This bag was purchased from Poshmark from seller angela_listings. The space where the registration number should be is empty was my main concern. The dimensions of the bag are 7H x 11W x 1.5D. Thanks for your wisdom.

Genuine. If possible, please supply the actual url or link to the listing. Maybe one of the other authenticators has an easy way of finding Completed listings on Poshmark using just the sellert's name, but I don't. Anyone who does, please PM me. Thanks.

The "missing" serial number was glued on in early bags and sometimes fell off over time. It's genuine.

I feel like a ding ding for accidentally posting this in the Chloe thread. What a great intro from me lol!

Hi! I'd greatly appreciate any help with this! I got this off of ThredUp thinking that the emblem and stitching were from wear & tear (it's true about the emblem... it was broken in half and wonky, so I'm currently trying to straighten it). I had purchased two Coaches in the past from them and had no issues being able to tell that they were authentic. Holy moly, when I received this one, the stitching is pretty horrendous on the front and left/right sides of the back. It could be just me, though, thinking way too much about the lining.

Thanks everyone!

Item Name (if you know it): 30402 Madison Mini Christie Carryall

The stitching and the color of the coated signature canvas, also the zipper pull is different. I may be wrong.

I'm with you! Something looks off! I was just about to post my own request but decided to catch up first. I am skeptical of all her bags she has listed. I don't know why but the listing price alone set off the alarm for me. Specially when some bags are 50% off now on sale and she is selling them for even lower prices? And I don't think the styles have made it to the outlet yet. Even if they did, no resellers will be listing them at their purchase prices!

She just posted this bag 4 hours ago and I think it's questionable. The black leather shouldn't have contrast stitching. The signature print has more contrast comparing to the stock photo. Also provided by the seller herself.
Here's her possible fake:

Hi authenticators! If you could help me look a this bag, it would be much appreciated!

Item: Pocket purse
Seller: runningwithsharpsissors
Link: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/184096098848
Comments: If it’s real, was it made in 1995 or 2005? I always get confused about that.

Genuine Pocket Purse made in 1995. Coach started using actual year codes based on the last digit of the year number itself in 1994, so there was no need to add a zero in front of that single number year code until 2004. Bags made in 2004 in the Costa Rica plant were an exception and many Costa Rica bags with just a "4" as the year code were actually made in 2004. Sorry if that makes it even harder to remember when the zero was added!
