I think it's okay but the pictures are awful. I wish people would learn to use the macro function and have decent lighting!

Please wait for other opinions before making any decisions because unless we can see clearer and closer pictures, I can't be sure.

I noticed the thread used for the zipper is a different color than the thread used on the rest of the purse. Is this normal? I examined my wallet & bag, both purchased from Coach factory, and only in the bag liner is the thread color different.

I don't have that item to compare but it's not unusual for Coach to use more than one color of thread on different parts of the item. And in fact, thread colors are sometimes telltale signs of fakes when the fakers don't get it right.

We need to see the rest of the bag. Can you post pics of the bag and the inside and outside zipper hardware, along with the slider adjustment for the shoulder strap? And a wider-angle view of the inside from a bit farther back too.

Most Sonomas were known for having wonky creed patches with lousy stitching, but the "o" in "No" looks more like a "u".

ETA - You should have mentioned that you had posted photos at another thread.

The bag is genuine.

Comments: I'm looking for something to carry my camera in and the Get it Now on this one is extremely reasonable if it's authentic. Looks like it may be a factory item. If someone could tell me one way or the other I would appreciate it!

I asked for close ups and most were blurry. These were the best pics. She said there is no creed.

It looks ok. It looks like the Signature Gallery Double Pocket Pouch, style 1751.

Thank you very much, Hyacinth! Sorry about posting in the other thread. I posted then thought I posted in the wrong place. These two threads are similar to me. I guess one is for checking things out before you buy and the other to learn about what you already have. Am I right?

Excuse#2. I need to get my laptop back from our daughter. The computer I am using to post pics is a work laptop that's almost useless. Most of the time I post from my iPhone. It doesn't copy/paste from thread to thread, but it sure works a lot faster than the work laptop.

I'm really starting to have a lot fun with this website and I don't want step on any toes. Sorry again. And thanks for your time.

No problem. I'm glad you didn't get stuck with a fake. The Sonoma creeds can throw anyone off until they've seen a few of them since a perfect Sonoma creed probably doesn't exist - a few of them even have the first 2 digits flipped.so that the year code is first and the month code second, and a few have a month code that's not supposed to exist. In fact if the creed's too perfect I'd probably be worried that the bag was fake. :D

And yes, the "ID" thread is to find out the names and info for genuine bags, and this one is to check on any bag where someone isn't 100 percent sure of its authenticity. Obviously this thread is a lot busier than the other one. ;)

#1 - need more pictures. Please request pictures of a closer view of the front, the snaphead, the inside Coach stamp, the inside of the coin pocket and both male and female sides of the snap.

#2 - I don't recommend tlwesthoven. The seller has bought fakes from known sellers of fakes.
