Yes, it's fake.

Seller cancelled the order, with this as her reply to my request.

"This bag is authentic as I was with my aunt when she purchased it years ago, when I searched it because of serious people like yourself I was sent this from coach-

There were some fakes made with that number, however the font was extremely uneven -"

O.k. Listing title says it's from the 1980's........

Someday I might find a real one!!

Please authenticate when able, thank you. :smile1:

In my possession.

Item: Coach Basic bag?
Size: 11 x 7 x 2 inches
Comments: Bought locally, believed authentic based on creed, but the clips are not brass, the finish is peeled off and it says Japan on them. They could have been replaced and still the bag is real, but how you change those things?

I'm hoping to get an opinion on this Duffle Sac. It's a NYC bag (which I understand were rarely faked), but it looks a little suspicious to me. Maybe it's just a later NYC example, but the leather at the seams doesn't seem quite right and the type-set of the Creed doesn't appear as crisp as most NYC Creeds. I realize that not even all vintage Coach bags are 'created equal', so I don't want to assume that the bag is fake based simply on my own suspicions. Thanks, in advance, for any opinions.

Wow, how do you change out clips? Maybe the strap came off a fake or another brand? The bag itself is fine.

I just reported it so she might blame you. Sorry!

It's authentic.
I just want to comment that the bag is rather highly faked and many of the fakes have the "correct" style number.

ETA: In fact, here's a listing for a bag that appears to be the correct style and it has a 9085 style number as part of the serial number but it's fake: (I realize you were talking about NYC bags but for those who like the style, authenticate before buying.)

And in case the listing gets reported and removed, I'll post the pictures:

She can blame me too. I reported when I found the listing.
