It's here it's here!!!! The Coach Purse!!!! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

The inside is promising. Now, answer some questions...is the hang tag on the outside stiff or puffy (it should be stiff) and so should the leather one inside. How's the outside leather, is it really soft?

the hang tag on the outside is pretty siff, but the one on the inside is somewhat puffy in the middle of the tag. The leather on the purse where the C's are is pretty soft.

I was kinda upset cause I did find quite a few pen marks and a couple small stains. I did got get the magic eraser and it did NOT take the pen marks off. But it really did wonders for the bottom of the purse corners.

I wish I would have waited, I was looking on craigslist and saw the exact same purse brand new with tags for $85 so now I'm kicking myself in the A$$

I made a impulse buy cause I wanted so much for her to have this purse, it's small and petite just like her and I know she will just be tickled pink. If I can get the pen marks off, I will have it looking real nice!

Don't kick yourself- the one on Craigslist could very easily be a fake.

Looks like you got a great deal on an authentic one. I'm sure someone will come along with the perfect tip for removing the pen marks.

Here's something that might help?

thanks everyone! I will have to try some of the suggestions. I just don;t want to ruin it either.

LunasMomma · 12-06-2007, 03:21 PM

I'd take it to a dry cleaner and ask them if they can clean it safely, and hopefully remove the pen. If worse comes to worse (and it's ruined anyway if it cannot be cleaned professionally) you can always try the OxyClean stain spray stuff, it took ink out of my DH's shirt that had been through the dryer

Then handwash or use the machine's handwash cycle, with Woolite. Hang to dry, then spray with waterproofing spray (like you get for sneakers). I do this with my white Coach bag, it was SO grimy, but it looks new after I wash and treat it. The leather on the ends where the metal loops for the handle go through look a little worn, but that's bound to happen anyway. Like I said, if it's ruined anyway and there's no hope, might as well try washing it

Looks real to me, btw

You can call Coach and give them that number stamped on the inside to see if it's real for sure

I used the rubbing alcohol on it and it took most of it out, there was a deeper pen mark and I used the alcohol, then the magic eraser and it took some of the coloring off the leather

It's inside, so it's not to noticeable, but still!

But the magic eraser really cleaned the fabric up, the bottom corners looks great, plus it took the small stain out!

Grab a tide to go pen that should help with the marks

As for the bag, the stitching looks good, C's look good as well

I vote authentic

YAY! Thanks everyone!

TobyIIsMom · 12-07-2007, 10:38 AM

I would also suggest trying to use the tide pen on the pen marks. Also it looks pretty authentic to me too. I have several coach purses and the insides seem to match yours.

Overall, I think it looks great!

TobyIIsMom · 12-07-2007, 10:42 AM

Hey I also found this site. It says you can call coach and give them the serial number inside and they can tell you if its real.
