I need this bag authenticated. It seems to good to be true, so it probably is:

I don't know what is going on with that hardware. It doesn't belong on a classic shoulder bag, and it doesn't belong on a bag from that era. All I can conclude is that someone replaced the buckles with buckles from another bag.

I'd like other authenticators to look at it.

That's what I thought too, and that's why I am concerned that it's not a Coach. The original pictures didn't show the buckles or the inside of the bag, unfortunately because there's tons of ink marks in it too. The other 2 bags were good... I got them all a couple months ago, took one look at those ink stains and buckles that seemed from the wrong time, and just put it aside. I am doing home renovations, so I haven't had time to get to a project of this magnitude until now. Took a look at those buckles again though and thought they were all wrong for that old of a bag... If it's not the real deal, I still got 2 other bags at a good price, but I'll be kinda bumned all the same. And thank you for your response, btw! I appreciate it!

I don't think it is fake. The creed looks really good and all the other details you've shown look good. Do you have another classic shoulder bag you can compare it to, side by side? The buckles don't make sense. The original buckles wouldn't have worn out. I can't imagine any reason for changing them out.

[Crystalcoach]

I know, right?!? It's weird. And I don't have any others like this one. The creed looks fine to me too, thus why I got it. But my knowledge base is minimal compared to y'all, so I thought I'd ask. Thank you again!

It looks good to me but there's no name in my files for it.

I didn't recognize the design. That is what has me concerned.

I know they no longer make the "poppy crossbody if that helps.

We don't use names to authenticate, or assume that the seller even knows the correct name. Neither should a buyer. The only thing we use are the style numbers.

 

[BeenBurned]

Since I “liked” it on Mercari, the seller offered a lower price to entice, so score!

Thanks for the quick reply.

That's an honest seller! Mercari is lucky to have her.
