Dear Authenticators,

Would you take a look at this City bag on eBay - looks fake to me because of the turn lock and other hardware.

Website: eBay
Listing number: 116012513203
Seller ID: jmontili
URL: https://www.ebay.com/itm/116012513203

Thank you so much.
Although I can't read the full creed and serial number, all indicators are that it's a Korean-made fake.

Report away!
 
It's fine and the tag is correct for the wallet. I have it in my records as being from 1995 also.
Are you missing seeing a Coach stamp? My own item has a "Coach" embossed name on the upper right of the front, under the flap.

I found photos so I knew where to search for the embossing. This wallet is not embossed there..nor anyplace else that I can find. The paperwork & the zipper pull are the only "written" indicators of Coach.
BB - note my photos. I find it concerning that this wallet is not stamped or embossed as "COACH" like others of this style. Other than a human error, any clues as to why this is isn't stamped? Would it have been a "second" that got through QC and into the selling market anyway? I've looked inside, outside and upside down and find no stamping, not even a bullseye.

All three are authentic.
 
I love this bag. Looks good to me, but asking the experts! Thank you in advance! Is this a "multi compartment zip?" Also, the zipper pull doesn't match the catalog photo--not sure what that might mean.

It looks authentic but the zipper pull has been replaced.

Hello authenticators!
I was hoping to find out if this station bag I picked up at a flea market is authentic, please.
Thank you!
