Yep, the blue one is fake, invalid serial number and too-short inside pocket zip as well as fake metal zipper pulls.
This isn't herve0073's first time mixing fakes into her lot listings. My records show a history as recently as May of this year.

This listing has a fake in it too. The green bag is fake.

In case the listing is removed, here are pictures off the green fake:

I saw these earlier today and I thought the stewardess looked weird and off. Scary, I thought the green was real! Eekkkk!

The serial number in the green one is listed as "always fake" in the Daria48 List.

And a Search here at tPF for the serial number will bring up LOTS of Dishonorable Mentions. FOUR pages worth, in fact. The first 4 or 5 links that come up on Google for "coach 0444-315" also lead right back to posts stating that it's fake.

Also if you look closely at the fake creed, you'll see the infamous "SCRTCHES".

Hi everyone! I found this bag at goodwill and was wondering whether it’s authentic. Thanks!

Item: Coach City bag 9790


Comment: I wasn’t sure whether it should have a “leatherware” word, also all the wording in the creed doesn’t seem reach the ends of the lines in the box. Please let me know if you need more photos.

Genuine, made in 1995. Coach had recently eliminated "Leatherware" from the Coach logo in most of their handbags.

Thanks! I didn’t get too far into that listing, if / when I’m interested in an item I always search the serial number and the seller here first. Most of the time I can weed out the obvious fakes thanks to all the pics and info in here!
 
I found this in a cute thrift store and when I look the serial number up online it indicates an Op Art Madison Sabrina. Serial number is No-G0868-12947. Bag measures 9.5"x 13"x 6.5". Shoulder drop is 12". Not sure if it's real or an extremely good fake.
