I'm not authenticating the bag for a couple of reasons, the most important of which is that the pictures are inadequate for authentication purposes and secondly, I don't recommend nor support PM.

But in answer to your question, the bag, style 38124 is/was made for the boutique/full priced store. But that bag was sent to and purchased from an outlet store.
I appreciate your help so much! I’ll keep in mind that you don’t recommend PM; I just recently started looking but if you don’t think it’s worth the hassle I’ll save my dollars :lol:

This is the best picture of the creed I could get. The number is 0316-430. The first photo shows that the leather of the piping is not colored through.

Thanks.

It looks genuine to me. Early 1990s Station Bag.

Most if not all of the worn-through piping I've seen in vintage bags is a lighter color underneath. The posters at the Rehab thread could probably tell you what it's supposed to be and how to repair it. I don't believe it's a problem.
 
Court bags were made in Italy. Without a creed picture, it can't be authenticated but I don't see anything wrong. When you get it, post the link again along with the creed picture.

Thanks so much. I received the purse and have added images. Could someone please authenticate this? Also, if anyone can comment on the white strips? It feels like the same leather and the bag doesn’t look that damaged, but I’m definitely wondering about them. Thank you!

Genuine Court Bag from 1995

The "white strips" are where Coach shaved down the top layers of leather at the seams or where there was more than one layer of leather to make sewing the seams or layers a little easier. They're very common in vintage and classic Coaches.

I got this bag in the mail today from one of those buy/sell apps and I can’t find any info about it online. The serial number is U0K-1238. I have a very good eye for fakes but I’m on the fence with this one! Help!

So you really think this is fake? I contacted the seller (it wasn’t poshmark I don’t like that app) and she claims she got it as a gift and was told it was real. LUCKILY I’m out only $24 the bag was $14 and shipping $10. It’s a real nice knock off tho. I still might keep it anyways ...I’m not sure..
She's referring to a different fake but your bag is a fake too.

I think you should return it. It's junk and won't hold up.
