Coach girls - I need your help UPDATE
I bought a Coach pocketbook off ebay and I'm wondering if it's a real Coach bag.
It was advertised as "New" and "Authentic" and it came with the brown cloth bag, the paperwork on the inside and had the Coach tag hanging off it, and the buckles have "Coach" engraved in them, but I'm still suspicious.
The black "C"s on the outside of the bag are very small. They are about half the size of the normal "C"s on other bags I see being sold in stores.
The first picture is the style of the bag, which I got off the Coach website.
The second picture is not the bag I purchased, but shows the small C's. This bag is currently being sold on Ebay (don't know if its the same seller I used).
Do you think I got scammed, or does Coach make bags with the C's this small?
1st Pic: Style of Bag
2nd Pic: Small C Pattern
Update: I went to the Coach Store - It's Real 
- I was upfront and told them I bought the bag on ebay and just wanted to know if it was real. They looked it over and even checked the serial number in their computer.
- I asked about the small C's and they said it's a discontinued Coach pattern, but they did carry it.
- I also asked about the liner of the bag, and they said not all bags have liners with C's on them.
- The girls in the store were very nice, and they even said I got a good deal.
Whew!
Thank you for all your help!!

Re: Coach girls - I need your help
I'm almost positive that he small 'c' pattern is a couple of years old. So the bag may be 'new' in that it hasn't been used but the design is older.

Re: Coach girls - I need your help
Check www.mypoupette.com.
They will actually check your bag and/or list "safe" sellers. I bought a Louis Vuitton off Ebay once, and had it checked through them. It was about $400 so I hoped it was real but wanted a pro check. My seller was safe and the bag was legit.
ALSO--a Coach store can tell you. I even brought mine to LV in Manhassett and they double confirmed. They were nice, too; I thought they'd be snarky!

Re: Coach girls - I need your help
the bag I have has small c's - i think it depends on the style. does the inside have a tag wtith the # on it?
i once bought a coach wallet from ebay and decided it was fake so I returned it.

Re: Coach girls - I need your help
LRusso - That's a great website. I will def. check that out
Snozberry & SweetTooth - I feel a bit better now knowing it's just an older pattern, but real.
And the bag does have a code on the inside, I just checked!
DH wasn't too pleased when I told him I was worried if it was a real Coach bag. I certainly paid enough for it.

My hubby actually bought the bag using his ebay account, so once I track him down at work, I'll get the link from him.
Thanks so much!

Re: Coach girls - I need your help
they do have the small signature, but the first thing I'd check is if the liner says Coach (has the C's).

Hmm...The liner on the inside of the bag is just solid black, no C's.

Re: Coach girls - I need your help
thats a mini signature which is a style they make..as far as authenticity I think the above posters are right that you should check that site that tells you how to tell if it is authentic...maybe you could bring it to coach?? does anyone know if they would verify authenticity in the store??

A year or two ago, I bought a coach bag (from the coach store) that has the small c's on the outside. The inside doesn't have any c's, just the coach label.
