Sorry, it's fake. Coach did make a style like that, but this one has too many problems, like the surface of the hangtag, the size of the links, and the font in the Coach stamp on the back. The metals in general don't look as durable as the ones Coach used.

A genuine 1703 Enamel Daisy would look like this:

Although Hyacinth already commented, I have another couple of other comps. The first appears to be the authentic version of what yours is trying to copy.

I love side by side comparisons because the differences are so easy to see when they're right next to each other.

Hello all! So happy I found this forum. I’m recently getting into vintage coach. I’ve heard/seen some super fakes ( didn’t know fakes were out back in the day) I’m having some trouble authenticating this bag. As the serial number is different than others I’ve seen online. Any helpful advice and or tips would be appreciated.
Purchased this bag at a local shop.
also it doesn’t look black. Could the color be Forrest green?

The color on the inside is usually what it originally looked like on the outside. It seems to be genuine but without more photos and especially measurements there's no way to tell what style it is. A list of requirements for photos needed for authentication and identification can be found in the READ ME post at the top of every page.

Wow Beenburned! I can see the difference with these side by sides. The engraved logo on the back of mine is centered higher and the top hole that holds the chain is different too. This is great detective work! Thanks again to both of you. I appreciate your expertise.

Remember to include the REQUIRED seller ID: bronzeve

The bag is fake and the receipt is one of the fake receipts we've been seeing from a lot of Japanese sellers and sellers from other Asian countries. (Also all props shown in the listing are fake too.)

The following entire thread discusses the fakes and the link posted mentions the buyer whose name appears on the phony receipt shown in the listing:

Japanese Coach ring - warning

Japan has strong laws against the sale of counterfeit items and generally, Japanese sellers have had a reputation for being honest. However there have been cases where Korean fake (Coach) bags were listed and relisted by more than one Japanese sellers. But a couple of weeks ago, I came across...

ETA: As more proof of the fraudulent listings, here are other sellers on Carousell with pictures with the same backgrounds. (The cheaters share pictures, descriptions, props, etc.)
