Attached is the zipper pull for your records.

Unfortunately it's too late to return this bag! Is disappointing that it's not a Coach, but it wasn't a major expense and I will get some use out of it. And I've learned a lot. Should I remove the creed from the bag so that this problem doesn't mistakenly get passed onto someone else?

Thank you so much!

Wait! Paypal changed their dispute rules to 180 days so you can still dispute. You can also dispute with your credit card if you paid that way.

This coach purse was given to me as a gift and told it was bought at a Coach outlet store. Can you please help me authenticate it?

It has the serial number inside K014-1417. Has good quality stitching and gold hardware with Coach labeling.

Normally we need a picture of the creed but in this case, it's not necessary. The bag is fake,, the serial number (actually K04s is more common as the prefix) is common on fakes. 1417 is a legitimate style but not for your bag.

Whoever told you it was from the outlet wasn't telling the truth.

Sometimes "outlet" means not an authorized retailer. Sellers of counterfeits use the word outlet to explain why it doesn't match authentic products.

1- Irregular, I've seen those before.

2- I haven't seen it but it may have been made for one of the overseas markets, especially since it's listed on Tradesy.

Thanks! I thought the IR stood for irregular. I don't remember seeing it on a creed before. It's odd that they knew it was irregular at the time they sewed in the creed.
