The bag you're asking about is one of the best and most commonly faked styles and very difficult to authenticate. In the last 10 years, I think I may have seen a handful of authentic style 1443. All others have been fake.
I'm not able to authenticate this bag. Perhaps someone else might know whether your bag is genuine.
sorry i forgot to mention that this bag was a gift from my cousin i did not have the courage to ask her regarding its authenticity that is why i am posting it here hoping that somebody could help me. thank you for your time anyway.

As BeenBurned said, that style was faked in huge numbers. One thing I'm seeing on yours though leads me to think it's counterfeit. If you were thinking of selling it, please don't. The creed patch is not sewn as it should be. In fact the stitching on most of the bag is uneven and of poor quality.
This is what a genuine creed for that style should look like:

Hello!
Please help me authenticate this.
It's not on an auction site.
It's a friend's acquaintance selling me the bag.
It's pixelated cause it's the seller's email and she refused to let me post the pictures up with her email displayed on it.
I don't know what other pictures you need but hopefully these will help (:
Thank you in advance (:

It doesn't look right to me. The C's are off, the clasp looks wrong for a Kristin, and when I Googled that style number the only place I could find it was on a bunch of sites that sell fakes. I believe it is a fake, but wait for BeenBurned and Hyacinth to respond as they are the true experts.

COACH $328 Khaki Brown Signature Shoulder Tote 2156 EUC
seller: postalconnect213
listing: 250801375485
Coach has used a wide variety of leathers with different textures on their bags. The incomplete listings may be "placeholders" posted during some kind of special price deal by Ebay but I don't know if something like that was happening recently.
One thing worries me about the bag though, the plant code doesn't fit the creed statement. It may just be a mistake but I'm definitely going to look at those other listings. Do any sellers know if there's been a recent deal on listings especially under $50?
Hi Hyacinth. I was wondering if you were able to check the carly bag yet. I have already received the bag and would like to take any action if necessary. Thanks in advance.

I don't have this bag to compare but I don't see anything that indicates fake and the clasp looks okay to me.
As for googling, please be careful with the information you find in a search. If a style is popular, it's going to be copied and therefore, fake-selling sites will come up in searches.
Please wait for other opinions. Maybe someone who has the bag will compare and chime in.
I do not have this bag but did want to mention there were recently a bunch of this style at my outlets in a khaki/off white color that were called a Kristin Crossbody(I think) and this looks just like it so the style does exist and has recently been at the outlets.
I should have been clearer. Style 14902 DOES exist and it's not just on fake-selling sites.
I understood that. Obviously it's not just on fake sites since it has been seen at the outlets by others too and not just me. I just meant that it has recently been in outlets and was part of the older Kristin line so it would have been on the Coach site up until the new Kristins came out. Just wanted to say while I don't have the bag, I have seen it in person in a different color combination.
It supposedly wasn't very popular at all so since I had actually seen it in person, just wanted to try to help.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated. I was just clarifying that the style exists.
However, this bag, 14902 is a MFF (made for factory) bag and therefore wouldn't have been on the Coach website.
Coach makes some bags specifically for sale at their outlets and those items have different style numbers from what appears to be the identical style that would have been at the boutique. The "F" in front of the style number on the creed indicates that it's MFF.
Please do feel free to chime in anytime because all offers of help are welcome.
Sorry, which Carly bag are you asking about? If you mean the bag in your first post, which isn't a Carly, BeenBurned already authenticated it.
There are also two others for sale on Ebay and I haven't been able to spot any real differences other than the texture and color of the hardware. The Cs look identical, and without knowing whether or not that style also was available with brass hardware, the hardware color isn't a factor. Did you check Ebay before you checked Google? Maybe you coulod check those two and explain where the differences are?

Hi Hyacinth. From both of your responses I was not clear as to whether on not either of you thought that it was authentic.
What is the name of this line?
Thanks again for all of your time and help.
