The bag is fake.

Were you the January, 2019 buyer?
https://www.etsy.com/listing/558120713/coach-vintage-dark-red-leather-top?ref=reviews

I don't recommend
LindasCoachCloset

This sold bag is also fake:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/612525725/authentic-vintage-coach-seafoam-green?show_sold_out_detail=1

I haven't gone through everything but clearly, LindasCoachCloset doesn't confirm authenticity of her items before selling!

ETA: And if she questions you, refer her here!

ETA: I don't believe this current listing is authentic either:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/587966...wn-leather-top-handle?ref=shop_home_active_15

UGh! Another fake:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/557036...wn-leather-top-handle?ref=shop_home_active_28

thank you beenburned!

I was not the buyer but I noticed it had been purchased before too. It seems like the listing I posted is the same listing as the one that was sold (when you click the listing from her sold listings, it goes to the active listing whereas most listings go to the sold out page), so either she has two or she accepted a return...

The listing just caught my eye, most red bags do, even the fake ones!

edited: oh wow i see the sold listing had feedback!!!! wow, so she did have at least 2 and sold 1 already! Bummer.

After going through more of her listings and finding more fakes (as follows), I don't recommend

Sellers who mix authentic items and fakes are more dangerous and less trustworthy than a seller who sells all "Canal Street" fakes!

FAKE.
The shape of the padding above the turnlock is too small, the mounting rings for the top handle look O-shaped when they should be D-shaped, and the serial font is wrong for the 1999 B plant and the Coach name in the creed cartouche is too small.
