Hi, please authenticate this for me.
Bag was bought by a friend in China for his wife from JD.com. JD is similar to a Chinese Amazon. It was not sold by a third party vendor but by JD.com itself. The listing claim to be authorized vendor. Hence my friend never doubted the authenticity. When he sent me photos of the bag, I was pretty sure it's a fake. I just want to confirm it's a fake before he apply for a refund from JD. Thank you! Here is the link to the bag,

I attached photos I have.

Also any suggestions on removing a ink pen mark from a coach cowhide leather?

Thank you for this awesome service!

We have a rehab club where you can get tips. https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/coach-rehab-and-rescue-club.833400/

Personally I usually leave pen marks alone because trying to remove them may bleach out the leather around the pen mark, making it even more noticeable.

Thank you! Last count there were 12 months in the year and M is #13 of the alphabet. I can't wait to work on this one, I think it will rehab nicely! Right now, lots of color loss.

That exception is mentioned in the Salearea Guides. "I" was not supposed to be used as a month code but plant employees sometimes "didn't read the memo".

Thanks Hyacinth, I thought M was legit for December from my salearea reads and I thought the bag was December 6 or 8 .

Thanks Hyacinth, I thought M was legit for December from my salearea reads and I thought the bag was December 6 or 8 .

The 3-digit prefixes from 1994 to 2003 should be:
Month (letter A thru M) - Year (single number) - Plant (letter OR number) unless the employees mixed up the codes, which happened often in the early years of the new system. Rarely "I" or "N" would slip in as the month codes, or the month and plant codes were reversed.

Small items and even some small handbags like Demis, Minis, Swingpacks and many others are considered "accessories" and may or may not have creeds or serial numbers.

This one is genuine, made between about 1999 and 2002
