The bag's body is a genuine Beekman from 2000 but the original leather strap has been replaced with a woven fabric one, and the hardware doesn't match the brass-coated Coach hardware at all

ETA - I see you mentioned the strap in your original post, sorry! I'm a bit concerned about the condition of the leather too but we're not supposed to comment on that. But please look carefully at the photos again, especially the second and third ones, it looks a bit streaky.

I'm sorry but the pictures aren't adequate. I need a full clear picture of the creed that I can read. She needs to get the camera in there, prop the bag open or pull out the lining to get a better picture.

Also, I'd like to see the made in tag and the other side of the price tag with the style, UPC, etc.

There's NO creed stamp or serial number, in fact I can't see anything that proves to me that it's a Coach product. There's a tiny "COACH" stamp at the very bottom of one of the main outside panels and that's all I can find. And even though an Entrupy COA is normally undependable anyway when issued for any Coach product, it's even more so in this case. There isn't any serial number or description or anything else that even an actual expert could use to authenticate that bag, which makes that COA completely worthless.

It's possible that the 2 white tags mentioned in Posts 1 and 2 as being required for authentication in newer bags are somewhere inside but since there aren't any photos of them there's nothing we can use to authenticate. All I can say is that it resembles a few recent styles but there's no way to prove it's genuine with the supplied photos or even guess how old it is. The only thing I feel comfortable saying is that IF it's a real Coach it's probably no more than about 10 years old.

If you already bought it, look for or feel around for those 2 tags, one with the "made In ..." information and the other with 2 lines of numbers and letters that include the production codes and style number that are described in Posts 1 and 2 of this thread and post photos.
