Hi everyone. New "collector" here. ;)
I bought a bag at an outlet today and I'd really like a matching wallet. Not sure if this is really authentic.

I am deferring to the experts b/c I'm a newbie. Authentic?

It's a new seller with little feedback selling many highly faked styles of wallets - just a few of the red flags we warn people about. There are things that make me uneasy about this seller's wallets and selling history. Previously, the seller sold many pairs of UGGs, which is also a brand that is frequently faked. I would only buy Coach wallets, especially styles that are as frequently faked as these, from an established, known reputable seller.

In the future, please use the format from Post #1, as this helps make searching easier. Thanks.

Thank you. I was a little suspicious too. Sorry about the bad format.

I'm not quite sure what your question is? Can you be more specific?

And we settled the discrepancy about the original listing.

Item: COACH White Optic C Carley Slim Bag Purse! EUC! Spring!
Listing number: 150433786597

Chickened out on the last one I posted... not sure about this one, I think the creed patch engraving seems different than others I've seen, but I'm not sure.

It looks good and the creed is fine. This is a Slim Carly, which has a narrower base and slightly longer strap drop than the regular Carly.

I'd appreciate it if someone could take a look

That listing is fine.

Be careful of Goodwill listings because they don't always exercise due diligence in authenticating their items. Also, they frequently have huge "lot listings" that often include a mix of authentic and fake.

Thanks, BB!

I waasn't sure because the words 'handcrafted' and 'in' on the creed patch seemed close together, and I wanted a more experienced opinion.

I agree that some of the words are very close together but I am pretty sure that it's one of the styles that the authentic bags have that problem with the spacing on the creed.

Other opinions are welcome.

In the listing that was originally questioned, the seller had put the incorrect style number in the title. SEller had misread the style as 9818 when in fact, it was 9816. The bag was deemed to look okay.
