I'm seeing problems with several, at least 3, construction details. Also something is in one of the photos that doesn't belong there. As Whateve pointed out, there's no Coach logo stamped anywhere on the leather. BIG problem. A hangtag and a piece of paper can never prove something's genuine. The hardware seems to be at least 2 different colors. And where's the "original tag" the seller says comes with it???

The page says "This listing has ended." If you haven't already bought it, DON'T. If you've commited to buy it, cancel and get your money back.
Oops...bought it but just opened a returned request. I didnt notice the missing coach stamp until it got here today. Thank you!!!
 
There is no made on label and thay card that came with it is for the Coach signature collection. A case of being too excited. I'm returning it. Thank you!


Yes, the "Signature Collection" card was included in thousands of fake all-leather wallets in the last 15 years, we've seen them many times before. It's always a red flag.

ETA - I found the style it copied. It's actually a surprisingly close fake except for a few details, but those details are deal-breakers.

The seller had also removed any photos of the lining before I even saw the listing. ANOTHER red flag.

6911?

ETA: BTW, I have my own pictures of the identical (genuine) item and there's no Coach stamp on the item. My item did have an outlet stamp but the only other "Coach" indicator was the hangtag.

GIVE THAT LADY A CEE-GAR !!!!!!

The Coach stamp is actually in a few catalog and drilldown photos and 2 pics of a member's or seller's item from my files.

There are a few other small problems, but what surprised me are the small things they got right. I think we talked about that style before.

ETA - There was a similar wallet that we talked about back in 2016, but the photos I saved are dated Feb 9, 2021. Strange.


ETA - Got it.

This was/is my wallet and there's definitely no stamp. At the time, I'd looked with a magnifying glass but it's not there. If you enlarge, you can see the outlet stamp near the top of the center fold:
