I found the wallet. It's C4124 (not 04124) and I believe your wallet is authentic.

So it's an outlet piece? I still don't understand why the stitching is so bad. I have outlet piece that are still done better than this.
Thank you so much for you help.

Yes, it's a MFF (made for factory) item. I can't explain why the zipper pull is so sloppy. (As far as I can see, that's the only sloppiness, right?)

I'm able to view the posts, but cannot upload photos when I go to make a reply - I get an error message.

I'm not seeing any posts of current issues but you can start a thread on this subforum:
Thank you both!! Issues lasted about 45 minutes. Unable to do anything including log out. I will try to create a thread on this subject in case it occurs again.

Remember seller ID: onken80

The bag is authentic but the hangtag isn't original to the bag it's on.

Hi there! My mother-in-law ordered this bag on Ebay and it wasn't what she wanted so she passed it along to me. I have some doubts about whether it's authentic...the leather doesn't feel as nice as my other vintage Coach bags. I can't seem to find this color online and I'm having trouble getting anywhere with my research. Thanks for any thoughts!
edit: having trouble adding additional photos -- it's a City bag!

It's authentic but not vintage yet since it was made in 2005 and not the same leather as the made in the Western Hemisphere, Italy and Turkey styles from the 1970s, 80s and 90s.

I don't know where you're looking "online" for the color but Coach's current website ONLY shows colors currently available. Those mid-2000 China remakes were made for the Factory stores and were almost never shown on the website. I don't know what the color is called.
