It's authentic. Patterns aren't always matched on side seams. It's impossible due to the size and repeat of the pattern.

For future reference, please post requests in the format requested in post #1 of the thread.

Thank you. :) I thought I followed the right format since it wasn't from an auction. Sorry about that!

Wherever you read the information that "the Cs have to line up at the seams" please ignore that and ANY other similar "rules" you might have found from the same source or from anywhere else on the internet. Almost every one of those so-called Authenticity Rules are just plain wrong either all or most of the time.

Coach does NOT line up their seams either inside or outside the bag except for the center front and center back seams and even then there are bags that don't follow that rule. And the more they try to save money by cutting production costs, the less the seams are going to line up.

Please read my Signature at the bottom of all my posts and remember it every time you come across some "Guide" that claims to be able to tell you if a Coach is real or fake by what it looks like - there are NO such rules, and never will be. And even for every Rule that Coach follows most of the time, there are always going to be exceptions.

There's nothing wrong with the bag you bought. In fact if you Search Ebay for "Coach 15146" you'll find dozens of the same style which is a very good indicator that it was recently at Coach's Factory Store outlets.

Thanks so much! :) I'm thrilled that it's real! :-)

1. Probably okay.
2. Not enough pictures of a highly faked style. Seller's first (gallery) picture is a stock photo stolen from Coach and the other pictures are too far away to see detail. There should be several additional pictures of the actual wallet.
3. Probably okay but the paper should be removed so we can see all the parts of the wallet.
4. I don't recommend iconictrends because the seller doesn't show pictures of the actual items in all of the listings. Listings only have one stolen stock photo. Seller's items are all highly faked styles and brands so there's no telling what the buyer will receive.

Item: preowned COACH 12300 White Leather Soho very nice $300
Listing number: 120695315066
Seller: treasurequeen92
Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/preowned-COACH-...WH_Handbags&hash=item1c1a005a7a#ht_3333wt_698
Comments: I already have Soho Leather Flap Bag F12300 for myself, but my 12 year daughter wanted a purse like me so I was looking on ebay and found this bag. My concern is that at first glance, it looks like my bag but closer inspection, it doesn't. The leather strap looks off, the buckle looks strange and the interior is signature fabric. My bag, which is the parchment, has solid color lining. I know the lining may not mean much but every bag I have seen like mine in parchment, all have the solid, toffee color lining. I have never seen one that had signature lining in the parchment/toffee combo. The creed patch does not say what mine says, or any of the other bags I have seen say. Mine and the others say milled cowhide but this bag says natural cowhide. Also, the leather of the bag itself looks weird. The seller has excellent feedback but if it is fake, maybe she doesn't realize? I don't know. Thanks in advance!

There's NOTHING wrong with the bag in the photo. it's NOT a style 12300, it's style 9248 which is stamped very clearly on the creed patch. It's also 4 years older than yours and made of different leather. They are 2 totally different bags and you can't ever compare bags unless they have the same style number and were made in the same plant in the same month and year.

Please, before you start thinking that something's fake, learn how to read a creed and serial number - there's plenty of information in the Answers to Authenticity Questions thread. And understand that just because a seller uses a style or serial number in their listing doesn't mean it's correct.

More confirmation that the bag is absolutely authentic.
