Genuine Soho Belted Pouch from 1997. The tan bits of leather on the "belt" are not original to the bag.

The buckle isn't original (nor is it Coach) to the bag. (ETA: The belt itself looks strange. I wonder if it too isn't original to the bag.)

This is what the buckle originally looked like:

Thanks Hyacinth and BeenBurned. Yes, I also notice that the buckle and the belts (especially the tan bits) look not the same as original. That why I'm abit skeptical of the if it is genuine.

Personally I'd steer clear of modified bags, especially when the seller doesn't disclose the modification(s). You can never be sure what a previous owner might have done to it. JMO.
