Wait for BB, but I think your concerns are valid. I can't understand why there would be a dot on the "made in China" tag since this is a full priced item. The lining seems to be the wrong color. Can you post a straight on picture of the creed and a larger picture of the lining, showing the pattern?

Genuine, it's a Soho Dusted Suede Small Tortilla. I don't have any information about whether or not it was Limited, but it might have been Limited Availability if not Limited Edition.

It's a Soho dusted suede small tortilla bag! Beautiful and authentic.

 

[WishingonaCoach]

A what? A tortilla? Gosh, one of the last bags I inquired about was a Flatiron, the names are funny sometimes
Thank you very much for the good news Hyacinth. I got the limited edition part from the creed, I had no other info to go by.

 

[WishingonaCoach]

Thanks to you as well Whateve, I love to come here and get good news about my findings.

Aaaacckk! I skimmed right over that part! Limited Edition it is, then. The "dusted goat suede" part always gives me a chuckle. That seems like it would be gorgeous in person.

Coach did the same style in lamb Nappa Leather, style 3669, and they're supposed to be "like buttah".

i was strolling through ebay on my lunch hr and came across this.....I did not know where to post it.
Wonder how long it will take for them to figure out the straps are on wrong.....unless its meant to be carried like a bucket.

They are like buttah! The most amazing leather I've ever felt. Softer than Chanel. I had it in a gorgeous turquoise but sold it because it seemed to get dirty just by looking at it. I was too afraid to carry it.

 

[WishingonaCoach]

Mine is not like buttah, but still very soft and nice to the touch. I had one and have seen more Coach purses with metallic finish and the shine in this one seems to be brighter, may be I am wrong... Anyway great condition on the outside, with unfortunately one pen mark inside and one on the under part of the strap where the leather is cream color. I hope I can clean it, wish me luck!

You should have no problem cleaning the ink off the lining. I wouldn't do much on the inside of the strap, maybe try zit cream to bleach it, then paint. I think the glitter suede doesn't wear too well, so be gentle.

It looks fine. I've seen several with similar straps that are put on wrong. It seems so obvious to me that I'm surprised at how many do it wrong. The stains along the seams and edges won't clean off. I think it is melted glue.

Thank you whateve. I'm so upset right now, the tag it has a dot and "made in China". I thought this style is made in Phillipines, the lining is dark green instead of light green, the creed is all crooked. [emoji20] Do you know any paid website that authenticate Coach? I want to be prepared if the seller doesn't want to refund me.

I think the creed looks terrible. While usually a particular style is only made at one plant, seeing one made at another isn't proof in itself that it is fake, so being made in China doesn't make it fake, but there are other problems. Is this the same bag you asked about on June 17th? AUTHENTICATE This COACH *Read 1st Page BEFORE posting* Did you ever get an answer?
I don't know of any paid authentication services that are good for Coach. Hyacinth might know.
