I need additional pics. I've requested pics of the made in tag but seller hasn't posted them yet. Instead seller started asking if I'm a buyer or a seller. I told her I need pics on behalf of a buyer. She may or may not reply to me since I'm not buying. I'm unable to authenticate without the necessary pics.

I got the same pics. Thank you for your patience. It's authentic IMO. I'd still like @BeenBurned 's opinion. She has more expertise in signature items.

I'm glad to see that she sent pictures to @houseof999 knowing that she's not a buyer.

FWIW, it shouldn't matter whether someone is a buyer, a seller or just a looker; pictures shown should be adequate for a buyer or authenticator to verify (or deny) authenticity. And some sellers don't understand that pictures can also help the seller's own reputation.

I think the bag is okay too.

Yeah, she asked me the same thing too which felt a bit weird since she says they're authentic but alas.

Thank you both so much for your time, I really appreciate it xx

Item: black coach bag (unsure of what kind of bag/style)

Hi, I wanted to know if this is authentic and if anyone knows what kind of bag it is? Seller has disclosed that the bag will be missing the original strap. Thank you!

I'd like to see the made in China label.

I cannot authenticate it one way or the other.

But there are details that make me a bit uncomfortable:
  • On care cards for specialty material items, I cannot recall having seen cards that didn't state what the "specialty" material is. Those I recall (without having pictures of them) seemed to have the material (buffalo leather, snakeskin, etc.) with specific direction on caring for that material
  • sealant on the Coach patch on the front is uneven
  • the heat-embossed border is uneven - close to top edge and further in on the bottom
View attachment 6132230

The stitching on the trim on both left and right sides is quite uneven and the varying stitch length seems wrong:

Thank you @BeenBurned, I value your observations so far.

Here’s the brown tag, located inside the main section of the clutch. Also the reverse side of the card that was inside the clutch.

Thanks again

Comments: Seems to be a Python Foldover Clutch. No creed/label apart from Made in China brown tag.
Measures approx 11.5 x 10.5. Contrast leather edges are pearlised

Many thanks as always

What I see of the card and the made in label, they seem right.

But I still don't feel confident enough to say whether it's authentic or fake.

Although the bag in question is authentic, supremethriftca is another mixer.

She has this fake. This bag is NOT on Coachtopia as stated by the seller!

and she sold these.

There are probably more fakes but I gave up looking after finding these. supremethriftca has to do a better job learning about Coach.
