It seems ok but without being able to see a creed with a serial number or no inside tags showing the number and production codes it's impossible to authenticate it. I don't know the style number and can't find any pictures of the same style number for comparison. Frankly, I would never recommend buying any highly faked brand like Coach without those photographic details. Contrary to what most "guides" claim, you can't authenticate a Coach just by looking at details like stitching. Post Number One in this thread describes the details such as inside tags that we need to see. If those aren't visible or available, don't buy unless you enjoy taking expensive risks.There's one small positive detail but that's just not enough for me to give an unqualified OK.

The seller says "Department store floor sample display in unused excellent condition" so if that's accurate it's not from either type of Coach store.

If you want the bag, request that the seller send out a couple more pictures.

If there's a creed, please request a picture. Also, please request pictures of the made in label.

The next picture request may be tricky. Ask the seller for a picture of a small white label with two rows of letters/numbers. Many sellers claim not to be able to find it and some bags don't have it. But if the bag does have it, it may be hidden deep inside the zipper pocket and the pocket may have to be turned inside out to get a picture of it.
