Thanks! That color set of warning bells. I bought a fake Lunchbox Zip about 15 years ago in that exact Periwinkle color with an X6G-9991 number, and wondered if that was a twin to it.

It looked too deep of a color and the inside was too white. Usually when I've seen them, they are lighter and prone to fading. They did a good job on tapering the handle but the zipper pull wasn't sewn all the way around and there weren't zipper stops.

Good to know, I couldn't see any of the details. But the serial number details were enough. That style inspired a LOT of fakes.

It took me a while to realize that there was a problem with the serial number in the one I bought, but I was just starting to figure out Coach serials back then.

Thank you so much Hyacinth & Whateve! I thought the font looked peculiar.

For the record, this isn't moongrl611's only fake. (I haven't looked at everything. There may be more!)

Here's another: https://www.ebay.com/itm/285071467437?hash=item425f9563ad:g:aQQAAOSwk2NjlSnP
