It looks okay.

Sorry, it's fake. The serial number is invalid, and the magnetic snap is not the kind used by Coach

ETA - I should have refreshed the page before answering, sorry!

Comments: Looks okay but want to check! Again, same seller, saw a bag on her site that made me say hmmmm?

Many thanks in advance!!!

 

[booties333]

Also, could you authenticate this one before I attempt to sell it? I'm not a reseller but I got it with a bag that I bought off of Goodwill a few weeks ago. The wallet is not my style so I figured I'd try to get a bit for it to offset my other purchases. I don't want to be part of the problem y'all are trying to mitigate. It's 4" by 5.5". No or marking inside except "Coach" stamped on the flap there in the pic. Thanks!

It IS FAKE. The removal was deserved.

AUTHENTICATE BEFORE you list or buy, NOT AFTER.

I don't know where you got your "information" that D2J- is a 1970s serial number, but you're MILES off the mark. Don't try to sell Coach products unless you're willing to learn about them. There are literally tens of thousands of Coach fakes in circulation and that's probably a very low estimate.

Every single photo except maybe one shows at LEAST one mistake that proves the bag to be fake. Even the style itself is fake!

Take it back to Goodwill, they sold you a piece of JUNK. Just like they've done to thousands of others. Which Goodwill store was it?

Thank you for replying. It was a bibs store where sold by pound so guess I am not out much ... I’ve seen so many with obvious bad stitching no creed... I guess I didn’t realize the fake market was that huge...

Even if they sell by the pound, it's STILL illegal to sell counterfeits in the US, even for non-profits. In fact, it's a felony. That sounds like a sneaky way to get rid of badly damaged or fake items.

And a thread with more than 78,000 posts asking about possible Coach counterfeits can indicate something about the potential number of fakes of that brand in circulation. There's even an earlier thread that's been Archived with more that 10,000 posts.

I've come to like these sling bags, but, on this one, the 'E' plant for made in the US has me concerned. Also, I thought the Sling Bag was earlier than 2002, date according to the number. Thank you all in advance for all of your help. I especially appreciate you filling your breaks from Turkey prep to answer questions like this.
