It certainly looks like it. Wrong style number, and the serial number font is wrong and the plant code is invalid. There was an "F" plant in 1994 but the serial number used a very distinctive and unique font, was only in operation for about 2 months, and only made briefcases. Insist on a full refund.

A GENUINE F plant creed and serial number from the 1990s should look like this, which looks more fake than the fakes but is actually correct:

Please, NEVER buy or bid on a "Coach" unless the seller is showing a clear readable photo of the creed and serial number. And authenticate here before buying.

Thank you @Hyacinth

Counsel duly noted...I can only think I may have bought it late at night rather than seeking authentication before pressing the button.
Still learning!

It's an authentic court bag from 1995.

Good morning authenticators, may I ask what's the meaning of the circle mark on the creed? It seems it doesn't have fix location and some purses don't even have one.

Also, I've seem some purses have a "X" mark, instead have circle mark.
