Hi…I’ve never written one of these…so here it goes….

I write this in hopes of helping others to avoid buying a fake as I did.  This VERY popular LIMITED EDITION purse sold out before it made it to nation-wide distribution.  I was very excited to try and find this purse for a gift for a friend…and since my first attempt resulted in buying a fake, I have had some really nice E-Bayers answer all my questions to avoid buying another fake, and whant to share that info with you.  I see that some fakes/copies are still being listed – AND PLEASE KNOW, THIS IS NOT ANYTHING AGAINST THOSE SELLERS – THEY MAY NOT EVEN REALIZE THEIRS ARE FAKES.  Since I did not have the chance to actually see one in a Coach store, I bought what I thought was the real thing…but it was a cheap fake.  Now, having done some research, and calling Coach…this is what I know:

• It came in two sizes:  Style 10015 is the medium version hobo (which sold for $398); and style 10016 is the XL large version (sold for $598) (if you happen to have the Coach catalog – there is a typo on the page showing this purse – they have the wrong style and price for the medium size)
• It will have an outside zip pocket on the back, with zebra print lining
• It will have zebra print lining with an inside zip pocket
• The Coach serial number tag on the inside of the purse will be a dark brown leather, which is the same color as the handle
• The handle detaches on one side only (dog clip)
• It will have a zip top, with a tassled pull closure
• It will have a navy velvet stripe down the center of the front side
• The jean belt loops are real loops…no fully stitched down
• The denim is actually real distressed (washed) denim…it should not look like a new pair of jeans

I love E-Bay and this was my first time receiving anything other than what I bid on (i.e. a fake). 

I share this info for people like me who did not realize what the purse should look like inside and out.  Again, I must stress that anyone selling this purse without the above details MAY NOT realize they have a fake/copy…….

Please share this info with whoever you think would benefit…and I welcome any additions/comments that would help any other potential Buyer/Seller.

Thank you.
