I am interested in buying this (maybe). At first I was concerned with the plasticy look, but I was able to track down a real Leah that looked similarly, but with a different shape? All I finding from google on this doesn't look too good, and the creed # is getting me no where. The seller seems to sell a lot of Coach, but I'm a little suspicious. They have some bad feedback, but it just seems to be irate customers, not anything regarding authenticity. Help?

Although the style of the bag is accurate and the fabric is a coated cotton, I don't recommend this seller. She has a long history of stealing pictures from other seller and websites and she has also sold fakes.

I'm not an expert, but Coach did make this shape. The more common one has the turnlock pocket on the front. The fabric is coated canvas.
Here is a link to another one in this style:

I have this same color, in the other style, and for your information, the color is closer to the stock photo than the other photos. Mine has the same color lining as the one you are interested in.
Try googling Coach leah, rather than the style number.
Thanks for all the advice everybody. The price will probably sky-rocket anyway, and I wouldn't want to spend a lot on a bad seller.

Sorry to bother you so much. I wouldn't blame you if you banned me. I just don't want to report anything I'm not sure of, but I can't stand the idea of people getting away with selling fakes.

1. goldizen123 - fake
2. landk402010 - fake
3. authentic - strap is convertible
4. Looks fine - depending on the pattern placement, it's possible that some parts of the print might not be on all items.
5. Looks okay to me but other opinions are welcome. These older hangtags were made with 2 layers of leather glued together. The glue often broke down and the two pieces separated, with the owner sometimes using them as two separate hangtags.
Please request lining and/or creed pictures of both. (#1 might not have a creed but please request an interior photo.)
First is a fake style. Second has slightly misaligned fabric and even if it was repaired if that was the original strap, it's wrong, and the leather looks like plastic. Creed pics would help to verify. I think the second one is trying to copy one of these, notice how thin and cheap the hardware is in comparison:
