You mentioned the counterfeit websites....a while back, I actually reported one of these fake coach sites to Coach, they emailed me back, and I got it SHUT DOWN!
I received a fake Trail Bag in a lot of bags I bought from eBay. I use it daily. I won't resell a fake bag but I love the style so I kept it for myself. I hate to throw stuff away.
I didn’t buy a counterfeit, but I did purchase a decent looking bag recently from Walmart that reminds me SO much of the Soho. It was offered in green, black, red/brown and a “leather”/cloth black version. I typically don’t like the look of plastic bags, but the solid black version with gold toned hardware was very nice looking at a very inexpensive price. So…no shame in buying what you like and what looks good to you!
Yes the color of the *HOTDUPS* is beautiful, it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store things like gloves, beanies, scarves, etc.
I purchased a counterfeit coach Sonoma bag once (didn't know)...it was plum colored nubuck leather. I didn't want to carry it when I have so many other authentic bags, but I felt the same about not wanting it to go to a landfill.....so I sent it to the thrift store (someone might find it and absolutely love it)..but before I did, I wrote "Not authentic" on the inside creed with a sharpie.
Hi Michelle, I purchased a vintage coach rambler; the creed is on the zipper flap and does not come out of the bag. However, on the back of the flap on the back if the creed
I love you so much! I just recently discovered your *HOTDUPS* and I am in love with you!! Your videos are hilarious and your energy is awesome! Keep living your life
I have to say, I understand why people say they don't care about people buying fakes or counterfeit goods, or why people should care. However, people don't necessarily "care" about people who own fake goods. Smart people will buy bags at kislux . In fact, people who have money to buy luxury goods and invest in them do so for a reason.
I feel like you're a video interesting, and i'm not mad it's a fake.. My first (coach )bag was when I was 20. I went to new york city and where they sell the counterfeits before I knew why they sell counterfeits for, I bought one and I was in love and I knew when I was going to make let's not making money in my career that I was going to purchase my first coach and I did and I still have it. I wore that counterfeit out! I'm not mad at it.I'm not mad at people who purchase counterfeit.Even if they always do, because they have no intention of purchasing the real thing anyway... I would tell someone to be mindful of who you're buying from, that way you're not funding something that's not good.
I’m not upset that you bought a bag you knew was counterfeit. You bought a bag with your money that you knew you were going to enjoy. It’s different when you buy knowing something that is counterfeit versus someone buying a counterfeit thinking it’s real. I definitely feel bad for people who buy counterfeits unknowingly.
I accidentally sent my question without completing! My vintage coach rambler has the creed on the outside compartment and looks authentic. However on the inside of the zippered compartment, it looks to be stamped in ink, 201 and some type of symbol, and then 6 and then 22 and after that 3 dots in the form of a triangle. Do u know what this means, Michelle? Did I purchase a fake? Thank you so much for any input u may have! Anita
@@anitalayton5139 share it in Vintage Coach Eyecandy but what you might be describing is the marking of the leather before it was made into a bag. I just need to see;)
@@birdybloom2 thank you, Michelle! I don’t see how to send a pic but will be at work tomorrow and ask someone to help me! I’ll send u that tomorrow:) Anita
You are looking at it like it's a nice leather bag it's not a Coach. No shame. The fake Willis bags I got made me mad. I was so freaking exasperated because of eBay letting that seller get away with it even though I could prove it was counterfeit because it was over the 30 days so cut my nose off to spite my face and I will not use it I gave it to my sister to use. She thinks I'm stupid because it's a nice leather bag but I said it would be like buying a diamond and then finding out it's a CZ. She kind of understood But then the other which was a really pretty navy blue Willis I gave it to my daughter under this stipulation that she not sell it. She's in college and they have an on selling group. I told her when she no longer wants to carry it bring it home it'll go back in my closet. I'll figure out how to get rid of the Coach creed.
Interesting. I noticed a fake Willis bag listed on Mercari, so added a note for the seller it was fake due to the serial number beginning with W72. Instead of doing the right thing and not selling it, the seller had Mercari hide my comment by marking it " under review" and then they sold it anyway. It is truly a " Buyer beware" because the reseller sites are pro resellers.
I admire what you have chosen to do with this bag! I love that it's not going into a landfill and is still getting loved.

I admire your stance of respecting a nice leather bag. I would do the same...if you like the bag, carry it and enjoy it.
I purchased a counterfeit. Willis removed all things coach and use it as a work essentials bag. Thank you for sharing and enlightening us. 😊
I feel like this is like taking one for the team! We learned so much from this video! Thank you!
Thanks for explaining what makes this bag a counterfeit - that will help many people 100%.
I love it!! Know your enemy! Glad the bag serves you well❤️

It’s a beautiful leather bag!! Saved from the landfill. YAY!!! You do You - you are the only one who has to love your bag!! 😊

I’m stealing this idea! just got a fake Coach wallet from eBay, not worth the fight and hassle still nice though donating with a note 😅

@@anitalayton5139 that is a good thing!
I think it’s a gorgeous bag. I want one ! ❤❤❤❤

Of course I had to watch right away. What I don't understand is using good leather and then using cheap hardware.
@@brettsarahavari agreed, the hardware is quite bad in this one.

@@MyAdventureToday absolutely!!!!! One of the reasons that I bought it….otherwise it would have potentially continued to circulate tricking people.
