FAKE. The font used for both the creed and serial numbers are wrong, the way the handles are attached is wrong, and That's NOT a style 4150. The date code for June 1995 is also 4 years too early for when that style was actually made (1999). Maybe it's the lighting but the "R" in "variations" looks odd. Get your money back. Those Bleecker styles were widely faked.

Thanks so much for your speedy response confirming that the bag is indeed fake. I can get a refund, fortunately.

While I don't see anything that screams fake, I did find the seller on Carousell and want to voice my concern.

https://carousell.com/jandjstuffph

I see that the seller is in the Philippines and over the years, I've seen hundreds of very close (nearly impossible to authenticate) fakes coming out of the Philippines. (Most of the sellers have been on ebay but there are other sites where the scary-close fakes have been seen too.)

While I realize that you might want to spend your money with sellers in your own country, I usually recommend against buying from Filippino sellers because of the problem with fakes.

Please I need to know if the two coach bags here are authentic. Thank you.

So far, I don't see any problems but we need to see more pictures.

Please show a full face on picture of the front of the khaki bag and the interior of the black and white one. If the black and white signature swingpack has a creed, please show a picture.

To CelG

The brown and tan combination #10402 is genuine, I have a set of photos of a real one to compare it to.

I don't know the style number of the black one so maybe BeenBurned or Whateve should look at that one.

Just a relatively new and inexperienced member here, not an authenticator or seller. Does your browser bring up more ebay items for sale when you land on an item (?), because there are others of that model for sale. Just saying.
Hope I didn't break rules posting this, just my opinion.

I recently ranted about Coach and the changes they make, fixes of things that aren't broken, rules that change with the wind and then, after they make changes, they revert to previous ways and that they're really pissing me off. I'll spare you another rant!

I don't see anything that indicates that your bag isn't authentic but I can't find any comps. Too many sellers don't have the right pictures that are necessary to authenticate the bags and get more definitive guidelines on what dates/months they made their changes.

Thanks pdxhb.

Here is a picture of the whole bag.
