Help, please! I came across this bag on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/131279510810
I asked the seller for a photo of the creed. The seller said that the bag doesn't have a creed because it is too small. Does anyone know which bag this is, and if that story is legit? Thanks! :kiss:

The seller is correct. Some smaller items don't have creeds. I don't see any problems with the bag. It was part of the Chelsea collection in 2011, I think. I don't remember the exact name or style number. More opinions are welcome.

The pocket looks fine. An N factory code wouldn't be good. If you can do the powder trick to show it better, I'd like to see that. I don't see any problems with the bag so if the factory code checks out, the bag is probably authentic.

It's a "D". (How bad of a guesser am I? Geez!) It is still swollen and damp but you can see it a little better now. Pictures still aren't showing up that well but I can see it with my naked eye now. Is "D" okay?

Thank you! I'm a newbie to Coach, and I was under the (quite probably mistaken) impression that bags that are too small for creeds usually don't have handles. For example, I've got wallets and a cosmetic bag with no creeds, but nothing that looks as finished as the bag in the listing. Thanks again!

Wherever you heard that, it's wrong. Plenty of handle styles such as Top Handle Pouches don't have creeds. It's entirely Coach's decision and they never share why some do and some don't. Always ask here for authentication if you're not sure. There have also been a lot of recent "Mini" styles that are downsized versions of full-size bags and many of them don't have creeds. Styles with "Crossbody" in their official style name often don't have them either.

Although this bag looks larger than some of what Coach considers to be smaller "accessories" items, there are items with handles and straps, among them, wristlets and top handle pouches."

Keep in mind also that in Coach's keeping with its "the most consistent thing is its inconsistency," some wristlets, pouches, wallets and other items might or might not have creeds. Those with creeds may or may not have serial numbers.

ETA: And yet again, Hyacinth typed more quickly than I.
