It's authentic and officially vintage since it was made in 2001. It is a Bleecker pocket zip.

It's fine. It's a crossgrain city zip tote.

Hi, is this genuine or a factory made outlet bag?

Hello, Would you please authenticate this bag I purchased from seller Claudia Mendoza on Mercari? When I received the bag, the creed is different than the one she advertised in the picture. Iam going to show her listing and then what I got. Any advise on how to return it because I accepted it believing it was originally authentic. So sketchy

It IS authentic. But you're welcome to wait for more opinions.

I definitely trust your expert knowledge. I just needed to confirm because I was shocked for a moment.

Salearea Guide on serial numbers:
"...Up until the end of the 1990s, the serial numbers were mostly hand-stamped using a mechanism that allowed the operator to change numbers quickly, and often in early Coaches you can see the top or bottom of the next number in line above or below the actual serial number (the forum term for that is "overstamping). And rarely in the late 1980s the dash between the two halves was skipped over and a string of 8 numbers would be stamped. Neither of these production glitches means that the bag is a fake although we've actually seen some fakes with phony overstamping marks, and neither did numbers that were off-center, angled, or bumping into the border of the creed statement. Contrary to what all too many “guides” say, early Coaches were NOT perfect and uneven numbers are NOT always signs of a fake. But they still need to be checked by an expert since the same things can be found in fakes..."

I agree that the bag you received has a different creed from that shown in the listing but is it the same bag you got? Is it possible that the seller may have had 2 different but similar black Coach bags and just posted the wrong picture in the listing? Did you contact her to ask what may have happened?

It could have been a simple mistake.

HI authenticators, this purse doesn't have a serial number, so I'm not sure about its authenticity. Could you help me check? Thank you in advance
