VintageCoach4less also has a shop on ETSY; the bag I received appeared authentic from the pictures posted. After receiving the bag, I noticed the hang tag had a crooked creed. Be sure to request lots of pictures, and be cautious with this seller.

Quite a few classic and vintage Coaches have slightly crooked or off-center creeds and especially serial numbers and so do some hangtags. (BTW, the stamp on a hangtag isn't a creed, it's a logo. A CREED is a statement of belief or purpose, like the creed stamp inside the bag.) That doesn't make them fake or even questionable as long as the other details are correct. Buyers need to ALWAYS check the photos carefully regardless of who the seller is and ask for more photos if some details aren't posted in the listing. Did you have the bag authenticated here?The way your post is worded sounds like you think it might be fake.

Selling a Coach with a crooked creed doesn't automatically mean someone is a suspicious seller.

ETA - The bag you bought is genuine and so is the hangtag.
