Looking at the creed, maybe it says F057131, not FQ. If you do a google search, F057131 pulls up similar looking bags for sale in Japan.
I only found one bag that came up which leads me to think it was misread as F0 instead of FQ. I think if it was F0 then there would've been a lot more of the same style bag in different colors also. I find it odd that coach would make one style bag in only one color.

I just came across this bag, and it’s newer than the vintage bags I normally go for, so I would love an opinion on it. It’s a legacy bag; I thought at first it was from the 65th anniversary collection, but I think it was actually made a year after for the outlets. Thank you for all the work you guys do, it’s truly been so helpful.

Item: Legacy turnlock bag
Seller and site where listed: cherylhayshayes from Poshmark

Comments: Serial number is G0882-F12868, made in China in 2008. Does anybody know if or how the leather is different from the 65th anniversary version?
 
Trying to get a response on the authenticity of this bag. It came with a COA, but has an unusual style number. I appreciate the response to that, but can someone weigh in on their thoughts of authenticity?

I understand what you guys do is all voluntary and on your own time. If it is unlikely that anyone would like to look at my photos to confirm, please just let me know so I can stop bumping my thread.

Again, much appreciation and thanks.

I don't think you're being ignored. I suspect that no one has seen an FQ bag either and cannot confirm or deny authenticity.

@houseof999? Do you have an opinion?

I'm curious @lonelyunicorn9211. Who is the COA from?

Here's a listing that I feel comfortable enough to say I believe it's authentic. Notice the style number.


I wouldn't buy the one with the FQ number.
