1- genuine
2- probably a Classic Pouch, style 9170, from the 1970s.
3- genuine
4- Companion Bag, style 9300, from the 1980s
5- Legacy Leather Hobo, 2002. Many older bags as well as newer ones had "plastic" - actually nylon - zippers not just on the inside pockets but sometimes as the main zipper too.

Can you post a photo of the actual creed patch and serial number? We need to actually be able to READ the creed to authenticate it. The serial number as you posted it isn't valid and that number is often used in fakes. What I'm seeing of that bag does NOT look good and doesn't match the serial number.

The stitching especially on the leather trim and the handles is an absolute mess, just look at the last photo. You would NEVER see such sloppy workmanship on a genuine Coach.

This picture of the "other" side of the bag shows that the C fabric is seriously lopsided.

Is this bag yours or is it listed somewhere for sale?

It is mine, I bought it today, it's a second-hand bag...I didn't know how to recognise coach's bags... :/
Does this model even exsist?

Sorry, it's fake. The creed is stamped crooked and not stitched correctly, the other details I mentioned before are wrong too especially the style number, 1444. That number only belongs to a Mini Signature Pocket Flap bag like the one below. The word "enOuring" has an O instead of a D.

Take it back to wherever you bought it and demand a full refund. If you bought it on a site like Ebay you can file a claim and get your money back.

Coach bags are highly faked just like most other popular handbags. You should always have them authenticated here before you bid or buy.

Thank you very much for your help! Can you tell me if Coach has realized a bag like the one I posted you (identical)? I'd like to see the differences on a real bag. I understood what you wrote, but I'm not familiar to coach bag and I'd like to learn something more, just to be sure I wont buy other fake bags!!

No, that style doesn't look familiar. A lot of fakes are just a jumble of differerent details from different styles. There's no way to tell what they were trying to copy.

If you like the style but want a real one with similar details, try doing an Ebay search using the words "Coach signature satchel". You'll probably get hundreds of listings in all different sizes and colors but at least there's a good chance most of them are genuine, and you can post the Ebay link here to get the bag authenticated.

Do NOT try to sell or donate the fake. Selling fakes is against federal law, and donating them just keeps them in circulation so someone else eventaully gets cheated too.
