Could someone please help me with this one?

I'm looking at purchasing this bag. It's apparently a Coach 9043 Geometric Bag but I'm confused because I have never seen dashes in between first 3 digits in the serial...

Thanks in advance for the help.

You can get more help by visiting the rehab club thread: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/coach-rehab-and-rescue-club.833400/
People have different approaches. The correct way would be to replace the piping with new leather but that is beyond my capabilities. I use leather cement to glue the edges and fabric puffy paint to create a smooth surface so the hole can't be seen. It takes some skill to get a smooth edge with the puffy paint but when you do, it looks nearly as good as new.
Wow, thanks for the tips! Puffy paint——who knew?!? I’ll also check out that rehab thread. Thanks again.

Dashes between all the digits in the prefix always mean FAKE. The turnlock also seems to have a problem. Do NOT buy that bag!

We also require the link to whatever online website is selling the fake. Please post the link, and be sure to read post One in this thread for a list of the information we need.
