I did a search on the seller's name and didn't find anything. Can someone look at this one for me? Thank you

I've requested a photo of the creed. If I get one, I'll post it.
If she doesn't send it, don't buy! Fake Willises are common and without a creed, you shouldn't purchase.
 
Hi! Could you please authenticate this bag? I don't know the name of this style, and the creed is different compared to newer styles (has those J code) so I don't know if this is genuine or not. I tried to google it and found the same bag with different color on poshmark, but the stamp creed on poshmark is deeper than on this bag. Thanks in advance!

I THINK it's ok but I'm going to ask BeenBurned to take a look when she gets a chance.

This exact style isn't in my photo files but what might be its big sister 6232 Signature Large Gallery Satchel is, and 10 or 12 years ago was highly and closely faked. The 2 things I'm worried about are the uneven-looking edgepaint on the handles, and that on the larger 6232 the other end of the top zip leather border had Coach stamped into one end which is the end you're not showing in your photos. If that end has a Coach logo stamped into it, can you take a photo of it and post it? Below is the same detail on the Large version to show you what I mean. I'm pretty sure it's ok, but the fakes of the 6232 used to drive us crazy so I'd rather be sure.
