It's a patchwork slim envelope wallet, style 40912 but I don't know the "official" name of the style.
I wasn't exactly sure where to put this since I do know that this is obviously a woven Caroline, but I was a bit curious about some differences compared to others of the same # and style. I bought this on ebay recently, and a few things I missed were the fact that there's no pleats sewn in the front or back. I know sometimes they relax, but they just weren't sewn in this one at all. Also, if you look at the close up of the chain hardware you'll see that the connecting links that were usually dark (almost black) are strangely textured silver. Is this bag just a weird anomaly? I googled quite a bit, and every other one I came up with looks like the stock photo.

Looks like Phoebe. I'm guessing large (original size) by the way it looks, but I'm not 100% sure on the size.
Hi, quinna! I'm not familiar with Carolines as I've only seen them in photos but, I saw this listing also without pleats:

Not sure about authenticity or if the listing helps but thought I'd post for you to check out.
That's actually a BIG problem. On almost every bag with a Carriage emblem, the Coach name plaque color should match the leather color. There are a few exceptions but this isn't one of them.
You probably should have posted at the Authenticate This Coach thread but let's keep it here as long as you have so many photos posted already.
Can you get a better picture of the creed and especially the serial number? If the lining can be pulled out, try to take a straight- on photo instead of an angled one. Right now the serial number isn't legible and there are other details of the creed we need to see. If we need any other photos, we'll ask after we've looked closer at the creed.
The style number looks like 19646 - hard to tell for sure from the picture - so it's not supposed to be pleated, but the other problems could be serious. The connecting links aren't supposed to be black but they should be textured and almost a gunmetal shade. You CAN'T compare it to a listing for style # 19848 because that's NOT the style number, but when comparing it to a listing for 19646 the color of the Coach plaque becomes a serious problem. Compare it to this one:

Please post a link to the Ebay auction where you bought the bag. We require that for authentications.
Any time you need identification or authentication, we need the full serial number. A clear photo of the creed and serial number would also help. And remember to post at the Authentication thread in the Coach Shopping forum for authentications.
