It looks ok. I think the turnlock assembly may have already been replaced, if you can post a close-up of the turnlock plate and the prongs holding it together as shown on your photo of the back of the front flap, I may be able to tell for sure. I don't think that's the origina l turnlock.

The backside does look different than my other two bags but the front of the turn lock looks the same so how you noticed is beyond me lol!

They both look good. The Hawaiian Girl keyfob is style number 93159. The Snorkel listing says the extra hangtag is included.

Both are authentic.

Hula girl is style 93159.
Snorkel charm is style 92891.

The hangtag doesn't belong with the snorkel charm.

The backside does look different than my other two bags but the front of the turn lock looks the same so how you noticed is beyond me lol!

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I meant the oval plate held on by 4 prongs that's on the back of the purse's flap. I thought the prongs were set into indentations but I couldn't get a clear enough enlargement.

I was able to enlarge and there are indentations. The hardware isn't original to the bag.

Comments: I like the style of this backpack but figured this was fake because I didn't think Coach made unlined pebbled leather bags. It looks identical to the 9315 backpack but in pebbled leather, which I would rather have if this is real!

You're right. It is the original hardware. The lighter areas looked like indentations but now I can see they aren't.

OK, so it's a tossup.

Usually when there are lighter areas like that it's because the prongs get in the way when someone's polishing the hardware. But as long as the bag is OK, that's the main thing.

I thought I could seen indents but I was wrong!

Hi I am new to this forum. I apologize before if I did this wrong. I’ve been desperately searching for all information related to the stewardess purse. I own two of the already, as well as many other coach vintage styles. I just purchase one from Etsy, I a can’t file a case. Due to the virus situation I washed the same day I got it and I did inspected as I should have. Material from the start very soft and looked very different from my other purses, when I washed the dye bleed quite a bit unlike my other red purses. First the material feels different the front flap looks and feels like cloth, the interior looks like leather, but it feels lighter that other purses. The brass buckles on the side say “solid brass” however I don’t think they are brass, they feel light. Then the creed starts with J8Y, I read that this is usually numbers used in counterfeited purses. Also the No, the 0 is larger than in other bags. The zipper looks authentic, it even says YKK. Also the rivets are not not the usually circle that the strap has they look like stars. Last but not least, the finishing on the top back, it doesn’t look as tapered as my other two Stewardess purses. The color of pictures looks uneven, it’s because it’s wet and not fully dry. I paid $65 plus tax and shipping. For a long time seller had this listed at $265, then she lowered at $165 the finally at $65, she also removed the pictures of the creed, I did not think anything of it, I was very trusting. Hope someone can shed some in this, I am hoping this authentic but all these facts point to the opposite, thank you for your help beforehand, LC.

You copied the seller's name incorrectly. It's lotforme Owner of allaboutboutique
You are correct. The bag is counterfeit.

Why can't you file a dispute? How did you fund the payment? If the seller isn't honorable and won't stand behind her item and if you used a credit card, you can open a dispute through the c.c. company.

If you think it'll help, refer the seller here.

ETA: I think this is/was the listing:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/573371...r?show_sold_out_detail=1&ref=anchored_listing

ETA #2: Hmm. It's interesting that most of the seller's Coach items show creeds and those (that I looked at) with creed pictures are authentic. But there are a few, including this fake0 without creed photos. I wonder if the seller knew they were questionable (at best) or fake (at worst).

ETA #3: I take that bag. She has this fake:
