Good morning all!

in need of assistance... got this from a trusted seller but I have a feeling...
Coach Mini Signature Hobo
Style #6026
12in L, 8in H, 2.5in W
Adjustable shoulder strap with 8in drop Khaki mini signature fabric
Mahogany leather trim, strap & accents
Silver hardware shows some wear
Mahogany fabric lining
Roomy interior with a zippered pocket and 2 slip pockets
Zip top closure with leather pull

My concern is the hardware is peeling and the zipper tucks in... although I recently saw another bag with a zipper like that

It seems ok to me too based on the creed. As for the hardware, Coach hardware has been made of coated rather than solid metals for a while now, and a bag that's seen heavy or daily use might show that kind of wear. I've never owned that style so I can't comment about the zipper.

Genuine but I don't know the name - Pebbled Leather Laced Duffle maybe, from 2006.

Thanks so much! Just wondering when you authenticators go out to a restaurant, mall, etc, do you see a bag at the table next to you or a woman in line in front of you and think 'theres a 5130 station bag, 2002"\, look, theres a basic bag 1989, theres a slim duffle 10398"???? You likely cannot stop authenticating or Identifying... I would imagine, LOL!

LOL!!! Yep, in fact the last time I was called for jury duty I noticed a woman with a Willis Bag, so that got a conversation going.

I tend to notice styles that I own, but most of the time I'm looking it over to see whether or not it's fake. :graucho:

Same here.

When I see a fake, I look at the person and imagine whether she knows the implications of the counterfeit trade. I wonder whether the person knows her bag is fake but I'd never say anything to her.

Is it ever awkward when you ask a total stranger for a clear view of the coach creed?!!

I haven't sunk that low yet! And I'd be too tempted to make a snide comment if it was fake.

If I know it's genuine I'll usually compliment her on her bag. With fakes I let a sneer flash over my face for a second. If it's a REALLY bad fake the sneer stays on a lot longer. :D

Hello, need your help to authenticate this bag.
Item Name : COACH Hobo Creed number E063-10030
I saw a seller in Ebay posts the Creed with different wording, but for the same style (the last 5 digits). So, I don't know which one is authentic.
