This set of pictures is too small and they don't enlarge when I click on them.

Oh my, I'm so sorry! I think this should do it

Good Morning! Would you please help me authenticate this (hopefully) diamond in the rough?
I purchased this at Unique in Wheaton, MD. To my untrained eye, it looks good from a number of standpoints - leather quality, stitching, size, but the hang tag is embossed on both sides (when you flip/roll it, it still reads right side up).

Thank you, in advance, for your expertise

Approx Size:
L= 10" from strap attach to strap attach
H= 11" from bottom seam to top of bag
Strap drop at longest 20.25"
Cinch belt (without magnetic snap buckle piece) 15.75"

*Please see more photos in separate post*

Hello! Here are more photos - most importantly including creed.

Thank you!

It's authentic. The hangtag is supposed to be two sided.

Hello. Could you please tell me your opinion on this bag? Usually I am able to authenticate these bags myself but this one has me stumped. My gut says it's real, just doesn't have a Creed, but part of me thinks it may be a fake.

It's fine. There may be a white label hidden inside the inside pocket. I'm not sure whether this bag would have had the label but if so, it would show the style number.

Hi. Thanks for responding so quickly! I looked inside the pocket but there's no tag. I know some smaller purses don't have creeds so I assumed the same with this one. Do you happen to know how I would find out what the name of this bag us? Thanks again!

It's from the Campbell line made for factory stores.

It had to have been dyed. White bags are not that color on the inside.
What I can see of the creed looks okay.

See my edit with a photo of a similar creed and the comment about the "v".

I am glad our member brought the bag here for opinions. When I saw it on the other thread, I leaned toward it being from man made materials because of how uniform the edging was, as the vinyls used for bags seem to be applied to a fabric, that ends up be the lining. That is what I thought I was seeing for the “suede side”. I guess I expected to see more wear on the suede side given the outer wear. I also expected to some dye job ‘give always’ for using a color like white, like a little smear, drip here and there. The dye appears to absorbed so uniformly and evenly, a little too perfect. Also I guess I thought the font on the date code was a little thick too.
Well consider me educated and give me the name of the person who dyed this

Hello! I have been searching this site for authentication tips.
Could someone take a look at some listings I am considering? I am not a serious collector but I would like to be informed.
Thanks in advance.

I bought two lots on GoodwillOnline and I think they're probably not authentic. The online photos weren't helpful and their customer service is not very responsive. Anyway, I took a chance. If you need more photos let me know.

Hi everyone! I'm very new to Coach ownership and I'm loving it! I have done some limited research on authentication so I can spot a bad fake. This one is confusing me. When I look up the creed number it comes up with all sorts of bags that look just this one. The stitching looks ok, the creed is good quality, Coach isn't splashed on every piece of hardware. It even has tags and a Coach card thing in the middle pocket. The red flags I'm stuck on are four pieces of the hardware are not complete rings. They are split rings. Please help?

 

[Lothruin]

Please help me with this one: I suspect it isn't right, but I'm not sure why, and if it is right it is a pretty cool style:
