Can someone please help me- I'm not familiar with coach bags, but I purchased this one to give to a friend who is moving overseas as a gift. I believe it's called a coach duffle bag, but I'm not sure it's authentic because I'm not sure about the creed. I like the bag, but I'm just worried that she will be insulted if I give her a fake bag

It's authentic but I don't know the name of the style.

I am not 100% sure this is fake, but the creed wording, lining, and creed number do not quite add up. Please authenticate. Thanks!

I don't even have to look at the photos, the serial number is on the Fakes List. If you don't already have those posts or links saved you might want to thing about doing it. Or you can save Daria48's link to her Fakes list posted at Ebay:

http://search.reviews.ebay.com/members/daria48

Under "ALWAYS FAKE" - A8M-4896 - ALWAYS fake and probably wouldn't have been used in a purse"

Not only would style number 4896 never have been used in a classic Sonoma or ANY purse, but that style number belongs ONLY to a leather Swing Wallet that was discontinued at the end of 1996 or early 1997.

Also, the creed wording is wrong not just for any Sonoma but also for 1998, the lining is wrong, and the serial font is wrong too,

Do not buy from
MyPurseOrphanage on Etsy
or mypurseorphanage on ebay .

The seller has been reported multiple times and clearly hasn't learned a lesson, or if she has learned anything, she doesn't practice it!

In Sept. 2015, one of her bags was asked about and was determined to be fake and it was found that she had another fake that was listed at the same time:

And this is in the Coach Hall of Shame from January, 2015:
