Good day,
I found this little guy at a thrift store today. Can you authenticate it? Please

Wristlet

The wristlet is authentic and was sold in the outlet stores.

It's not necessary to show zipper brand as it's irrelevant as to authenticity.

Thank you BeenBurned. I wasn’t sure if you needed the zipper or not. What a sweet little wristlet. $1.99 was my cost. Thanks. Have a great rest of your day!
I found the style number of the item. It's a Soho capacity wristlet, style (F)42135. You got a great bargain, probably because they didn't realize it is Coach. (If it were a fake with Cs plastered all over, it would have been $20.)
 
Authentic Ashley pleated wallet. Sorry, I don't know the style number.
 
I'm 100% certain it's fake.

Be very careful when shopping on Carousell because there are more fakes than authentic items.

Also include a link to listings and seller ID in requests. If this seller has other listings, AVOID! (The link you posted isn't working for me so I can't see the listing.)
Omg too bad it is fake, really pretty bag though. From which picture you identify it as a fake?

Attached is the link :)

 
It looks good to me, made in 1998.

Keep in mind that when figuring out if a serial number is genuine, the FONT used for the number is just as important as the number itself. Both need to be correct for the item they're in. This one has the correct font as well as the correct codes in the number. All the bag's other details are also correct.

There ARE some serial numbers that are always fake, they're listed in the Daria48 Fake Coach Numbers List that starts here under Always Fake:

PART 2 - post 40

Thanks so much! That's great information.

Seller @claradeals on Carousell

We don't get too specific on the problems and what makes an item fake because we don't want to help the counterfeiters make better fakes.

But what I'll say is that there are problems with the quality of construction, the creed, the hangtag, fonts and other elements of the bag and props.

Additionally, when sellers take pictures taken in the Coach store, those aren't showing the actual items she's selling. (The bag shown in the listing of the color of your bag is NOT the bag you've pictured.)

This is a different color AUTHENTIC bag made in the same plant and year as your bag. It was made 3 months later than your bag pretends to have been made. Compare the various parts.

I'll repeat. Carousell is a minefield of fakes and I recommend caution, if not avoidance.
There's a proliferation of close fakes coming out of Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Japan) and unless one knows what to look for, buyers are going to get fooled.
