Yep, fake, but you knew that. It is a good example of the things counterfeiters get wrong on these. Not just the creed, but the zipper pull, the stitching on the zipper pull, and the inside pocket zipper.

I mostly picked it up because it’s great leather. I plan to make a couple of tassels and maybe a thingy like the Dooney fobs have. Navy leather is hard to come by so this will be great. Plus, one more fake off the market!
 
I don't believe that item is authentic. Backs of turnlocks with the indentations are generally on fakes although there are cases where the hardware might have been replaced. However there are other problems with your case that point to fake. Your item has a sloppily stamped logo and sloppy stitching.

We've discussed those pouches and there appear to be two similar but different authentic versions, neither of which is like yours.

One authentic version has the logo on the lower right (as does yours) but the back of the turnlock closure is different.

The other authentic version has the logo on the upper right under the flap and has a different turnlock than the above authentic comp:

Compare the stitching and piping:

ETA: One more comp shows differences in the logo as well as differences in the shape of the flap and turnlock location.

Other opinions are welcome.
Thank you
 
The Murphy is fine.
THANK you, Whateve! Into the spa she will go;I really love that bag!
Not sure what happened to the 2nd bag pics but trying again....as I said, the handle feels “weird”

Comments: Did this bag come in olive or is this color something else? In the photos the leather looks nice (I realize, not the same as seeing it in person) but I'm wondering whether there is something else influencing the way the color appears.

I can't enlarge the pictures so I can't comment.

The first one seems OK.

There's no creed photo for the second so not only is it almost impossible to authenticate, but I can't even look for other examples of the same style without knowing the correct style number.

Pics of Creed:
That bag was made during a period from 2014 - 2016 when Coach stopped putting some of the information and serial numbers on creeds and instead included a white tag with the production info. Usually this tag is well-hidden deep inside the zipper pocket or somewhere in the bag. It can take several attempts to find it! But it's needed for authentications.

All are authentic. The first appears to be a zipper tote #9785 from around 1987. The second is a carrier bag. It is hard to tell the color on the third. It might be faded and the color would change if it was washed and conditioned. There was a sage green but it was much lighter than this. I think this is some version of brown, maybe mocha.

All are fine but I don't believe 1 nor 3 is Bonnie Cashin.
