This bag from seller designerheavenplustjbs is a great example of why a valid and correct-for-the-bag style/serial number does NOT indicate an authentic bag.
The bag is a fake soho mini sig hobo, but does match 6351 as indicated on the creed. However, the prefix indicates a bag made in 1994 -- 6 years before Coach made signature bags.
