Any gathered or wrinkled leather where it shouldn't be is always a sign that something may not be right. Puckered seams mean a possible problem, and the stretch-marked or "elephant-skin" leather sometimes seen on the less-used areas of questionable leather bags often indicate a fake.

The white-ish edges along some inside seams isn't a problem though, the same thing shows up in genuine Coaches but it's very noticeable in most genuine bags. Someone who was experienced with leather manufacture posted the reason once, but I've forgotten it and didn't save a copy of it.

Thank you Hyacinth! I appreciate your expertise. It is also good to know that the whitish edges are not a problem!
:) Have a great day!

Hello, I just received a Madison Crimson Sophia #15921 that I won on ebay. I have never seen one of these in real life and was surprised that the color was so dark. I know how your monitor can make colors look different. I have wanted this bag ever since it came out and have viewed it hundreds of times at Coach's site as well as ebay and all over the net. I always thought it was more of a bright red, not this super deep red color I received. My BF commented that is looks more the color of "blood red" literally as dark as a drop of blood. Also the interior isn't a pale pink that I expected, it is more of a pinkish, coral color. The gal I bought this from has a 100% rating & high feedback number. I pretty sure it is authentic, but the color is nothing like I thought. It's so dark it almost looks brown? Coach has the new wine colors in some of the other styles and I thought to myself that they looked so close to the old crimson color. I have seen those IRL and the wine color is closer to what I expected with the exception of being a teeny hint towards pink. I wish I could include a pic but I don't know how to do that. Sorry. Here is the item # I won 190568385035. I haven't contacted her yet. I just got it last night. Since I never saw one in real life, I don't know what to say. Thanks

Comments: I am pretty sure that this is genuine because I think it is much less likely that someone would fake an MFF bag; but I always feel better after hearing your expert opinions, TIA for your help!

Looks ok to me, but the newer bags really aren't my specialty. Please wait for more and better opinions.

Looks like this seller really likes selling the Alexandra and Sophia styles... I'm going to guess the nice authenticator ladies need a close up of the creed. Good luck. :smile1:

The color appears correct as does the lining.

It would help confirm to see a picture of the creed but so far, there aren't any red flags.

Please post your authentication request only once. If it appears to have been skipped, it's because we come here as time permits and someone familiar with the bag/style/era isn't always here to respond.

This looks good compared to my black one, but I just thought I'd check with the experts to be 100% sure. Thanks as always!!!

Re-posting from a few days ago. Any opinions or concerns? Thanks!!

Sorry but I was hoping someone who owned the bag in this color might comment.

It looks okay to me but this style is/was well-faked so I'd feel more comfortable with a second opinion.
