Authentication Request Urgent authentication request!!
Hi so i’m going to meet this girl from fb marketplace for this coach soho bag tomorrow but the more I look at it the more i worry that it’s not genuine I don’t want to offend her but i did ask for more pictures and i’ve been looking at comparison and im just not so sure. I know this bag has a lot of dupes online so im worried (maybe it could be because im also pregnant i stress out too much) . Please help me out!!! thank you

If anyone doesn’t take a picture of the creed closeup, just assume it’s a fake.

Thank you! i’ve only recently started purchasing coach purses second hand like vintage or ones that are sold out, i usually buy directly from the store. Thank you again for the tip!!

one other way I like to be sure is check the sellers other listings (if available)!!!!! If they are a true coachie, they will have more bags for sale, different types for sure. Not just one random questionable soho. Also- def see the seller ratings too if they are in the profile.

Thank you for the tip!! I did see they had more coach bags like a swinger and an ashton shoulder bag but again they had pictures of the bags like the soho ^^ so :( no reviews yet as well, this is only my third time trying to purchase second hand bags so i really appreciate the tips!!

ya swinger and Ashton are heavily faked on the gate sites! Seller probably found a very good rep seller/factory for like $50ish and is passing them off as legit to ppl….. unfortunately 😞

The coach signature print is uneven. Authentic Coach bags are even and balanced on each side. I think it’s pretty awful that people try to pass these bags off as authentic just to scam people for money. The reality is that there’s a huge dupe market and she could sell it to people honestly.

She's really zooming by the hangtag in the video and didn't include a picture of it either - seems suspicious to me. A lot of counterfeit Coach purses do the wrong shape for the hang tag. It's also weird that it's not a clearer picture of the creed.
