My Coach Handbag Collection

I started shopping for a Coach bag early in the year (2014) and found a cute bag at a thrift shop near home and later after purchasing it found out it was a fake Coach bag.  I was very disappointed.  I ended up with another fake Coach bag that I purchased on ebay and decided to learn what to look for and if I wasn't quite sure I'd ask for help with authentication at the purse forum.  So these are the bags I've bought so far this year and they are all authentic Coach handbags.

Coach Hampton Black Leather Hobo Clip Shoulder Bag Handbag 8A67

Found this poor dull dried out begging for conditioner leather Coach bag on ebay a few days ago.  The pictures were not great and didn't even show the inside or the creed patch.  I did some research and didn't see anything wrong with this bag at all other than it just needed to be loved and conditioned.  Only 2 photos were posted and it was up for auction starting bid at $18.00.  Put this bag on my watch list and waited until the last few minutes and put in my bid for $18.00 and won the auction.  When my husband opened up my box that came today he even said eww it's ugly.  Yup it was dull and dried out.  I conditioned this bag with a few good coats of conditioner and watched the leather come to life again.  It started to shine and get soft.  It's in mint condition and might have been used only a few times if at all.  Sometimes it's worth taking a chance.  This bag new retailed for  $328.00.  Some handbags smell like perfume or soaps.  This bag smells like real leather.
COACH Hampton's Large Hobo Handbag Style:8A67 Retail $328.

COACH Hampton Signature Stripe Hobo Handbag Khaki/Red 11067

I fell in love with this Coach Signature Stripe Hobo Handbag and was very surprised there were no bids on this handbag on ebay.  It might have been because the handbag was listed as a Couch Handbag, oops.  I did a search for Couch instead of Coach just to see if anything would come up in my search and this one with a few others popped up.  I put it on my watch list and watched for 4 days and still no one bid on this handbag.  I picked it up for $45.00 including shipping.  New retails for $289.99.  It's in mint condition and I can't wait to use this handbag.  Decided to get myself an early Christmas gift.

COACH Black Zoe Hobo Pebbled Leather Ergo Style 4464

Got a great deal on this cute Coach bag.  The pebbled leather is so soft.  This bag was never used and is in mint condition.  I picked this up on ebay for only $25.00 including shipping.  Very well cared treasured little bag.

Other great quality brands I like.  I got this brand new London Fog Satchel on ebay.  This style sold on QVC.  This will be my next every day use purse when my current one expires.

Coach Leather Hamilton Hobo Shoulder Bag F10280 #2

I got lucky and found another Coach Leather Hamilton Hobo Shoulder Bag F10280 on ebay.  This one was up for auction and I was the only one that bid on this purse.  I waited until the last 5 minutes after asking seller a few questions since her only 2 photos didn't show all the details.  My questions were answered and I placed my bid for $20.00.  This bag retailed for $289.00 new.  This bag is slightly used but in pristine condition.  I conditioned the leather really good but it looked like it was pretty well cared for already.  The leather is in a little better condition than the first one I got a few weeks ago, same color and style.  I found really cute key chains at Old Navy and they look really cute on the bags.

Here are a few pictures of them both together.  The one with the "L" key chain is the one I got a few weeks ago.
