Hi all! I need professional help to make sure this bag is authentic before buying and would greatly appreciate it!

Item: vintage coach
Site: https://carousell.com/p/1073297478
seller: monovintage

Fingers crossed its authentic.
I didn't answer sooner because I wanted to verify something before speaking an opinion.

It's been said before that some sites are safer and more highly recommended than others, both because the safer sites are more proactive in responding to fraud and the sellers tend to have more integrity and either avoid listing or end listings of fakes.

Unfortunately, Carousell is NOT one of the better sites and one from which buyers need to be very careful before purchasing, IMO.

Although the pictures of the bag you asked about show an authentic bag, the seller is a mixer. (Mixers can be more dangerous than sellers who have all fakes. Buyers tend to trust them more which can lead to expensive mistakes.)

In the case of Aznie Fauzi@monovintage, she is a mixers. Some Coaches seem to be okay but although I'm not an expert in LV, I suspect that there's a mix or all fake Louis Vuitton bags. Such is the case with this fake LV. The date code indicates a bag made in the 58th week of 2039!

I don't recommend sites or sellers who knowingly list fakes (despite whether "price reflects authenticity.") And after looking at more of the listings, I suspect all her LVs are fakes.

The black one is a genuine Large Daypack made in 2000

The red one is fake, it has an invalid serial number, hardware problems and at least one mistake in its construction.
