Definitely fake. The inside zipper doesn't go all the way across, and there are no brass stops to the zipper. I think it says "solid brass" on the buckle. Coach would never use solid brass on a style that was supposed to be lightweight.

Thanks. I was sure but wanted confirmation plus additional documentation of libertystore's history.

Is there any chance that this is authentic? I can't tell if there are grooves on the turn lock plate, or if it is just darkening of the brass. The Creed looks iffy too. I would like your expert eyes to check it out and let me know. Thank you!

Yes, it's fake. I don't see any padding above the turnlock, I believe I see grooves on the back, and the creed is wrong for that plant.

It's fine. I think I rehabbed one of these. It washed up fine and the color improved with conditioning.

NYE shopping is dangerous :smile:

I felt good about this bag on Poshmark (seller Gracelegacy - I have purchased before)
But the creed's serial is a total miss - right?

Completely fake. Just because you were lucky with a seller once doesn't mean she knows anything about Coach. See how the padding above the turnlock goes straight across and is a long ways from the top of the turnlock? On Coach bags that have padding, the padding follows the curve of the turnlock. It's not a Coach turnlock - the shape is wrong and the back is wrong. The straight piece of leather on the underside of the flap isn't something you usually see on Coach bags. Notice the word Coach is not on the creed at all, or anywhere on the bag. It says "this is a good leather bag" not "This is a Coach bag" and there is no Coach logo on the creed.

Please read these sets of Coach Guides and Save or Bookmark the links for future reference. That bag is LOADED with red flags, one of the biggest is that it says Made In Korea. Coach has NEVER made handbags in Korea.
