What is the deal with the Coach handbags that are being sold on the street? Some say they are real because of the different markings and tags. Some even have little booklets with them with serial numbers on them. If they are not real is it illegal to sell them still? I know if you claim its a Coach and its not you can get in trouble for patent reasons. But if they are not then can you sell them? And where are they coming from and how are people making them look exactly like the Coach handbags you see in stores?

You can get your very own designer bag from http://urlx.org/directtrack.com/6809f for free. All you have to do is fill out the survey. My girlfriend got her bag from that site and all she had to do was choose the bag she wanted and enter in her email address.

Fake handbags are made in sweatshops all over the world. If someone is selling a Coach bag on the street, it IS a fake, no matter what kind of
"documentation" goes with it. They're usually made of cheaper materials and put together very shoddily- threads hanging out of the lining, plastic instead of leather. Their logos will also look "not quite right" and probably be crooked. These fakes are just copies made in factories that have nothing to do with the real Coach company, Prada company, etc.
It's also VERY, VERY illegal to sell fake or stolen bags. It's really not worth it most of the time. Save your money and buy the real thing from a real Coach store. Real bags bought legitimately keep their value over time and can be resold to reputable vintage shops.

Ohh honey. Okay, for one, if you see the bags laid out on a table on the street, they're NOT real. It is illegal to sell the bags on the street, but there are ways (anyone from NY?).
But just because its not real, does not mean that you can't cop it. I have 3 Coach bags 1 is real and 2 are fake. No one can tell the difference but me. It's all about how "you" are with the bag.
They get the bags buy either stealing them (REAL ONES) or they buy from another vendor and then sell them (FAKE ONES).

I've heard that they are real but people steal them from the return bins in the back of department stores.

It's called bootlegging. Been going on for centuries.
