I don't have a lot of information . I am buying this from a consignment group I belong too. Sellers says authentic coach bag that is about 13 inches wide and 10 inches high. She is selling both bag and wallet for $40.. She told me the serial was Do5k-2173.

I have been searching for this bag on the internet all morning just to see it and compare it.It looks like it has two side pockets which I cannot find a purse with that anywhere. I am pretty sure it is an "optic" bag because of the design. Thank you so much if anyone can direct me the right way..
Sorry new to this..was trying to edit to say ..I think it's a Chelsea optic but is it authentic?

Yes, it's a genuine Chelsea Signature Optic Large Hobo from 2005. The wallet is genuine too. Nice find! I have the same bags in the blue and the black patterns, you're lucky to find a tan one in good condition. Check the bottom corners for excess wear.

Coach's photo is below - please don't depend on the Internet to prove something's authentic.

Please help me to authenticate this vintage coach bag

Good thing you checked here, but if you're the buyer you should have asked before you bought it. Any styles with serial numbers starting with J4D- or J8H- or J8Y- should always be authenticated. On this one the details of the bag itself are very close but the serial number is wrong, style # 4161 belongs to a much larger Soho Hobo. Not only is this a totally different style, but it's not from the Soho line either. Fake, sorry.

If all the information provided is accurate, the bag is a fake!

Coach didn't make fabric bags in 1996.

Style number 4153 is for an all leather bag from the Lightweight line.

The same Etsy seller has another fake Coach with the same bogus style number.

Also, I believe the person asking the question is the Seller.
 
Please help, thanks as always!

Hi,
Could someone please take a minute to authenticate this for me?

There may be a color difference between the creed pic and the others because I had to have my daughter use her phone since I couldn't get a picture using mine.

Thanks in advance.
