Assuming the pictures you've posted are of the actual item, I believe that the wallet you received is fine.

Receipts are rarely helpful and don't prove much since they can be faked or genuine receipts can be used to "prove authenticity" of a fake. (For some interesting reading, you might want to check out this thread. Japanese Coach ring - warning.)

I don't know where the seller found that creed picture or why she included it with her listing because (as Hyacinth pointed out), it's not even the same item.

Hello,
Thank you for your reply! So the item should be authentic? I was just really worried incase it wasnt as they were selling many of the same thing

Regards,
Chloe
 
Hi! I am new, so please let me know if I need to do anything else for authentication. My daughter bought this bag on Poshmark and thinks it’s a fake. She has it in the Goodwill bag and won’t let me keep it be it bugs her she fell for the sale. I am new to coach and have been reading. I think there’s a chance it’s real? Her biggest concern was the trim around the inside top lining and the bag handle ring holders. She pointed out they have a fabric lining—that matches the bag lining. Can you please let us know?

It's authentic. In the future, provide the seller's name and a link to the listing. She had the opportunity to request a return through Poshmark if it was fake as long as she did it within 3 days.

Measures - approx. 10” wide x 8” high by 2.5” deep

I don't know where she's getting her information. There's nothing wrong with it, it's one of the dozens of Soho Buckle Flap styles that Coach made, from 2007. Please tell her to stop trying to get authenticity information from the internet, 98 percent of it is complete nonsense or just plain lies. I don't even understand what details she seems to think are problems.

ETA - in fact it was one of Coach's most popular styles. Right now there are almost 60 of them listed on Ebay. It looks to be in nice condition too.

They're both genuine.

The first one might be a Swagger, style 9820 from the early 1990s, it's hard to tell without measurements. The Swagger was about 12 inches in length

The second one is a Legacy Slim Duffle 9816 from what looks like 1999.

Hi!
I measured the first one is approx. 11” wide by 7.75” high by 3” deep. I’m only wondering bc the catalog page I found didn’t list green but the inside suede looks green to me. TY again!!

They're both genuine. I can't read enough of the serial number to give me a clue about when the first one was made but I THINK it's a Chester Bag, style 9901 from the early 1990s. The tan one is a Prairie Bag made in 1999
