the creed looks good so far but without a picture of the rest of the bag, i can't authenticate it with any credibility.
Who are these "people" who claim expertise to know that the bag is fake? Please do not put faith in someone's opinion who may not be a coach expert. Your bag was made 8 years ago and even if the "expert" was a coach user back then, if they aren't familiar with that particular style, they shouldn't be offering advice.
As for coach, we don't recommend contacting them. Even with a valid serial number, the bag it's on can be fake. (counterfeiters can and do use legitimate numbers on fakes.) without seeing a bag and the details, they can't authenticate even if they know the style.
Please post a picture of the full front of the bag.
sniped by hyacinth. I didn't type fast enough!
