I have bought a couple Coach skinny wristlets from Ebay, and while I have not had them checked out at the Coach store, I feel certain that they are real. I always look at the seller's feedback and make sure that the description specifies "100% guaranteed authentic". Of course, if they weren't real (and not obviously fake) I don't suppose it would really matter, because it's not like I'm dropping mass cash on them. I usually pay around $30 (that's with shipping), which is no better than you'd pay when they go on sale at Nordstrom- but this way I don't have to wait
But yeah, Birkins or LVs are a different story. You would never see me sending $5,000 out over the Internet and then expecting someone to send a handbag to me on good faith. I just couldn't do it without being a nervous wreck.
I love summer clothes, I really do. I just bought SOOOO much at the Gap the other day because they have everything in bright turquoise and hot pink and apple green. How delightful! Plus I am insane for things that match perfectly. If I can have a T shirt with matching flip flops and a coordinating scarf and little cotton handbag, I am really not going to be able to pass that up!
