It looks okay.

You can save yourself some work as you don't need to copy pictures into your post if the pictures are in the listing. If additional pictures were sent that aren't in the listing, you can add those.

Is this the listing?

I'm sorry but there have been so many very close fakes coming out of the Philippines that I don't authenticate them and don't recommend buying from Filippino sellers.

While I'm sure there are honest sellers there, I can't recommend.

Item: Coach duffle sac 9085
Listing: 183384969552
Seller: 1sofrugal
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/WOW-Vtg-CO...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
Comments: I hope I'm not asking about my second fake in two weeks. My concerns are largely about the feel of the bag. Even my husband remarked that the leather did not feel like my other, definitely authentic, duffle sacs. I have added my own photos as well as a specific photo showing the difference in the leather on the front and back of the bag. This struck me as particularly odd.

I'm sorry but that's fake too.

It's the wrong creed and font for the 1994 D plant (see comp below). Did you also notice that the grommets on the strap are silver?

You are correct to be concerned. The bag is fake.

Everything you're concerned about is correct. You didn't mention it but the bag also has an invalid prefix. The creed states US made but S is a plant code for China and wasn't in operation in 1995, the year that bag claims to have been made.

If the seller wants the bag back, she should send you a prepaid shipping label. You shouldn't be out any money.

Lesson learned. I have contacted the seller. Thank you, BeenBurned. Next time a migraine prompts an impulse purchase, I will walk away from the computer.

Listing no: doesn't seem to have one

Hi - Could someone please authenticate this for me? it is a Coach Lexy F1757-F57545 pebbled leather s20180820_125141[1].jpg 20180820_125155[1].jpg 20180820_125246[1].jpg 20180820_125300[1].jpg 20180820_125307[1].jpg 20180820_125337[1].jpg houlder bag.
https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m71627179318/
I actually purchased this and have 3 days to return if not authentic and just found your website! Am not sure if you can see the pics since I purchased it - thus here are some close ups.
I have a few questions too -
1.Why are there 2-3 serial numbers for the Lexy ? 57545/27593(more common) and 27579?
2. The leather near teh magnetic closure of thsi bag feels very soft and looks likeit is about to bubble(pic attchd) Is this normal for a Coah or does this indicate it might be a fake?
3. Are the pebbled leather Coach bags ever knwon to peel- or do they last?
Thanks so much in advance! This is sucha GREAT site! you guys are so amazing !!:)

Hi lovely authenticators,
I am trying to decide if I want to buy this bag Some lady is selling it and she let me take only 1 pic of the bag and another of the creed. I didnt purchase it since it seems shorter in body than the other #4157 that I own.
Can you do anything with this lack of pics? If not, no problem. Just thought I'd ask.. Thank youi

Did the authenticator who said that mean ANY style bag from plant 76, or specifically a Penny? Because 76 WAS a valid China plant code during the exact time indicated in that bag's serial number.

The only concern I would have is that most of the bags with a 76 plant code from 2012 seem to be outlet styles but there are a few FP bags too.

As for the Cobalt color, there's a single pic of a Cobalt one in my files that I saved in June 2012 so I don't think the color is a problem. No creed pic though.

But I'm not expert enough on styles made after about 2010 to give a full authentication.
