We need to see more than just a creed picture in order to determine authenticity.

It's authentic, made in 2005 but I can't find the official name of the style but it's probably called along the lines of Soho signature slim duffle.

Hello there Authenticators,
Is the extra faint serial number of this bag a red flag or just a factory manufacturing defect? Thx so much for checking it.

Sorry, it's fake. There are major problems with the C pattern, the stitching, the hardware, the lining, and the creed patch and serial number.

Style number 6232 belongs to a Coach bag that doesn't look anything like this. That number has been found in dozens if not hundreds of fakes made in the 2000-2010 decade. It isn't even the correct style for that style number.

Get your money back, it's a felony at least in the US to sell fakes.

This is what the AUTHENTIC style 6232 looks like:

The creed is very faint on this bag. Trying to decide if I should buy this for my collection- any feed back to authenticity & condition is helpful

-Ty again for your expertise- you have expanded my collection & that delights my soul-

Please post a copy of the seller's photo of the creed and serial number.

These pics were copied from the seller's post. I also added two other shots. I can't make out much from the faint serial numbers. Thanks Hyacinth!

The creed and serial number indicate the bag is genuine, but that heavily textured leather isn't how the leather of that style should look. Those wrinkles, especially the ones on the front of the flap, are NOT what the "scars, scratches, veins and wrinkles" in the creed are referring to. If I saw those wrinkles on a confirmed fake I'd see them as a sign of overstretched or overprocessed leather. If the bag is genuine, it could be that they were caused by frequent usage like opening and closing the flap without any kind of conditioning to try to keep the leather soft. The long parallel wrinkles right at the top of the flap probably are from frequent opening and closing. The other ones just bother me. JMO. Maybe I'm over-thinking things.

More opinions are welcome.
