Hi and welcome. Give the authenticators 24 hours for requests. Personally, if I was requesting something after 9 pm where I live, I would not expect a response until the next day. They volunteer their time for this and work across different time zones in the US. You may want to double check the post pinned to the top of the page to make sure you included all the requested info :smile:

Hey ladies, for your expert input pls:

Item: Littleton bag(?)
seller/site: nut4designerbrands on rtsy
Link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/965186144/new-vintage-coach-littleton-black
Comments: never seen a creed stamped inside on the base and I don’t know much about this style.
Thank you!

Even genuine Littletons have to be stamped on the inside of the base. There are no inside pockets, so there's nowhere else to stamp them.

Unfortunately, this one isn't genuine. ALL K3H- serial number prefixes are fake, no exceptions. Many of them are very close fakes, but that serial prefix is a dead giveaway.

ETA - if you use tPF's Search feature and enter "coach k3h" you'll find 10 pages of posts where we analyzed that prefix many times over the years and eventually determined that every single one was a fake. Scary good fakes, mind you, probably from China, but fakes nonetheless.

Scattered among all the VERY close fakes, we've found a dozen or two with exactly the same serial and creed fonts, but with details that proved they were counterfeit, such as incorrect hardware, and sometimes incorrect style numbers.

Good morning authenticators, hoping you’ll take a look at a purchase for me:

Stewardess
Adrienne / OfferUp
Please let me know if you need a clearer picture of the creed/serial number. It’s faint, but I can try to get a better image myself since I now have it in my possession.

It would really be great if you could take a new creed photo. The seller's pic is unreadable. Thanks!

Sorry about that, should’ve provided a new pic upfront! Here it is (and though it’s hard to tell in the picture, I’m pretty sure that final digit is a 7).
