Once again asking if you can take a look at a bag for me:
The seller hasn't really specified much in the description. Just that the strap is 130cm long and that there is a pocket on the back side and a zip pocket inside.
I just received a photo of the inside. The one stitch seemed a bit wonky, but I don't if that means it's not authentic. I went ahead and bought it, because if it is genuine it's a steal. But if not I can still back out of the purchase.
I'm guessing this should be the 9921 Megan in jade?

Your bag is authentic, made in 1999 as are the other bags of the same style that you linked.

The creed stamping and serial number are correct for the years and the factory in which they were made.
Thank You!!! Wow, shocker - that one was saved from the fake pile.
That bag is in excellent condition so I'm glad even though I'm not too keen on the style itself.

Yes, authentic, and what a steal!
 
Hello!
I purchased my first Coach from eBay. I believe it is the black leather soho bag. F10188.
Measurements: 10x7x1 inches
Thank you so much!

I’m not sure how to edit my post, but here is the link!

Thank you! It's authentic.

    Comments: Hello Authenticators 👋 I've read all posts I could find on this little pouch. I was pretty confident when I bought it and now I'm having a sinking feeling...It feels good and seems mostly correct but the back of the turnlock is indented which I read could be a replacement... the cartouche letters are touching, no space between, and it's placement is in question. The hardware is not magnetized. I appreciate your expertise and all you do here on the forum!

Sorry but I have bad news. It's fake.

The most obvious are problems with the location of the logo and the turnlock hardware.
