The creed is the leather patch that has text with where the bag is made and the materials it's made of. Most creeds also have serial numbers.

I'm making the following statement with a caveat: The serial number you posted looks correct for the bag BUT counterfeiters can and do often put valid serial numbers on fakes. That's why a picture of the actual creed is necessary.

Thanks again. Just waiting on the email with the pic to confirm it all looks ok. I hope it works out. I think this would be the leather bag I am hunting for.

It looks good.

In the future, please refer to post #1 for the correct posting format. It makes it easier to search for sellers or listings.

I'm sorry but it's fake. It has an invalid serial number for the style, in fact a commonly seen serial number on many different styles of fakes. The lining is wrong, the pattern prints are wrong, the back of the bag is incorrect, the stitching is a sloppy mess. The bag isn't vintage (even if it were authentic.) ....there's nothing right about it.

I don't know the dispute process on Etsy but I'd go ahead and file a dispute against the seller, Bugocksvintage.

It's illegal to sell fakes and it was the seller's responsibility to authenticate the bag before listing so the seller can state "no refunds" till the cows come home but all bets are off when they sell counterfeit goods.
 
So I just found out that 1 of the 2 bags I bought is a fake. Could you please help me with the 2nd one.

Comments: I know this already ended, but do you think that Coach would actually release a bag with the emblem on upside down?
I believe the bag in the listing is authentic but it looks like Coach's quality control missed a HUGE mistake!! It should never have escaped someone's eyes. But please wait for other opinions on this one!! Good catch!

I've attached pictures of the plaque in case the seller ends the listing.

Late last year my outlet was selling ;arge, purple, dotted op art sophias and some of them had the logo affixed upside down. They were not marked as "irregular" or "defective" or "final sale". They were mixed in with the perfect purple sophias and were being sold at the same price! When I brought it to the attention of a manager, she knew all about it and said it was a "special bag!" I was shocked! :wtf:

I sent an email to customer service and got a non-response that they would look in to it.

Here's the thread about it:

Thanks for the info. I looked at that thread and now I am fuming! What happened to "superior craftsmanship" and "commitment to enduring quality"?
