I'm not sure if that style was ever made. There are similar ones on the Coach site, listed in the men's wallet category. For example, the Signature Embossed Double Billfold. Here's a picture of it:

NO. All full-size wallets with those kind of Cs whether in black or brown are fake. If you want to post photos of the one you bought we'll take a look, but if it's like the one in the picture or has an interior with credit card lots and a plastic ID window on one side and a checkbook holder on the other, it's fake. That style is the most infamous fake on Ebay.

That bag is a Pouch, not a purse, and may not have come with a stamped serial number. It also wouldn't have needed "feet" on the bottom. Look at the measurements.

I just got a carly from ebay. I believe it to be authentic, but I would really appreciate feedback from those of you with experience. This is the first bag I have ever purchased from ebay (I just had to have the turquoise), and everything I know to look for checks out. The bag feels great - the fabric is heavy and stitching is perfect. The hardware is similar in quality to my other coach bags. The bag was missing the hang tag & I called coach to send me a new one. They asked for the serial number and it was correct, so they are sending out a hangtag. Thanks for your help

As mentioned here many times, Coach doesn't make a point of making sure the lining matches up. The colors on the Legacy Stripe lining have a set order, but the colors may not always start in the same place in different bags. The placement of the stripes can vary depending on where that piece of fabric was cut and sewn together. (You won't believe how many times people have asked about this!

thank you very much,Starrymaz
Wow! Thanks for the quick response, starrymazYour Carly is authentic.
You're welcome!
Wow! Thanks for the quick response, starrymaz
No problem! Enjoy your bag!
I just purchased this Sabrina (through PayPal), unfortunately not authenticating it first: (COACH - Madison Sabrina Collection (Handbag))
...and I googled the serial number and the exact one is on this fake bag on iOffer: (NEW COACH LARGE SABRINA BAG BK12949 For Sale)
Did I just get scammed and buy a fake? She hasn't sent the bag yet so I'd really like to figure this out so I can get my money back!!

It's real. The seller just put the wrong name in the title. It's a Carly Top Handle Pouch. That's why there's no feet on the bottom and why there's no serial number on the creed.
Style #12949 is the style number for the large leather Sabrina. The concern I have with purchasing on Craigslist is whether the pictures show the actual bag you'll be receiving. Did you ask the seller for more pictures to insure that those are the exact pictures of the bag? When buying on CL I always want to see more pictures because when pictures are uploaded to CL, the quality is degraded and it's hard to see the details very clearly. I don't see any red flags in the pictures on the Craigslist ad, but clearer pictures and more pictures of the bag from different angles would definitely help.
As for the one on iOffer, that one is definitely fake, as I can see from something in the picture. iOffer sellers are also notorious for using stolen pictures of real bags when selling fakes.
If you receive the exact bag that's pictured in the CL ad, you'll probably be ok. But please do post pics of your bag when you receive it and we'll take a look.
^ ^ ^ Thanks starrymaz...my biggest concern is, does each individual bag not have a unique serial number, as opposed to fakes that are mass produced with identical serial numbers...?
Would that not mean the bag on Craigslist is a fake, being that it shares the same serial number as the fake??
I'm just so worried!
