Re: eBay question re: Coach bags

I wouldn't do it- I just read an article in Harpers that Ebay is getting sued by Tiffany, Gucci, LV, Coach and every other luxary hand bag makers b/c of the fakes

the knock offs are made in China- by Childern who sometimes don't even get paid for working 12 hours a day- and living in dorms with no heat- running water etc

don't support these people- buy a real bag that is in your price range-

I would never buy a fake designer bag, IMO, it is just wrong.

but just so you know, most Coach bags are made in China now. yes, the real one's from the Coach store say 'made in China'. check there inside of your wallets and purses. My Coach bag that I bought at the Coach Store says: 'this is a Coach bag. it was handcrafted in China and individually burnished of completely natural....etc'

and they still have the NERVE to charge what they do!

LV bags are not actually made in France. They're made in Haiti in disgusting sweat shops and are sent back to France to be 'finished', that's why they can get away with saying made in France.

ETA: I know that about LV bags b/c the receptionist at my Accountants office is from Haiti and her sister worked for LV.

Re: eBay question re: Coach bags

I didn't mean that made in china is bad-

but those brands check on the factories and inspect them to make sure that everything is on the up and up- I used to work for Macy's and we had strict rules as to what when on in the factories- including how many bathrooms, age of workers, over time pay- records of everything- if the facotry didn't pass- we didn't buy and I am sure coach and LV, gucci are all the same- they can't afford to be on the evening news as running a sweat shop

the knock off factores don't care and have know one to report to

Re: eBay question re: Coach bags

I think you should go to the outlet instead of doing ebay. You will get a good deal and know for sure the bag is real.

Re: eBay question re: Coach bags

victim right here! i bought a gucci bag from ebay. the picture and information looked great! even her rating was great so why not? i won the item for $300. got the shipment in and bam! the feeling of being screwed over was so overwhelming. the ebay seller and i battled it out and i ended up getting my money back.

ppl like her giver credible ebayers a bad name! it's terrible! but watch out. go to COACH to inspect the merchandise. i'm so wary now. i don't even go to ebay to buy designer things. i was so disappointed.

i really hope this doesnt happen to you.

I guess that's why eBay is being sued by all these designers.

thanks for your input ladies
