Comments: Please authenticate these Coach handbags. TIA :smile1:
 

The zipper pull and leather pull tab aren't right (and what color is the zipper pull, brass or silver?), the Coach logo on the creed is an older style that had just been replaced by the one with thinner lettering, and after looking at the creeds of almost a dozen other bags from the same plant, month and year none of the other creeds have the same font in either the serial number or the creed itself. The letters and numbers in yours are much wider than all the others.

The turnlock also looks crooked in your photo and looks a little lopsided in the seller's, with the pocket flap being shorter on the left side than the right although that may just be the camera angle. None of these are solid proof that it's fake but the creed and serial fonts raise serious questions. I've posted one of the "regular" H5D- creeds below for comparison.

The zipper pull is silver. The etsy listing didn't show the zipper pull, and it is what made me question the bag. I know there was alot of fake tafts. I have several Tafts that are authentic and the pulls look different. The etsy seller is new, and I wanted to be sure before I contacted the seller.
 
If someone has a moment, would it be possible to get this bag authenticated? I didn't see the auction until the last minute or I'd have asked earlier. Many thanks in advance!

Comments: I've seen this type of flap bag either with an inside slip pocket or an inside zippered pocket - are they the same style of bag in from different years or different sizes or something?

Also wanted to say how much I appreciate the lovely ladies who give their time to authenticate on this forum. You gals are awesome!
