And speaking of stamps on charms - most of the time if the Coach name is on the front, it WON'T be on the back.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Hyacinth.

Is there a good enough creed photo to authenticate? Thanks for looking.

It's a genuine Legacy Top Of Counter Compartment Bag, style 9167. And no, I don't have ANY idea how they came up with that name but that's what it says on the website page.

I love that name! It is better than all the names that are also colors. I have a Violet that isn't purple.

Thank you so much Hyacinth! Wow, the things one learns here, so they are Keyfobs. I thought it was like a coin purse, but why put it outside of the bag? LOL

I bet you knowledgeable (and long time Coach lovers), at times must have a good laugh at how we newbies describe things,

I have one that I put on the outside of my bag! It is too cute to hide inside.

Thank you! I think I can gather everyone up for a family photo after the red Carlyle is fit to be seen in public.

All look good. That isn't what we mean by elephant skin. That bag might be authentic. The leather is just wrinkled. I don't have a picture in my files of "elephant skin." It's just really bad quality leather.

THIS is "elephant skin" - long, parallel wrinkles like stretch marks from weight loss or pregnancy. They don't look like any deliberately texturized leather and are a sign of over-processing or overstretching.

You'll sometimes see a genuine Coach with stretch marks but ONLY in areas of the bag where the leather is actually stressed and stretched out, like the bottom corners of bags that are often overloaded. When you see stretch marks in the body of a bag or other item where there aren't any stresses, it's a big red flag. But always ask here before reporting them.

Some examples - the first one includes not just elephant-skin, but an always-fake serial number and a sewn-on cellphone pocket.:

That is really useful information and visuals always help.

Here is one for authentication. Thanks for your help.

You need to ask for a creed picture. The wallet (multi-function purse) looks authentic.
