It's a top handle pouch but can't give a style number or "official" name.

It's an authentic Companion bag #9300 made between 1989-1993. It originally came with a 44 inch strap but a 36 inch strap could be substituted on request. It looks like this one has the shorter strap.

Thank you so much, whateve! Do you happen to know the name of its color? It’s missing the hangtag and I’d like to try to find one.

You're welcome. It was just called red, but reds varied depending on when they were made.

I hope I did this right. I am super paranoid as I found a great replica last night on the web so now I am doubting. I am ready to pull the trigger on this listing just need to know its ok. Thanks so much

For the record, TRR (TheRealReal aka The Real Real) authenticators have been wrong many times in the past, including on Coach:
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/poshmark-authenticators-are-questionable.990794/#post-32404088

There are lots of posts on the Ebay, shopping and other Authenticate This threads where they've sold fakes.

I agree with Hyacinth. I'd return that bag to TRR and let them know they need to get better authenticators!

Happily, TRR has authorized a return and will pay return shipping - they didn't even ask for pictures or additional information and sent a nice note of apology. I am still feeling a bit flummoxed myself as I was almost completely fooled, but upon realizing one thing didn't seem right, I started to see the other things, too. Really thankful to those that take the time to provide their expert opinions on here!

It should be interesting to see whether they relist it. (I'm suspicious!)

Looking to see if this coach bag is authentic. bought it second hand, from a seller who claims she bought it at a coach store in Vegas. The purse is beautiful. However, it feels like plastic (even squeaks) and is definitely not real leather. the imprint in bag is barely readable, not due solely to poor photo, and logo on front is looks like asian writing. photos attached. your help is greatly appreciated

Did you buy this from an online listing? If so, please post a link to the listing.

I don't see anything that indicates that the bag is fake. The crossgrain leather does have a plastic-y feel although it is leather.

I'm not sure what you mean by the front plaque looks like Asian writing. The font is correct for that bag.

As for the creed being difficult to read, that is a result of the texture of the leather.

Here's another listing for the identical bag in the same color and with the identical production information on the white tag. Because both your bag and this listing were made in the same month/year/and factory, they should match. Do you see differences? I do not.

I don't see any problems either. BeenBurned is correct on all points, especially about that type of Coach leather often being mistaken for plastic, it's been mentioned many times on these boards by posters who bought their items directly from a Coach store or the official website.

And the logo on the front clearly says "Coach New York". Since I don't read Arabic, Bangla, Chinese, Cantonese, Burmese, Sanskrit, Tamil, Turkish, Vietnamese, Persian, Malay, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Filipino, or any other Asian language but I can read the Coach logo perfectly I have to assume that it actually IS stamped in English after all.

And to answer your question from the other thread - THIS particular magnetic snap is correct. But there are a lot of fakes with various stampings that seem similar but aren't. Having numbers on the magnetic stamp doesn't prove anything, we need to see ALL the stamping details.
