Hi everyone! Can you please authenticate this bag in my possession?

Name: peyton signature pocket tote (search it online)
Size: 32x26x14 (in cm)
Serial number: F26186

Here is the detailsIMG-20180529-WA0003.jpgIMG-20180529-WA0011.jpgIMG-20180529-WA0008.jpgIMG-20180529-WA0010.jpgIMG-20180529-WA0000.jpgIMG-20180529-WA0001.jpgIMG-20180529-WA0004.jpgIMG-20180529-WA0005.jpgIMG-20180529-WA0007.jpgIMG-20180529-WA0006.jpg

I'm wondering because when I look it up online, the style's serial number is stamped on the creed. Also, this is the first time I've seen a clear plastic made in label while the serial number is on the white label. Usually I saw the plastic made in label on the older styles with the serial number on the creed like this one below.

The pictures above is what I found when I search online. The serial number is on the creed and the production date is also different. Is it possible that the one I have actually made later? Please help. Thanks!

That is a beautiful Legacy Zip Hobo 9966 and quite a find for only $5! That bag originally sold for $288 and it will rehab very easily and look fantastic; take a look at the link below for before and after pics of the same bag that I rehabbed. I paid $15 for mine and it was in much worse shape.

That's great! It looks like your bag is missing the coach hangtag, check the inside pockets to make sure that it isn't inside. You can get a free hangtag by calling Coach customer service. They will either send a plain black leather hangtag or a metal hangtag to match the hardware - they will include a metal ball chain with the hangtag that matches the hardware. Sometimes it takes them a long, long, long time to send the free hangtags, but they usually show up eventually.

Or after you finish rehabbing the bag, you can take it to your local coach store or outlet and ask if they have any extra hangtags? If they do they will usually give one to you.

It's authentic.

Your bag was made in 2014. In 2014, Coach stopped (for a while) putting serial numbers on the creeds and used a white tag in the pocket. Your bag was made during the time when they did that. The comparison bag you show was made in 2013, prior to the change from creed to tag.

Yea that was a bummer, but I will definitely go schmooze my coach to see if a can get a hangtag. I looked on ebay, and I refuse to pay double or triple what I paid for the bag for just a hangtag.

My mistake; I should have checked here first!

I've requested a return (reason: doesn't seem authentic) and referred the seller here.

Seller: shawwar_41
Item # 112994670296
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Small-Leather-Coach-Bag-/112994670296?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&nma=true&si=aYsmxhcklT4AzgJLZXOi%2F82ECOE%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

You can't tell much from the blurry creed picture in the listing, although I would have been worried that there is too much space to the right of the numbers. G plant creeds have very distinctive spacing, and I can't recall a US plant that had that long underline or large 'o' in No. Also the G plant was very slow in changing to the new format. The 1996 G plant creeds in my files still have the old format with the place of manufacture at the bottom of the creed. The font is also wrong - the numbers and letters are too rounded.
