Hi. I found this bag at Goodwill and it seemed legit but when I ran the number B3K-7022 there's a lot of misinformation regarding it's authenticity. Please advise. Is this authentic or not in your opinion? Thank you in advance for your advice.

That's the danger of looking up a serial number on the internet, especially Google. There's no way to tell which information is accurate, so don't depend on it.Google can sometimes indicate that a certain number has been found in fakes, but it can NEVER be used to prove a number OR a bag is genuine.

One source on Pinterest shows the number with a photo of one of the WORST, nastiest, poorest quality fakes I've ever seen, the entire style is wrong and the fabric design is crooked. And one other "source" often found on Google that should never be trusted is Yahoo.

Yours is a genuine Signature Denim Stripe Demi made in 2003, the details especially of the creed and serial number stampings fit other genuine photos from that line in my files, except the top zipper pull has been replaced. That large trigger clip was never used by Coach as a top zipper pull. Here's Coach's file photo of the front of the bag.

Hi All - I received this bag as a gift. I believe it was purchased at an outlet store directly, or via Marshalls/TJMaxx. Just want to confirm before I look to sell! Thank you!

The zipper pull was replaced with part of a valet keychain (ETA: Keychain is style 7212) from which they removed the key ring from the side that opens and attached the clip side as the zipper pull.

This is what the original keychain looks like:

It looks good. While it may have been purchased from a discounter, the style number with "E" at the end is (I believe) indicative of a bag originally made to be sold at Dillards.

Hi Authenticators,
I was wondering if someone can look at this bag. The description says leather and man-made material but the creed says full grain cowhide. I was going to bid on it but I don't want it if it's fake or one of those patent gloss bags. Thank you!

Item: Coach black Baguette Shoulder Bag
Listing number: 112081333
Seller and site where listed: shopgoodwill.com

The bag is okay. Maybe they're referring to the lining for the "man-made material" reference.
