Good afternoon, all! After showing my mom the Willis you had authenticated for me (thank you again!!) and telling her how much I love the bag, my mom went on an EBay shopping spree of her own and bought me a court bag (without a strap). The problem is that I have a suspicion that this bag is fake. :sad: The creed seems like it should be fine to me (though I know this bag is from the 80s - not the 70s as the seller says), but there is sloppy trim stitching. Other than on the trim, the stitching is neat. I know Coach bags aren’t always perfect, but this seems pretty bad. Do you all think it’s a full fake? Is it possible the bag is authentic but someone had the trim repaired at some point? Thank you in advance for your insight!
