Dear authenticators,

Could you please take a look at this bag? https://www.ebay.com/itm/232672831316 ? Just got it and having some doubts, mainly because of the leather, it’s pebbled, not smooth, especially on the sides. I have some other legacy archival bags (same two tone or color block), and the leather there is very different. Here are my pictures. The stitching on the side is also less than ideal. There are no tags of any sorts. Thanks!

The creed picture isn't clear. I don't see any problems. When you get it, you can post a clearer picture of the creed for confirmation.
Hello again, I have the bag and this is the best I could do with the creed - the style number is F5D-9951 which is very very faint. Hopefully this helps. IMG_3810.JPG

Hello ladies, Could you tell me if this is an authentic coach patricia? It was an impulse purchase (because - british tan patricia) and I know that Patricias are often faked. Thank you so much in advance.

Looking for opinions on this one please. I have concerns.

I don't think I've ever seen one with an indented turnlock plate before. Has anyone else?
I haven't seen in the indented plates either. That is only one of the things that made me question it.

Other details are the sloppy trim and stitching on the bottom back, the lack of the "Coach" imprint on the back, the chain is twisted rather than regular links and the front of the female turnlock is larger than I think it should be.

You're probably right.

Things like stitching on such a small item don't bother me too much, it can't be easy to sew multiple layers of leather on something so small. But a turnlock that Coach doesn't seem to have used before is a bigger problem, although I can think of a valid reason for that too. And if I can think of valid reasons for discrepancies, I'd sooner err on the side of caution and not report something. There have been a few items where nothing on them matched Coach's usual details and yet they turned out to be genuine.

Hello. I’m trying to see if my bag can get authenticated.

Item: Coach 57842 drawstring carryall Brown Black bag.
Seller: Overtock.com marketplace

I don’t have the link but the website still has the listing so it could easily be looked for. I am adding as many pictures as I can. I have 30 days to return it if it’s a fake. Any other image needed please let me know.
