUNCH of these fake pillow tabbys but they are selling for around $130.33 currently
wow that is horrible!

Oh that's so frustrating! I hope it all works out🙏🙏🙏...
Excellent video series! You are very detailed. Keep it coming. 😊
Thanks so much - I will!!!
HI Aaryn 😘 great job again!! 👍 so happy the person got her money back 🎉🎉 have a great sunday 😘
thanks so much - you too!!!🥰

I am glad I could help, but I don't have that bag anymore 🩷
hii! sorry i dont understand about the button "coach coach" vs the random number, is it one of the signs that button with random number is replica?
I think Coach makes some bags both ways but can't remember in this particular case...it's been a while since I've had this bag.

Thanks and that's a great idea. In this case, I know it has already been donated, but I will suggest in future;).🥰
Donating a bag to a woman's shelter and then writing fake inside is downright mean

ty so much for that video)
I wanted to ask...Why some coach magnetic snaps have "NO ATD" instead of "USA PAT" and so on. Are these bags fake?
hmmm - I have no idea! Thx for watching:)🥰
Mine says USA PAT, do you think its fake? 😢
So glad she got a refund!!! Another great video 🌸💖
yesss!!!! thanks so much🥰
Would you feel comfortable purchasing handbags off Poshmark?
It's not my preferred place to buy, there are TONS of scammers. I have bought through them though, I just do all the tricks to try and stay safe...I actually made a video about it - how to shop on ebay, poshmark, mercari, vestiaire....

Does your bag say Coach the inside pocket lining? Hope you can help me. I believe i bought a fake bag in Ebay :(
sorry I no longer have this bag.,.

they certainly could but it would be illegal...

no problem!
Just brought the BI just brought the Blue pillow tabby from Dollars. I hope it is not a replica
What's Dollars? The Aqua?
i love this design very much but i cannot afford the original...hence im not buying at all. 😢
I understand. There are some bags that I also love, but won't buy because I am not willing to pay what they cost. Luckily there are so many less expensive options available🥰
Is the ivory one you’re holding in this video authentic?
yes 1000%. I do not support replicas and/or fakes. Bought from Coach or a department store (I think Coach...)
Amy opportunity to send us the IC of mine as when I saw ur video I feel mine not authentic
I'm not sure I understand...
Right off the bat, it’s the edge of the bag made me feel suspicious the pink one isn’t real. It’s so off, so ugly looking to me
😱
I hear you - it just looks "cheap"😢
IF did not know it it would think it was real
it's very close...but Mercari acknowledged mine and others suspicions by their speedy refund...
that why by coach from Coach store or macys I have have peace of mind for me
Wow so many scams that you don't even want to take a chance.
It's definitely something to think about!!!
