Please authenticate. This is in my possession. I'd also like to know the name of the style. TIA
The bag is about 10 inches wide and 7 inches high when closed. It is about 4.5 inches deep and the strap is about 34 inches but adjustable to 36.

I have no idea of this bag's authenticity, but when I checked the seller's ratings on EBay I was horrified. Just THIS PAST month alone, she's got tons of terrible ratings/feedback! Everything from shipping out an empty box to never answering emails! And some buyers never received their purchases at all! I know there are two sides to every story, but no way did all these buyers conspire against this seller within a month's period.

My two cents: I'd stay FAR away!

I'm going to ask that you NOT report that. I want to look more closely, but everything else seems to be correct, and that's really odd for a Sonoma fake. I want to compare the serial number and look at a few other things. It's a very small chance, but it may actually be genuine.

ETA - It might just be an early oddball. Much better to just let it go on the chance that it's genuine and just one of Coach's many experiments. There are almost no examples of early 1995 Italy bags and it's always possible that a few may have either been made in the US or used a US creed stamp. But I DON'T recommend buying it.

Much appreciated Hyacinth, will wait to hear back.
BTW, the "repair stitching" in the lining above the patch that the seller mentioned looked weird to me, what little I could see.
Made me wonder if the creed patch came from another bag...?
Which doesn't solve the wording / number discrepancy, just odd.
Thanks for your last comment, definitely won't buy this one!

That should NEVER be a problem. Smaller Coach bags were considered accessories and many didn't have serial numbers or even creed stamps or patches. And Coach stopped stamping serial numbers in their bags in the middle of 2014. I don't know where you're getting the impression that all Coaches have to have stamped serial numbers but it's not correct and never has been. The suede Swingpack is completely genuine.
