I can't find the seller ID on the website. This is the link: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...cQFnoECBEQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3cx8OEdi8MLNqMueSZRfLv

It's very hard to take a picture but I'll try again. I see the number is A1981-73995.
I think it's fake and the bag smells like plastic in some parts and a bit of leather in some other parts. The seller says that the bags come straight from a factory and they name themselves Coach outlet.

Thank you!IMG_6995.jpegIMG_6993.jpegIMG_7011.jpegIMG_7003.jpegIMG_7001.jpeg

https://www.coachoutlet.com/ Is this website legit?

As @whateve said, coachoutlet.com IS a valid website and it's run by Coach.

However the site from which you purchased the bag, mercadolibre.com.mx is one I'm not familiar with. Although the listing claims that it's sold by "Coach Outlet," I'm not sure that it's the real Coach outlet.

The bag has problems and differences that make me uncomfortable and my opinion is that the bag is fake and the seller isn't Coach.

The single listing picture is a Coach stock image so it tells us nothing about the bags you and the other 100 buyers received.

The problems I see are with:
1. Font of "Coach" on creed looks wrong although your picture isn't quite clear enough to tell whether that's the case IRL
2. Space between "No" and the serial number should be a wider space than on your item
3. Stitching down sides of creed should be closer to the edge
4. Sealant looks wrong.
5. Your bag has a 2019 date code but I don't believe the Tabby was made that early. The earliest I've found is 2021.

This picture is shown as the "seller" but I don't believe it's the real Coach Outlet.

If it was really the outlet, the listing would have more pictures as shown on the following listing from Coach. This is what it would look like:

COACH® | Tabby Shoulder Bag 26

A modern take on an archival 1970s Coach design, our structured Tabby shoulder bag is craftedofpolished pebble leather. Finished with our Signature hardware for an iconic touch, the compact 26 features two detachable straps to carry by hand, style as a short shoulder bag or wear crossbody.
www.coachoutlet.com www.coachoutlet.com

I'm 99.99999% sure that the "Coach Outlet" seller on mercado libre is a scammer pretending to be Coach.

Other opinions are welcome.
