Please post a link to the online shop from which she bought this bag. The receipt may be authentic or it may be fake. (Receipts can be faked too.)

There are some very very close fakes of this style. Please wait for other opinions on this bag but the following are my observations. And if my suspicion is correct, this is scary.

1. The horse and carriage plaque is lower than I believe it should be
2. The lining color appears to be off
3. There's a problem with the hangtag(s)
4. The font on the creed appears to be more "squished" together than it should be

Here's a comp of the same bag, though it was made in the different month. Compare the differences.

I agree with BeenBurned, I don't think the bag your sister bought is genuine. The big problem is the placement of the Carriage emblem AND the first row of pleats. In every other bag listed for sale, the first row of pleats in the leather is under the Carriage, not above it. There is also the difference in the hangtags that BeenBurned mentioned. Even the letters in the Coach logo under the carriage are different compared to this one:

Here are the others listed for sale on Ebay - compare the details especially where the pleats in the leather begin to the one your sister bought:

Hi everyone: I just purchased this Coach bag on Etsy and wondering if you could authenticate and if you have any backround info on the Vachetta Collection. I am new to Coach but have owned several Louis Vuitton All Vachetta bags and this seems to be similar to the LV Vachetta. Many thanks!

Please authenticate: i wonder about it, she denies its fake
item: black duffel bag
item number: cant find one?
link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/23072234618...AX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_647wt_1215
seller: smiale0225
comments. I think it might be fake cuz of the serial creed (on the 'fake list) and emailed her, and here is her reply:
I CAN GUARANTEE THE BAG IS NOT FAKE, IT WAS PURCHASED IN THE LATE 80'S FOR MY GRANDMOTHER. SHE WAS THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY OWNER I AM SELLING SOME OF HER PERSONAL ITEMS.

You're welcome.

Again, I request that you please post the website where she bought her item. It'll help other buyers to know to stay away from the site.

thank you; i sent her another email, but am doubtful she will pull the bag. i reported to ebay, but wonder whether they will pull it. i;ve learned so much from you gals though, and feel good when i catch a fake, but feel bad for whoever buys it not knowing...

Maybe if everyone reports smiale0225's listing, she'll get the message. And with 83% feedback, she needs all the help she can get.

She claims the bag was purchased in the late 80s, but if the serial number were valid, it would mean that the bag wasn't made until 1994.

I have reported it. This bag is similar to what i am looking fir next, and I could have been the one buying it! Of course, I would have never bought it without posting here first...
