Wanted to make sure this one is good, it looks real but the creed almost looks "too" perfect lol. Like brand new! And do you know what the color would be? I'm thinking khaki/saddle.

The bag is fine. That's what the creed should look like. I'm not sure what you mean by "too perfect," but the lining and corners look like someone took very good care of it.

Thanks! I meant that because the leather looks brand new like they just got it from the store and tried to sell it.

It's possible it wasn't used much and just sat in someone's closet. (The bag was made in 2007 so unless it was returned to a store after 5-6 years, it's unlikely that it was just purchased.)

Knock-off? I'm thinking the interior creed schould be brown (not red), and the exterior creed looks like it has melted from the way it was made.

Thank you.

The outside creed is also missing the word "and" between "craftsmanship" and "attention". The stitching around it is bad too. The inside creed does have the correct wording but some of the stitching details around it are wrong. And the hangtag stitching and details are an unholy mess.

I'm not completely sure it's fake unless someone else wants to confirm, but even if it turned out to be real those sloppy details would bug me too much to use it. I don't know how close it is to Coach's own website photo but the proportions of the bag, outside creed and and straps look a bit "off" too. Compare it to this listing:

The spacing on the words on the outside creed is bad too. The hangtag looks wrong.
Here is an authentic one, same month and factory. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Black...984?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item19db96e9e8
Inside creed is tan.

It's fake.

1. Signature fabric is sideways on the inner pocket
2. As pointed out, front patch is awful
3. Creed is sloppy and wrong color
4. Hangtag is uneven and sloppily stitched

Here's an authentic one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Black...984?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item19db96e9e8

and another
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-5078-Nylon-Leather-Trim-Black-Brown-Tote-Handbag-Purse-/400455605428?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item5d3d039cb4&nma=true&si=pAaHM3v5J%252FWR08N6TIZdc1lMog8%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

This one wasn't made at the same time as the other but the front patch is very clear and the difference in qualtiy, shown in the comps below is obvious:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-L2K-5...264?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item20d0bc1000





This comp is from the bag with the same month and plant code as the fake but the picture and quality of stitching aren't as good as that above:

Comps:



And while searching for my comps, I found this listing, sold to a winning bidder and it's fake too. The fakers must not know which direction the siggy pattern goes.

Yep, if they're not actually fakes, they're incredibly badly made. And it seems like they all have different mistakes. :wondering
