After the episode of receiving the wrong purse, I tried many, many times to contact the "seller" of the purse, and they did not answer. They didn't even TRY to answer! So I ended up contacting the payment company, the middle man in this situation, who took my money. They gave me a vague "contact us again if you don't hear from them in 2 days" answer, and when 2 days passed (I actually waited 3 thank-you-very-much) THEY did not answer me either.
Well, I would be very, VERY angry if it had been like, $200 or something like that, but it was $80, so I was annoyed, but I was managing it OK I think.....
I reported the company to Coach.com for selling counterfeit items. *insert evil maniacal laugh here*
The Coach people said "wtf" and they are "investigating" the matter. So I'm hoping to see that site go down...but other known sellers of counterfeits, like "coachoutlet.com" or whatever, are still up, so I don't have a ton of hope about bringing them down completely, but if I can annoy them (like they've annoyed me) then that's enough to make me feel better. :-)
Then I reported the matter to my bank, who asked me some questions, got the link to the website from me, etc. They gave me my money back and now I'm happy! I still have the ugly purse, and they told me to "keep it ready" in case they actually do get a response from the counterfeiters and I am able to send the purse back. My understanding is that this is unlikely.
In an interesting turn of events, after typing out the previous parts of this post, I just tried to go to http://www.louis-outlet-sale.com and the "website has been moved to a different server" apparently. Annoyed them? I think I have! :-)

Stupid Rip-Off Websites...
So I received the Coach purse I ordered from this questionable looking site. I really should have known better but I guess you just have to live and learn right? The purse I received looks NOTHING like what is in the picture there.
It looks like this:
Again....NOT what I ordered!
So I guess I need to call China, and argue with them, and tell them to take this back and give me my money back because this isn't want I wanted. So far, I've sent a complaint through their contact me thing on their site, and emailed them, with no responses. There's no phone number on the site but there is one on the shipping label to the packaging the purse came in.
I would avoid http://www.louis-outlet-sale.com/ if I were you. Sigh.
I only wanted to get a deal, I originally thought this was some re-seller that buys the purses then resells them, like how people do on ebay. But apparently this same company has another site that is dedicated to "replicas". So...yeah... I'm also pretty sure that the purse I received is a counterfeit or "replica" and I suppose in the future I'll just pay more to get an actual coach purse instead of trying to find a deal.
Although the whole reason I went to that site was it was the ONLY site claiming to have this specific purse in stock.
So if anyone knows where I can get this authentic Coach purse, let me know, since http://www.coach.com/ doesn't have it in stock anymore. Sigh
I should probably give up on this.
I doubt I will tho.... giving up isn't really in my nature. ;-)

The Hunt for a Coach Purse...
That I can afford!
I don't know what it is....everywhere I go...someone has a Coach purse! And now.... I want one....
So I saw this REALLY pretty pink and silver Coach tote on beyondtherack.com and I'm like, it's $200! I can't afford that! But then it went off sale and I was REALLY sad because I WANTED IT and then boyfriend was like "awww... you shoulda let me get it for you." Why didn' t you say that sooner?! Note: I don't actually want him to get it for me, it's like a random weird personal goal I developed all of a sudden to get myself one. But if all else fails I suppose I'll ask for one for Christmas. :-)
And so..... the hunt began....
For days I scoured the web! But I found no websites that had this item in stock.
So I finally consulted THE EBAY!
And I found it!
But it's still rather expensive. So then I scoured the web some more! While doing so I discovered it also came in a satchel version and I LOVE it....but this one I can't even find for sale on ebay!
So sad....
So then I decided maybe I should just buy one from the outlet store...but couldn't find one there that I liked.
Sigh
I ended up going to their website and finding a poppy mini-satchel in a camelia, or something, color. Basically it's like a pink coral color. I love pink so I was like, oooooh!
If you haven't noticed by now I have the attention span of a gnat on coke then you must ALSO have the attention span of a gnat on coke!
So when I decided to buy that particular mini-satchel in that color... it went out of stock from Coach's website.
-_-
Again with the web scouring!....
And I found it again!
Now, you would think that after the surprising amount of time I spent searching the web for this purse, finding it for $80 dollars in stock on some website would be jackpot! But no, I still had hesitations. I'm poor. I don't want to explain just how poor I am. But let's just say $80 is a significant amount for me to spend on something silly like this ($50 would be much more acceptable!). So I waited a day to see if I was going to be continuing to work at my current job through the next month. You see, I'm contracted, and I don't know these things until the last day on occasion... which I hate, but whatever. So when I find out I AM getting an extension on my contract (yay!) I see the purse has gone to it's original $190 and is no longer on sale.
-_-
After a whole day of non-stop bitching about it I checked it again due to obsession and lo and behold....it was on sale again!!!
So I bought it!
After putting in all my info I got some sort of error and received no confirmation email.
-_-
My account was charged, however. So I put in an inquiry to see if I was going to get it or if I needed to dispute the charge. They say don't dispute! We will send! So I said ok...can I get a tracking number? And....nothing.
Sigh
I'm giving it a couple of weeks before I start raising serious hell. But at this point I'm starting to think I'm not meant to even have a Coach purse...or maybe I should just get the original one that I REALLY wanted, the pink and silver tote I saw on beyondtherack.com, from ebay.
OR I could go throw a chair through the Coach outlet store's window because I'm pretty sure that will make me feel better about all the trouble that this brand is causing me.
Oh, and get arrested, it'll probably also get me arrested.
But at least I'll feel better!
