Hi everyone. I am so happy to have found this forum! I had a Coach bag listing removed by eBay last night. I genuinely thought it was the real deal but someone pointed out that the 9019 serial number is for the Maggie Style Duffle, which this purse obviously is not.

The stamp on the inside is the "Made in United States" version and the serial number is M9D-9019. It measures 8 x 7 x 2.5 with a 16" handle.

Please let me know if you need anything further from me and thank you so much!

The bag was correctly removed. It's fake.

There's way more wrong than just the style number not being correct for the bag. The creed is illegible and the serial number font is incorrect for the year and factory in which it was (supposedly) made, the hardware and turnlock are wrong and it doesn't appear that the interior zipper goes fully across the bag.

Before listing, it's a good idea to verify authenticity of any item that you didn't personally buy from a legitimate retailer.
