So, they say confession is good for the soul. I bought this on impulse and now wonder if it's genuine. It's sticky, but it feels like Blackrocks. I have other cases like this that are flatter. I recall having something, from years ago, gusseted like this but need to be sure with this one.

We need the link to the actual listing, nothing can be authenticated with just a creed photo. Please read the READ ME post at the top of each page for a list of required information and photos.

I'm not seeing any problems with authenticity. It looks too shiny. If it is Blackrocks, it should get better in a few days. I might ask the seller what was used on it. I hope it isn't shoe polish.

It's a chunky case #7165.

Thank you, @whateve. I'm trying to find out now. Much appreciated.

Hello everyone! This purse was bought at auction (along with others) before I knew anything about Coach. I believe it is genuine but I need an expert‘s knowledge. This was a popular one I believe. Any idea on year also?

Well, the shininess and stickiness are now explained. This is NOT a product to use to rehab:

Leather Hero Leather Color Restorer & Applicator​

Figuring out how to return. I'm glad the seller told me. It is weird. Especially put up against other SLGs from the same time.

I found another one!

Thank you!

Good evening Authenticators, will you please look this bag over? I feel confident it's authentic but the strap seems to be unusually long and the hole placement on the strap looks different than bags of this style. Usually the holes are much closer together than what I see in the pics.

Item: I don't know the style number
Seller: Stillgoode Auctions

Weird! The buckles are completely wrong. The holes do seem too far apart. The rest of the bag looks authentic. The color is amazing but I have to assume the hardware has been replaced. I can't explain the hole placement. Maybe the strap is off a different bag. What a shame!

More opinions are welcome.

Thanks Whateve!
The color match of the strap, if it's from another bag, is spot on! I noticed the buckles were off - the shape, size and how shiny they were for a bag that age.

Oh, but that color!

I love the color! I wouldn't worry about the strap.

If it were me, I would try to find buckles that were closer to original and replace them. Then it would be perfect. This is what they should look like:

It looks good. The year is in the creed: 2007.

I'm hoping the strap is longer than what usually comes with that style - I prefer being able to wear crossbody's.

Perhaps The Buckle Guy has buckles similar to that, thank you again Whateve!
