So, one of my “wishlist” bags is a Geometric Bag (style 9043) and for a brief moment I felt excited upon first glance … but then of course saw this creed and felt red flags. Any authenticators want to confirm if this is fake?

Item: coach vintage black leather handbag shoulder bag
Listing number: 364238934228
Seller and site where listed: eBay, we432137
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/364238934228
Comment: don’t recall Geometric Bag having the long shoulder strap too. Possibly another sign of a fake? Mixed up design features from other bags? Or someone added a strap? I don’t really know

Comments:
I was wondering if this tote is authentic.
It would be great if any gurus can help verify.
I think this is a 4065 tote, but I’m not sure.
Please correct me if I’m wrong. Thank you

It's genuine and probably a Light Tote 4065 from the Lightweight line, but measurements are always helpful.

I'm not going to comment on authenticity and will leave that to another authenticator, but did you notice in the Comments section that the seller answered a question and admitted that s/he used shoe polish on the bag? For that reason alone I do not recommend buying it, or any Coach item that has been covered with shoe polish.


cindyburmeister Has the bag been dyed or any shoe polish used on it?

Seller tiadorj (remember to include seller ID)

Although the bag is authentic, you might want to decide whether you actually want it. Note that in answer to one of the questions, the seller states that she used shoe polish on the bag.

And on second thought, I don't recommend tiadorj. She sold this fake.
And the creed from the sold fake:
 tiadorj fake coach creed.png

And another fake she sold:
 tiadorj fake coach creed 2.png

ETA: This is another fake she has listed.

Sellers who mix are more dangerous than sellers who sell all fakes. Buyers tend to trust them because they sell a few genuine items then they mix in their fakes and rip buyers off.
