I hope you're able to return it. It's not authentic.
Compare your creed and serial number (on the left) to the creed from an authentic bag (different style) made in the same month, year and plant. In particular, note the underscore under the "o" in No. as the hyphen between the 2 halves of the serial number.

ETA: Here's another creed from 1999 C plant. It's a different month but from the same style bag. Notice the same differences:

Yes, fake. Point out to the seller how the word "scratches" is misspelled.
 
Not sure about this bag on Poshmark and trying to avoid an impulse purchase. Does it appear to be authentic? Trying for more info from the seller to figure out exactly which bag it is.

I don’t see an item number but I don’t use Poshmark much. Sitting with my napping grand baby and using my phone for this, which I’ve not done before. Fingers crossed this is all ok.
It's fine.


It looks like a Sonoma Soft Bucket Nubuc, style 4843. I can only find one catalog pic and it's pretty small:

Hi. I'm new registering but have been lurking. You guys are fantastic!

I'm asking for authentication on this bag I just bought on Poshmark.ca:

Item: I can't find the name of the bag. Serial is G04J-6446
Listing number:none
Seller: alicedickson
Link:https://poshmark.ca/listing/Coach-Large-Shoulder-Bag-5f7f5163800f642bb2e56be5

I've been buying some Coach bags lately as I found one I absolutely loved and am now addicted. :smile: I actually bought this late one night without doing any research in advance, for my sister. I can't find the serial number when I Google. And there is no Coach logo on the outside of the bag.

It's PROBABLY good but it can't be completely authenticated without a clear readable photo of the creed patch and serial number from inside the bag. You can take a photo of the patch when you get the bag and add it as a "reply" post to this one when you receive the bag. It's not in my files so I can't identify it from the serial number, sorry.
