Hello BeenBurned,

May i ask you one more. I forgot to ask you. I just only wanna know. The pocket's zipper line edge (at the backside of the wallet), each other has a different length. The upper zipper line is longer than the other zipper line below. At the same products, i saw that part has a same length so it looks more symetris. How about that? Do you thinks its just okay? Maybe even the orignal ones of coach product have a bit flaws ( as they are handcrafted by workers, they may not 100% really perfect for all products, and the important one is they are all standardized). Need your additional opinion. Thankyou.

Also the fabric ply of the inner pocket, there's one part that has a permanent folded form, but the rests are okay. Basically the fabric is so smooth. But there's one more defect. Another defect i found after i mentioned about the zipper line. I cant take photo to show you, becuse it's in the pocket, so its hidden. I can feel it when i put my hands into it. Sorry for my late post. Just feeling curious. Thankyou

Coach 9955 Trail bag
Ebay item
Seller trach-us2015

I'm not sure whether this is one of the seller's previously removed listings (as she had others) but I'm concerned with the creed and the pocket. Although she isn't showing the full creed, the stamp looks too high on the pocket. Also, the stitching down the sides of the pocket isn't close enough to the edges. Am I correct in believing trach us2015 's listing is fake?

I've attached a comp.

I am still confident that the wallet is authentic just as I was nearly a week ago.

I see that you were very concerned about a Longchamp also, even after it was authenticated and deemed as genuine. Seriously, if buying from a reseller is going to stress you out so much, you might feel more comfortable buying directly from the store. That way, you can compare the wallets, find one without a pucker in the lining or one that the zipper is perfectly aligned.

The issues you're concerned with are quality issues and NOT authenticity ones.

I can't answer your question about rubbing of hardware on the Longchamp but I will tell you that at Coach's pricepoint, you won't find perfection. These aren't $800 Louis Vuitton wallets!

Yes, it's fake. In picture 3, you can see there is no zipper stop at the end of the zipper and the zipper pull isn't sewn all the way around. The handle doesn't taper enough at the ends. The zipper fabric looks black; it should be brown. The side edges of the pocket look like raw leather, rather than being folded under. In the last pictures, you can see that the zipper stops are missing. You should be able to see them from this angle.

And the seller actually had a genuine example of that style to compare it too:

I think they're deliberately hiding the serial number.
