Looks good.

It's authentic. It isn't Bonnie Cashin. It was made late 70s or 80s, after Bonnie Cashin had left Coach. It's a pocket purse. The pictures the seller posted from Coach are of a different style. It could be very clean as it looks but in my experience it is really hard to photograph this color and have any stains or imperfections show up in the photos. You could ask the seller if there are any stains or marks.

Thank you so much for your advice. Have a good day. X

I have some questions regarding the 0AZ (A0Z) serial number. Does anyone know why the numbers are reversed? Did this only happen with the #9063? Or were there other models? Did this only affect the bags made in the DR?

TIA

Mistakes like this happened, mostly when the workers were inexperienced. It happened at many different factories. It was easy to do with the stamps they used.

Thanks for your response. I’m new to learning Coach’s serial numbers. I was just kinda curious about the history of the reversed numbers. I recently purchased a #9063 to rehab (my coach unicorn), and was a bit thrown off by the serial number - I couldn’t make out if it was a O or 0.

We really need to see a photo of the creed and serial number for all Mercari and Carousell listings, since Mercari doesn't work with some browsers and Carousell has a higher than average percentage of fakes and experienced fakes sellers. But there's an almost 100 percent chance that it's fake, so be prepared to return it.

Okay, I attached seller's photos. I'm sorry, I didn't know about those sites not working on some browsers. I'm not home at the moment, but can add more of my own later if that helps. Thank you so much, Hyacinth!

It's fake. If you can decline the transaction or dispute the charge, do so.

It's authentic but missing the strap.

Bought this off Mercari for 13 dollars, just wanting to know if it’s real or not.
