In general, I'm not comfortable with most listings on Carousell.

As for the listing in question, there are several things that bother me but I'd like to see a few more pictures.

Please request a full straight on legible picture of the creed and serial number, a picture of the made in tag and a legible picture of the receipt shown in the listing.

UPDATE:
DO NOT BUY FROM kalbuproject on Carousell.

On further research, I've confirmed my suspicions and additional pictures aren't necessary.

Tag has been altered or faked. While it may (or may not) be an authentic tag, it doesn't go with the bag you're considering. Although the style number on the tag is "correct" for the bag, it has the wrong font and was changed. The UPC bar code and description shown on the tag indicates that (if authentic) the tag belongs to a crossgrain mini Chrystie carryall in pink.

It's fine and made in 2003.
 
I missed out on a prior listing. Please help with authentication on these 2 items:

Item: Vintage Coach pocket purse
Listing number: N/A
Seller: debsw52
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-COACH-VINTAGE-RED-LEATHER-POCKET-PURSE-BAG-9755-USA/233197659450
Comments: Listing says strap is from a different bag but matches the color of this bag. Any thoughts on what year this was made?

Item: Vintage Coach Spence, Madison collection
Listing number: N/A
Seller: debsw52
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-COACH-...ROSSBODY-SHOULDER-BAG-ITALY-4400/233209517029
Comments: Any thoughts on what year this is from as well? I'd also appreciate any thoughts you all have on this pebbled leather vs the glove tanned leather. I don't have either yet and am hoping to buy my first vintage Coach bag.

Thanks!
 
Dear Authenticators,
I put a bid on this court but wondering if it is authentic. The strap where connect to the dog leash clasp is wider than normal court bag, what I can see of top handle seems off. Sorry the creed picture is not great .
Thanks.
Seller: antiqueasher

The serial number font looks off to me, especially the style number. The photos of the bag itself don't show other important details very clearly either. I'd say Fake.

Here's a genuine E8C- serial prefix:

More opinions are welcome.

Thanks Hyacinth for the reply. I have emailed the seller for a clear creed photo, and a photo of the top handle. Will update the photoes when get them.
ETA, the 7 definitely looks off even to my untrained eyes

Personally, I'd avoid antiqueasher not just based on this bag but on the previous history. My records show at least 4 previous fakes with K3H, J8H and W5Y prefixes as well as a fake with an incorrect but commonly seen wrong font from the "B" plant were listed.
