And the last one is (I think) a Swinger with unique serial code xxx-xxxx made in USA. The first photo is flat and the second I stuffed it because it looked weird flat.
12" x 7" x 3 1/5"

Is there such a thing as coach sport?

Those are all Korean-made ripoffs using Coach's name and violating its trademark. Anyone selling one as a real Coach is Keyword Spamming at the very least, or selling counterfeits at worst since the only reason the company got away with violating Coach's trademark is because Coach had to sue them in a Korean court, and the court let them get away with it.

Thanks for explaining. I didn't understand that you weren't asking about a specific bag but instead, were questioning the style and whether there are different versions of it.

In order to authenticate a particular seller's item, the one you will purchase, we need to see actual pictures of it. The pictures that the seller sent aren't adequate. So far, it seems okay but without further pictures, I don't feel comfortable giving a thumbs up.

Please request a picture of the full front of the bag, a close up of the logo and a picture of the creed.

I'm not sure where you're located but I do know a lot of Singapore and Malaysian buy from trustworthy US sellers and resell in their country.

However there are also a lot of fakes being sold and many buyers don't recognize items as fake, thus feedback doesn't necessarily reflect the seller's honesty.

If you will please add the additional pictures, I'll be able to advise.

Yes you are right. I am from Singapore. The prices are 2x us price here. So we chose to buy from people who conduct spree.

I have attached more pics now.

It looks okay to me but other opinions are welcome because I've not seen bags made in Myanmar/Burma before.

They/ve been making bags in Myanmar for a year or two now, someone even mentioned it at the Fashion forum at Ebay about a year ago. The inside tag matches the one I have on file..
