I don't have a picture as of yet but the creed number is 0566 346. I've attached a pic. Is it possible to authenticate that at least the numbers and picture match for now? And what bag it is exactly?

Hi :wave: Usually the authentiacators request Creed shot, measurements and the seller, noted in post one. They like to authenticate before offering a style.
What @Lake Effect says is correct. In fact, it's not even possible to "match" a picture to a style when the serial number is a random (all numbers) one.
 
I've seen probably authentic Coach items that didn't have a logo anywhere but I don't think I've seen an authentic pouch or cosmetic case without a logo. These types of cosmetic cases were counterfeited. We've seen plenty. We discussed one a few days ago on this thread. https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...ost-for-format.889527/page-2379#post-32994530

The lining in the listing I'd questioned and that @whateve referred to above wasn't the same striped pattern as Coach typically used. That one was a fairly easy call based on the lining and the item.

However I have another piece of info to add. Although I can't find the post from August 2017, I saved some pictures from a post where someone asked about 2 similar pouches, one in British tan and one in red. Both were fake but the lining "appeared" to be correct. Although my pictures don't show the difference in texture well, the lining in the fakes was a thinner, tackier material.

The caveat is that some of the fakes are very close, right down to the lining.
Guess what - I just found it reposted, to the seller's credit she/he is not trying to sell it as a Coach item - and the wallet that accompanies it is probably authentic. Now that I look closer, the stitching is quite sloppy and the lining is darker and less textured like in your two left pictures, BeenBurned.

Thank you, as always, for your detailed analysis, ladies!
 
Can someone see if this one checks out? If it does, what year is it?
