Thanks for the details of the things that are wrong. I thought it was fake and wanted to report it to eBay, but the Coach Hall of Shame pinned post said to post in authenticate thread first appreciate your help

It's been reported.

ETA-And if it DOES say "Made In Korea", did you search tPF for "Coach made in Korea"?

I am familiar with “Made in Korea” being a huge identifier of fake coaches (I read all the SaleArea guides) — I just couldn’t read anything in the creed photo posted due to how blurry it is. All I could make out was the weird unframed Coach stamp and the stitching issue, sorry.

No problem, we understand.

When you've seen as many Korea-made fakes as we have here (probably in the hundreds), you can almost spot one with your eyes closed. The lack of a cartouche around the Coach name and the weird font and incorrect number count used in the serial number are like neon signs. I don't actually have to be able to clearly read the Made In Korea line, just the general shape of the letters is enough.

Hi Authenticators. This bag strikes me as fake, but I’d like to hear from you on if I’m totally off base, or correct. The creed looks off, and the stitches seem wrong (usually with vintage Coach, wouldn’t they would the color of the bag?)

Item: vintage coach brown leather crossbody bag# 202-06 .n13
Listing number: 394511299124
Seller and site where listed: eBay, anst-3271
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/394511299124
Comments:

Please post a copy of the seller's creed and serial number photo(s). Is the "202-06" in the listing title the actual serial number in the bag? And does the creed say the bag was Made In Korea?

ETA-And if it DOES say "Made In Korea", did you search tPF for "Coach made in Korea"?

Nearly impossible to make out any of it, but I’ve never seen a creed without a frame surrounding the Coach name (but me not seeing one, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist… unless an Authenticator here tells me it doesn’t exist hah). Third photo is stitching color. Do vintage purses ever have such visible stitches or do they *normally* have thread color close to the color of the bag?

Not an authenticator, but I know Coach creeds do not start with the words: "This is a good leather bag."

View attachment 5739478

Wrong turnlock, wrong serial number format, completely gibberish creed that starts "THIS IS A GOOD LEATHER BAG...", wrong kind of logo above the creed, poorconstruction on the flap and yes it says Made IN korea

DON'T buy A "Coach" if you can't read the creed or serial number.

Although the listing in question from seller anst-3271 was removed, the same seller has (or had) this fake bag too:

Good afternoon, authenticators. On this blustery and cold afternoon, I wonder if I can use this listing as a learning experience.

I don't recall the "F" plant in many bags, let alone in a duffle for a 'made in the United States' bag. Any insight will be very helpful.

Seller spelled Carie wrong and doesn't seem to know the full name of the bag, but she has been very forthcoming when asked for more photos and information.
