Hello, Authenticators. Could you please take a look at this Coach Duffle Sac? The seller incorrectly identified her as a Helens Legacy, but that’s ok. I’m esp concerned about the sloppy stitching and piping leather join on the strap. There is a wrinkle that makes the month code look like an “O”, but it’s definitely a “C”.C929FF94-B0E8-42D1-964C-8C27984EFF5B.jpeg4040693B-BAC1-4348-89D4-751FB5DC6B1E.jpegD08DCC18-0162-4B8A-946A-77177E5883B0.jpegCE50ACA7-C0FB-415A-B5D0-19B796FF092F.jpegF79F9569-0057-4271-8F5D-DC714FECFCEE.jpegB801AC45-23E0-481D-B587-4F3C7CDACE35.jpeg8D1CFE73-59BB-49F4-B862-42EB5DDD6CB0.jpeg

Hi guys! I buy storage units and came across a Coach messenger bag.

Serial no B1677
F34938

It’s the Coach signature file crossbody bag.

I have read that Coach stopped putting serial numbers on their creed a few years back. This one has it in the zipper pocket on a small white tag.

Before I sell, I want to make sure it’s legit. Here is my main concern - I tried my very best to photograph the creed but it’s pretty difficult to read/photograph given the orange color. It seems as though other bags I’ve seen have a much more prominent stamping into the leather. The same goes for the small leather tag that’s attached to the strap. Is this normal!? The stitching appears to be uniform, everything else looks status’s quo.

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I was poking around Savers and found this lil gal in with general population bags. I'm hoping it was a genuine find, but I can't find information about it anywhere. The serial number is practically impossible to photograph. I've tried flash, no flash, a macro lens, sunlight, a flashlight, bah! I'll post the photos I hope will help, but can take more if needed. Thank you!

I'm sorry but it's fake. The style number doesn't match the bag and the prefix shows a plant code that would indicate a Chinese plant but the text says that it was made in the US.
