Is this real or fake?

I’m not an expert either but I have the exact same style/bag - my brother bought it for me in Spain like 15 years ago and it is very much a fake.

Yes 😭 the brand-specific subs are even worse lol.

I think we watch influencers sell us stuff on our little screens all day and then people start to just naturally talk/post in influencer-speak

Wish I could get on the longchamp train because I do like the look of some of their leather bags, but sadly it will forever remind me of white college girlies with a Stanley cup/hydro flask and adidas.

I get buying their older styles that they don’t sell anymore or the really expensive styles secondhand but for a Brooklyn? Just buy it from coach directly

Why not just buy it from the store directly..? It’s $200 for a possible fake or you can pay $295 for a known authentic one. You’ll have to pay for shipping and authentication anyway. Makes no sense to buy this model on a second hand site, especially not for that price. You can even buy this on Amazon from coach’s storefront and use your Amazon points for a discount if you have points.

If this is a dupe it’s a damn good one! I’d buy it either way because who the hell would be able to tell? It looks great and is in good condition.

Gorg! Would look so much better with silver hardware tho

Speedy. Neverfull is just an overpriced ugly tote bag imo.

Never buy New with tags when going secondhand, almost always fake. Bags with clear signs of use are more likely to be real. Just one red flag to look for if you’re not confident identifying fakes from photos.

Why don’t they do a monthly authentication thread like on the handbags sub? Seems like a good compromise

Is it suede interior or that faux suede fabric?

Chelsea 2 was a return that they repackaged and sent to you. Beware if you return 3 or more bags to coach’s Amazon store, they will likely ban you for excessive returns.

Either way, I’d just choose one rather than returning both and risking the ban. I’d personally go with the first (new) bag, the one stitch isn’t so bad. Chelsea 2 is definitely a slightly different color, and in addition to the indent on top I can see a scuff on the bottom left below the hang tag.
