Mini Signature Business Satchel
The counterfeit version of that style 1443 was one of the closest "Coach" fakes ever to hit the market. Yours has one small problem that makes me worry just a bit about whether it's genuine, so anyone else is asked to add their thoughts especially if they own what's absolutely and proveably the genuine version (or photos of it) bought directly from Coach.
The creed stitching isn't as straight as it should be, but the rest of the creed is a very very close match. That sometimes happened with stitching especially in the Chinese plants so it's not a major problem, but I only have a few photos of a genuine Sig Small Gallery Tote to compare it to and other opinions would help. I usually assume all these are fake until proven otherwise. The color of the suede also seems a little lighter than I remember.
I don't think your bag is authentic.
AFAIK, the straps aren't patent; they should be suede.
I believe this to be an authentic version of the same color as you have:

And another I believe is authentic in a different color, but also with suede straps.

ETA: I think there are quite a few fakes that also have suede straps, making authentication even more difficult.
Actually, I switched the straps when I got it, they are suede on the other side, should they be suede on both sides? Let me take another picture and show you what I mean (I liked the look better, the contrast.)
I have a little pre-creed olive-green suede gem that needs a name. She is about 8.75" wide, 5" high and 1.5" deep:
Thanks everyone!
Thanks everyone!
The genuine one that I have pictures of by a highly trusted seller also looks like it has patent backing on the suede straps, so I think those are ok. I'm not familiar enough with the colors to know if that shade had a darker color of patent on the straps but it looks like the one in the photo below might have.
