Wow it has been deleted so quickly, I don’t know what kind of metal it is. And to my surprise, there are so many fake 9027 in the market! I found another rare green one as well and I doubt it is fake cause the seller didn’t offer a creed photo but she says that the number is D6E -9027, is that a certain evidence that shows it is fake?

Thank u so much!

If it's the same style and has a D6E- serial number, it's fake. NO exceptions. Like I already said, that style wasn't even introduced until Fall 1997. The D6E- serial codes stand for April 1996 Italy. Coach does NOT make handbags a year and a half before they're even introduced in the catalog.

The bag is fake and the serial number is fake. ANY bag in that style or any other Ergo style with a serial number starting with D6E- is fake.

Coach 1997 EARLY FALL 1997 CATALOG, pages 4 and 5. Right page, small green bag "NEW Mini Satchel style No. 9027". Click on the thumbnail to enlarge.

Note that the other 4 Ergo bags on those 2 pages are also listed as "NEW" meaning a new, just-introduced style style.

Hi. I sold this wrislet to a customer recently and they claim it's fake. I know for a fact it's real because I got it from Coach Factory but I don't have the receipt.

Here's the link

And I have attached pictures as well. Thankyou all. Raina

Did you buy it from a Coach Factory store with walls and doors, or from one of the Factory Online Sales? How long ago?

And did the buyer tell you why she thought it was fake? It's VERY important that you ask, and you have every right to do so. It's also important that we know exactly what she said, because a huge percentage of Coach buyers are badly misinformed about what makes a Coach genuine or fake. If we know that she's acting based on bad information, we might know what to do to counteract it. Unless it's just Buyer's Remorse, in which case there isn't much you can do to change someone's mind.

My "signature" in purple under every one of my posts gives an example of one of the most common and dangerous pieces of misinformation about Coach items that has ever been found on the internet, and there's a lot more nonsense out there that too many people think is correct.

The wristlet is genuine. It's a genuine Park (I think that's the "family" name) Leather Large Flap Wristlet made for the Factory Stores.

Just one correction to your remarks, please wait for authentication from someone familiar with newer styles.

Smaller Coach items like this are considered "accessories" rather than handbags and most of the time don't have any inside patch with a creed or serial number. That does NOT mean they're fake.

I don't see any red flags but recent styles aren't my specialty.
