The bag is fake. If you're the buyer, open a dispute for NAD (not as described) and request a return for being fake. If you're the seller, you owe the buyer a refund.
 
Hi there!

Requesting authentication on this bag. I purchased, but can cancel. The creed isn't very clear, and the seller doesn't accept messages to request a better photo. If you can also provide some information on this, I would appreciate it. I saw one posted on a different platform (wasn't for sale) and fell in love.

The bag is authentic.

Just a comment: I would hesitate to buy from a seller who doesn't accept questions on their items. If they're not willing to be responsive before a sale, who helpful would you expect them to be if there's a problem post-sale?

Thank you Been Burned. I agree about your comment. Normally, I would follow that reasoning for sure. I'm not sure what it is about this bag that I love so much, I decided to take a chance. They do accept returns if necessary, so that would be an option if I need to.

Just one MORE comment.

The bag is a genuine Coach but it's definitely NOT a "Bonnie Cashin" nor does it have anything to do with her, so technically it's actually "Not As Described". It's called a Chauncey Bag, style 9897 and was made in 1992 or 1993 which is almost 20 YEARS after Cashin stopped designing for Coach.
