This is just listed as "Coach purse". But I've only ever see this style in leather?

I have no intention on buying it, but thought I'd maybe post it in the deals thread.

Since there's no creed photo, no serial number and no way to authenticate the purse you probably shouldn't post it in the Deals thread, at least not without posting that there's no way to even know if it's authentic without more photos and recommending that it be authenticated before bidding.

And while Coach HAS made Op Art Sabrinas, I can't find another one listed in that color ATM, so I don't know if they made it in that shade of pink.

@robin0714 could you post a photo of the stitching around the end of the zippers? That stitching should be rounded on an authentic bag, in many counterfeits we have seen that stitching is squared off. That combined with the issues that Hyacinth has identified (esp. the zipper pull and leather tab on the zipper) would suggest that the bag is not authentic.

Here's a picture of the stitching around the zipper. Yep, it is squared. I compared it to one of my Taft's I already had authenticated and you can see the difference. I am contacting the Etsy seller to accept a return. I truly appreciate the authenticators for spending the time to help us newbie coach lovers. Thanks so much!

I didn't speak up earlier, but I wanted to confirm that the way the pull isn't stitched all around are things we commonly see on fakes. And you never see that kind of metal pull on a genuine Coach. On a Coach zipper pull, there is a simple ring through the zipper - it doesn't have that extra part.
