Can anyone tell me if this is a real coach purse? I even went to a Coach store to authenticate but they didn't even know. Thanks in advance. <br><img src="http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i403/simsrchlm/DSC08898-1.jpg" border="0" alt="DSC08898"/></a><br><img src="http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i403/simsrchlm/DSC08896-1.jpg" border="0" alt="DSC08896"/></a><br><img src="http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i403/simsrchlm/DSC08899-1.jpg" border="0" alt="DSC08899"/></a><br><img src="http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i403/simsrchlm/DSC08901-1.jpg" border="0" alt="DSC08901"/></a>

Coach stores are the LAST places anyone should ever take anything for authentication! Don't waste your time or gas - Coach employees have no training at all in recognizing fakes, and often mis-identify real bags as fakes too.

This one is so obvious too, anyone with any experience can tell just by the second photo. Coach Patchwork items will ALWAYS have the same Patchwork details on both sides. Any time one side is a Signature C pattern, the item is fake.

This one also has the always-fake shiny gold lining with Coach logos - another huge red flag. And the creed patch is so badly sewn and stamped that someone should have been able to spot it as fake with their eyes closed.

Don't EVER take Coach products to their stores for authentication!

It seemed strange that they didn't know but now I know those employees have no idea what they are talking about. Thanks for the insight!
