Could someone help to identify if I have purchased the authentic Vintage Coach bag or not, thank you.

I was so excited anticipating the bag to arrive. After checking the bag. there are defects and made me wonder if I have purchased a fake Vintage Coach bag. The seller suggested I use the purse forum website to check for authenticity.
could someone help me, please thank you so much

Dear authenticators,
Could you take a look at it and verify at your convenience whether it is genuine? thank you so much
 
Hi,

Please help me verify if the below Coach vintage Chelsea bag is authentic. The pictures seem kind of too dark and not sure if the label inside is authentic. Many thanks.

Item: Magnetic Closure Rare Vintage 90s Coach Chelsea Bag
Listing: https://posh.mk/LF9vkUi7SGb
Seller: lorac2015

Sorry, I don't recommend seller " lorac2015 " on Poshmark or anywhere else, and will not authenticate any of her listings.

A Search of the forums will give more than enough reasons for my decision. That's why we tell posters to do a few simple searches here before buying. There are two pages of posts about that seller including the infamous Hangtag Hostage Incident.

Thank you. I’ll keep trying to find one from a different seller.

It looks genuine and from late 1989 or the early 1990s, but it's hard to narrow it down without measurements. If it's about 7 1/2 by 7 1/2 inches it's probably a Compact Pouch, style 9620. Here's a 1989 catalog page:

Thank you! I appreciate you looking into the bag and passing along that info! The listing says the bag is 9x8 and I commented to ask about the depth as well, but judging from the pic it looks like it is the compact pouch!
