Ladies..what do you make of this one? I see the 'N' month, but was thinking that does happen at rare times, also the 9920 instead of 9927 but was ALSO thinking at some point Coach made a 'small' Willis .Otherwise the bag looks good to me. As I can no longer trust my so called 'memory', thought I'd run it by you for a clear opinion. Thanks as Always!

It's fake. 9920 is the style number of the Becket zip. There was a small Willis, called a Winnie, #9023. It doesn't look anything like this one. There are too many mistakes in that creed, including the font and spacing, the large "o" and long underline, as well as the things you mentioned.

You're welcome! When you see bare wood at the end of the dowels, that is a warning sign. There is also some really bad stitching at the end of the strap.

For the record, we like to have the seller ID posted, both in the event the listing is asked about again and also, so we can search seller IDs to see if they have listed and/or sold fakes.

Same seller/item on ebay and Bonz:

Does the creed look right? The font looks off to me. I compared it to other *4C and there are differences.

Thanks.

Here are a couple other D4C with a very different font and creed:

The one from seller kelleykpr / treschic52 is fake. The font of the serial is wrong, the creed words are too blurry, and the Coach lozenge above the creed is completely wrong - much too big and too wide a space between the lines. The underline under the letter o is also too long for a C-plant bag from the early 1990s

Thank you. I was pretty sure it was fake but I like to confirm.

Pretty sure this one's fake but wanted another opinion before reporting. The fonts used on the creed look all wrong to me, and I'm pretty sure there are grooves in the underside of the turnlock.
