The bag is a very closely faked style but so far, although I don't see any obvious problems, I'd like to see a picture of the front and back of the bag turned inside out. (It's supposed to be reversible.)

Also, please post a picture of the top opening clipped together but propped open. This is what I'm talking about:

I'm sorry but I don't believe it's authentic, though other opinions are welcome. I believe it's a very close fake.

I'm seeing problems with the made in tag (a color, font and fabric), creed and clip.

CREED: Compare "A" in Coach and thickness of text


CLIP:


MADE IN tag: (Note that my comp is from a MFF (made for factory outlet) bag, thus the dot, but otherwise, fabric, color and font should match.)

Wow! That’s such a shame. Someone must’ve spent quite some time on this bag trying to perfect the small details to pass it off as real.

I appreciate the time taken to compare here! Thanks a bunch! I just hope it wasn’t expensive. I know Goodwill will mark up “Name Brand” items that come in.

Hello and good morning!

My name is Ray and I'm an Ebay reseller, store name CRaved Merch. I acquired this bag during a local auction, but wanted to confirm its authenticity before I sell it as real. It looks to be almost brand new, here's the pics. I really appreciate any help with this, as I'm in the early learning stages of the Coach bag world! Feel free to contact me if you need anything else and THANKS in advance!!

Ray

Welcome.

I believe the bag to be genuine and legal to sell.

Just so you know, if a bag isn't authentic or can't be confirmed as such, it's not legal to sell at all. Your comment seems to imply that you believe you can sell it as fake as long as you don't claim it to be authentic. You cannot do that and doing so puts your account at risk.

Many sellers mistakenly believe that it's okay to sell non-authentic items if they claim not to know if authentic, if it was a gift, if they admit it's fake, etc., but that's incorrect.

THANK YOU!

Welcome.

I've looked at the listing and although I see some paperwork, it doesn't show the tag with the price and bar code info. Was that included?

If so, I'd like to see that.

I recommend extreme caution in buying Coach from Japanese websites. We've been seeing very closely faked items so all details and sellers should be checked.

So far, I don't see any problems with the backpack.

Hello.
Thank you for the quick reply…and Japan warning!

And thank you all for providing such a thorough and helpful site! Great resource and community.

I shouldn’t be surprised as Japan has proven so good at copying cameras, cars and guitars over the years.

I‘m concerned about this backpack because:

I could not find the exact model anywhere online, just this one. Seems strange.
Not sure if that metal COACH tag on bottom of black pouch is correct.
Numbering on creed.

No paperwork seems available. Was bought used.

Are photos of any small inside tags, embossed tags on zippers, etc., helpful?

I need to decide to pay or cancel within 3 days.

If authentic, I’d like to buy it.
If likely fake, absolutely not.

Big Thanks again for your help.
Any guidance as to what I should do is appreciated.

Mitch

I can't say much more about authenticity than I've already commented.

It's possible that the bag may have been made to be sold in the Asian market. Coach does make items for various markets so you don't see a lot of them in the US. From my digging, that seems to be the case.

I did find one of the same bag that sold on Tradesy that you can compare. It appears to be authentic.

Vestiaire Collective: Buy & sell designer second-hand fashion.

3 million items, 12,000+ brands. Luxury pre-loved fashion, up to 70% off. Expert authentication, trusted by millions.

www.tradesy.com

The Coach logo on the bottom front of the bag appears to be correct for the style.

Sorry I can't give a definite thumbs up or down.

There's no way I can authenticate it with those photos.

I'm going to make a suggestion. If the creed and serial are unreadable, DON'T BUY IT. Or figure out how to take a photo of that detail that we can actually read. My eyes are bad enough as it is.

There's no "gray" listed as a color option, but there was a color called Smoke listed as an option for that style (Chelsea Hippie Zip) and the similar 9458 Chelsea Hippie Flap in the Holiday 2000 catalog for those styles. There's no actual photo of any bag I can find in that color and I don't even know if "Smoke" is even a shade of gray so I don't know if that's the color of the bag in question, which BTW is genuine.

@DL Harper this Chelsea Hippie Flap 9458 listing, that I pulled off the Wayback Machine for you the other day, shows "smoke" as a gray color.
