Although that bag is authentic, the seller ProVintageGear
on Etsy has a checkered history:

Here's just one example of the many posts on the seller:

This listing is one of several fakes he'd had posted at the time and even though we know he reads (and occasionally posts) here, he didn't end the listing and sold this POS:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/589176...eekman-briefcase?show_sold_out_detail=1&frs=1

ETA: I haven't gone through everything so there are probably more non-Coach "Coach" bags but this is just one example of a current fake:

Oooh, that's not good. Thank you for the authentication! I'm glad I got lucky this time.

This was my first time buying on Etsy. I'm not familiar with the platform yet so I don't know how long that blue Station had been listed but I tossed my dog off my lap and ran for my credit card as soon as I saw it. I am glad I got lucky but I should have known better and asked for authentication first. I'm just so worried about lurkers, especially with bags I've been looking for for a long time. This is only the second bright blue Station I've ever seen before, aside from Valv54's.

I’ll tell you, I would have been sorely tempted by that blue Station if I had seen it first! But this seller just refuses to understand a correct looking month-year-plant-style # does not make a bag authentic. Who knows how many fakes he has sold. On occasion in listings he mentions authenticator friends. Would love to know who they are.
 
Dear Authenticators, please authenticate this eBay purchase. Although I feel pretty good about the clutch, still would like to be completely sure it is genuine. I took some additional pictures as attached.
