I'm new to this so I will try to make sure I include what is needed. There is no listing for this it was bought at a garage sale for just a couple dollars. I think its fake but my daughter bought it. I couldnt find anything online about it and there is no creed. I also couldn't find any tags inside of the bag. The hardware seems flimsy to me and the material that is supposed to be leather doesn't feel like leather.

It's fake, you can tell just by how misaligned the C pattern is. The lining looks fake, the zipper pulls are wrong, and any item that size should have at least a creed patch.

Use it if you want but don't pass it on either by selling or donating it.

You're right, it's fake.

I think I purchased a Coach Leah Tote in Green #J0868-13142. But thinking it could be a fake. Not sure though. I am a newbie at this. Photos attached. Real or fake? Thanks for the help!

 

[Soteria]

It looks OK, one of Ali styles from 2006 maybe. But in the future we need to see larger photos, about double the size of what you posted here. The creed and serial number photos are especially important.

Sorry I tried to post larger ones and it said they were too big, so I guess I went too small. Thank you though!

I redid the one with the creed on it. For future is this size better?

It looks OK to me. Genuine Coated Canvas Op Art Signature Leah Tote. I've compared it to a full set of photos of the same style sold by a highly trusted seller, and it's correct in every detail.

FOR ALL MEMBERS : When posting something like "I think it's fake", we need posters to explain WHY they think it's fake. Often what they're questioning is because of some nonsense they read in some bogus online "Authenticity guide" almost all of which are partly or completely wrong.

Yes, that's perfect. It may be hard to believe but sometimes tiny differences in the creed stamping may be the only indicator of a fake on some of those highly faked styles.

I don't know if you're using a full-feature computer or a phone app, but when posting pics there should be a choice of "full size" or "thumbnail" Try selecting Thumbnail for pics larger than about 1200 pixels the long way.

Sorry for the delay ladies. Here are more pics. It is 54536 although the picture makes it a little hard to tell. Please let me know what you think. Thanks again!

The bag in the listing cannot be authenticated with the seller photos. Can you post a clear photo of the inside zipper including the stitching around it please?

@houseof999 - Did you see her original post with the pictures?


What is the last half of the serial number on your creed? Is it 54536 or 54538?

I'd also like to see the zipper pull on the inside pocket (the one with the creed).

Yes I did. The style number should be 54536. Mine is 54536 and even though mine is Oxblood the font should be the same.. I will post a pic for comparison.

Yes, I know the style should be 54536 but I couldn't it well and wanted to make sure it had the correct number.

I couldn't clearly tell either whether it's a 6 or 8.

@CookieSmooch can you post a closer clearer pic of the serial number?

Please request a picture of the made in tag and the white tag from (probably) inside the inner zippered pocket. She'll have to dig and feel around for the white tag, probably turning the pocket inside out.
