Both look fine. The creed is clear in the first one so maybe she replaced it.

Thanks whateve and beenburned!
Does that make it a fake whateve?
I'm not whateve but I'll answer. The bag is authentic. She just commenting on the seller's misstatements of the bag being from the 80s (when it's really 1992) and the style number being 5157 (when it's a random serial and doesn't indicate the actual style which is 9898) and that if sellers aren't sure, they shouldn't guess.

(You can't trust that sellers know the correct style name , number and/or ages of their items.)

COACH Deep Purple Leather Crossbody or Messenger Bag - Excedllent Condition

chloekitty94 - Her spelling in title, not mine.

I'm wondering about the color, could it be more maroon, than purple? Is there enough info to tell if this is genuine? I asked seller for a better creed picture. Thanks for opinions.
I think they did make some unusual colors in classic styles around 2005. I would prefer a better picture of the creed but I don't see anything to make me believe it is fake.
