It's authentic. It has a unique serial number so the last 4 digits don't indicate the style number. The seller is wrong about the bag's name. It is a classic hobo, not a Soho Worth. It would be an almost impossible rehab.

Wow, I thought for sure it was a fake.

Thank you - and for the rehab warning, too.
(Is rehabbing impossible because of the ink stain, or is it also the blotchy color? Just wondering.)

You're welcome. The ink stain is the main reason it would be difficult to rehab. Blotchy color is common on glove-tanned leather bags and usually conditioner evens out the color somewhat. It might still have patina but would look better.

Item: COACH BLACK LEATHER CAMERA STYLE ZIPPER TOP PURSE BAG HOBO HANDBAG TAG # 9438
Listing number: 391033327644
Seller: goldenolgainc
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/391033327644
Comments: I bought a different bag from this seller, and she sent this one to me by mistake. She's sending the correct one, and told me to keep this one or give it away because it isn't worth it to her to send me a prepaid label to ship it back. I think the short strap drop and size would be perfect for my petite 13 year old niece. So, I'd like to know if it's authentic before I give it to her (after the bag I bought arrives, of course). Thank you authenticators! :drinks:

please see above posts(sorry -pics were not posting-anyways I was wondering if this is an authentic little coach bag?

It's definitely genuine and looks like a Madison Satin Mini Top Handle, style number 8975 from the Holiday 2004 season. Cute bag!

Here's Coach's website photo.
