Ok, I can not for the life of me read this creed so I have no way of knowing if it is authentic, but you experts might be able to tell from other features so I’m giving it a shot.

Item: Convertible Clutch
seller: Sockmonkey13

I can't really read the creed either other than to recognize that it's a pre-1994 bag and it seems okay.

Note that sockmonkey13 does have a history of listing/selling/mixing fakes. Clearly, she doesn't learn from her mistakes!

From 2014: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...coach-fakes-here.824098/page-80#post-26587621
From 2017: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...ost-for-format.889527/page-1622#post-31602929
And in June 2020, I posted my opinion of the seller: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...ost-for-format.889527/page-3328#post-33847658

Personally, I'd avoid sockmonkey13.

I agree, it appears authentic, but it isn't a convertible clutch. It is the much smaller pocket purse.

Good afternoon!
Item: vintage authentic coach bag brown leather handbag
Seller: Zombiebear6005
Site: ebay
Link:https://www.ebay.com/itm/264856558326

Comments: This looks different than any other Willis bag I've seen. The edges of the coach tag and the part you buckle are not raw edged. Is it authentic??? Thank you again:smile:
It's authentic but made in China in 2003. At that time they were using edge coating. It's possible it isn't solid leather all the way through. With the use of edge coating you can't see the layers it is made up of.

The bag is authentic from 2003.

I'm not sure I understand the parts you're concerned with. I don't see any problems.
