Although Coach has made dozens of different Daisy keychains, I don't remember seeing any with 5 metal charms with the C pattern and that color combination. They did use the same colors but for a large single-charm keychain, back around 2005-06. There are also several details on the keychain that aren't right for any style from that period. I don't suppose it came in any kind of Coach gift box that you may still have?

Wait for Whateve and BeenBurned, but I don't believe it's genuine. Please do NOT try to sell it. I'll look through a few more files but my instincts are telling me that it's not right - 5-charm metal fake "Coach" keychains were for sale all over the internet 10 or 12 years ago and are probably still available.
Thank you so much for your input, seems it is in fact a fake ;(
 
Have reported this bag as counterfeit but is still there.

Well now I am wondering about. a charm bracelet that I have on which some of the charms have markings on reverse and some don't. Any thoughts on this?

I think that is fake too. It has nothing to do with whether there is something on the reverse. However, did you notice that all the charms that have logos on the front have something on the backs? Coach wouldn't feel it was necessary to put the name on the back if it was already on the front. All those charms came from different collections. The perfume bottle charm should look like there is a hangtag hanging around the neck of the bottle. The charms have the same problem as your keychain with uneven enameling. The black heart bumps up in the middle. Some of the letters on the round charm are almost covered by colored enamel.

ETA: see the perfume bottle in this fob? That is what yours is trying to copy. See how smooth these charms look?

Again I thank you! This came from the same source as the keychain and it makes sense. That perfume bottle charm was exactly the one that made me wonder..

You're welcome. I wish you hadn't removed your pictures. They help all of us learn how to spot fakes.
