Dear Authenticators,
Please help me check this waist bag. Is it fake or authentic?

Item: Coach Men Terrain Belt Bag in Signature Canvas x Pacman
Link:

Thank you.

Please read the first two posts from the forum manager and Moderator on page 1 of this thread and include the required information and photos.

There is no photo of the creed and serial number. Other details that we need are also missing including a URL or link to the actual action listing. That style was highly faked and cannot be authenticated using only the photos and information you have included. We don't recommend buying from ANY seller who will not include pictures that were taken by the seller of those details.

Thank you.
Hello, sorry I forgot to insert the creed. Here is the creed and other images that you might need. Please tell me if it's a fake or an authentic one. Thank you.
I don't recommend that item.

There are several things that bother me, both about the specific item shown in the pictures as well as the availability of the style of that fanny pack/waist bag.

I do NOT believe that Instagram seller lushvanamen is selling authentic items.

Other opinions are welcome.


1. I'm not comfortable with the creed. There seems to be too much space between the serial number and the bottom of the patch as compared to others of the same style. (Plant codes aren't the same so while it could be a plant aberration, I also can't find another made in "22."
2. I'm only finding this particular style on Asian sites and because we've been seeing some very close (SCARY CLOSE!) fakes coming out of Japan and other Asian-based sites, I prefer you err on the side of caution and avoid.
3. The top of the cartouche shows that "Pac-Man" is different from other listings (though I can't be sure some of the other PacMan items are authentic.) However what little shows in this pic is different from that in the listing in question: https://coach.tingtingchen.com/coach-product.php?name=TERRAIN BELT BAG IN SIGNATURE CANVAS WITH PAC-MAN COACH SCRIPT&style=COACH F72924&color=CHARCOAL/BLACK/BLACK ANTIQUE NICKEL
4. "Pre-order" raises red flags

Could you take a look at this Coach creed?
Item: station bag
Site: Facebook marketplace
Seller: Sandy Bornor
Link: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/941660932914561/?ref=messenger_banner
Comments: I asked her to send me photos of the creeds. This one is different. I've never seen a "G" plant stamp before and the font looks strange.
The only bag in the lot that we can authenticate is the station bag with the G plant. That one is authentic.

We need to see other pictures of the other bags to authenticate them.


I can't read them either. We need to be able to see all the creed and serial number details and to read them clearly, and preferably in photos taken in Landscape mode (east-west or with the phone or device sideways, the long way. We're looking for very small details and with those photos we can't even read the serial numbers, much less see the details we need to see.
 
Can you please verify these 2 bags?
1). Ebay listing - item #392842431095. Seller: everydaythings71

2). Ebay listing - item #233624271983. Seller: hueysmom99
Second one only has 3 pics attached - not sure if that is enough for you to verify. I have request additional but not posted yet. Thanks!
 
If an item is or was listed online and whether or not you bought it, we want seller ID and links. That way, IDs sellers of fakes or trusted seller IDs are searchable and other members can look up the history.

And in this case, since the seller sold a fake, it's especially important to have a link to the lisitng and the name because it can hep future buyers who might be searching an ID.

Thank you for the explanation and your patience and kindness. I will add the information in my first post.

Nevermind...it just sold anyway.

Would you mind taking a look at this one for me? ETA: Looks like a few weird splotches on the front of the bag under the flap. Can't really make them out here on my PC at work.
Thanks!

The bag is authentic but the seller has been reported with fakes at least a couple of times in the past.

The following was one example.
