Hi!
I bought this but the creed looks a bit off? The 'made in New York city' letter font looks too 'tall'?? My other NYC bags have more rounder fonts. I haven't received the bag so I can only rely on this listing pic but appreciate your expertise on this!

Item: Coach vintage crossbody purse
Listing number: NA
Site where listed: Mercari
seller: Stefunie101
Link: https://merc.li/DbtDmq29b
Comments: is this real?!
 
I’m really wanting this purse and there’s more then just this listing available here is the link and I’ll post photos below ( I don’t think it’s real but apart of me is hopeful)


I messaged this person about this bag then 4-5 ads popped up with similar photos the only few bags that didn’t use those photos showed the vin patch but after trying to read the pages of authentication I gave up.

Any help would be appreciated and if you see a real bag like this I’d love to be pointed into that direction.

I currently have 2 tea rose bags but they’re locked and stored or I’d compare the tag/features. I added the chalk coach collection and bag I have.

It's genuine.
 
I’m spazzing out because the seller of the bag I’m waiting to authenticate is holding the bag with payment in hand. I only have one day to make the purchase on eBay the is shoots back up $300 or so dollars.

could a authenticatior please take a look at my post that has accidentally posted I think 3 times (mobile phone error).

I’m also not sure if I skipped the the gun and missed a format of listing my request. Thank you so much sorry for the trouble.

Please wait for one of the authenticators who is familiar with recent styles.

Sorry for missing you. I saw the post and intended to get back to it after we returned from our long weekend away.

I hesitate to recommend buying (Coach) from Japan as we've been seeing a lot of fakes that are so very close that it's nearly impossible to authenticate without a lot of research and when items are determined to be fake, Japanese sellers are often difficult to deal with in disputes.

Had you asked about the bag prior to purchasing it, I wouldn't have recommended it because 3 of the 4 pictures are stolen stock images so there's not enough information to verify authenticity.

There are just 2 additional pictures posted of the bag in question and though they seem okay, I don't think there are enough pictures to confirm authenticity. (I don't see obvious problems.))

I'd appreciate a second set of eyes from @houseof999. She may request additional pictures.

If you do follow through on the purchase, please post pictures of all paperwork and any other issues you may find with the bag. The seller does have a 30-day return policy so there's some peace of mind there. And although the return policy states that buyer pays return shipping, that applies for "as described" returns. If SNAD (not as described), you have protection.
