Sorry I didn’t see this until now. The belt is no more than 3 years old. Leather looks terrific. The mechanism in the metal buckle is broken.

Yes, the hide shape has been used on hangtags for various unbranded leather bags, stamped as genuine leather, for as long as I remember and still currently, per bags I’ve seen at TJMaxx. Iirc Coach used a hide shaped hangtag supposedly for however long they did before the baseball hantag.
Sheesh, this is a "not as described" dispute waiting to happen!
Title is "restored vintage coach Leather Bag" and entire description states, "restored vintage coach Leather Bag" (same as title) without ANY disclosures of problems!
This is from the listing. Note that often, buyers shopping on their phones don't see as much detail as one sees on a computer and sometimes, not all pictures from the listing show on the app.

Exactly!If that's "restored", I'd hate to think what it looked like before.
It doesn't ring a bell, but since I don't follow Martial Arts that's not surprising. Google doesn't have anything about a Coach connection either, except for the Ebay listing and pages using "coach" as a noun rather than a corporation.
The creed stamp explains a lot, Reed Krakoff must have been a fan. If memory serves, Reed K did other very limited production items for events that he had a special interest in before he left Coach to start his own company. It's definitely genuine. If you read the seller's description you know as much as I do and probably more. "Ultra rare limited edition UFC x Coach bag designed by Reed Krakoff (former Executive Creative Director at Coach) for the launch of the 2008 book Fighter."
Here's the Ebay listing, if anyone is a serious fan with $525 US to spend.
COACH x UFC Limited Edition Tote with Wristlet Bag (#33 out of 100) | eBay
Krakoff used a combination of patent leather trim and multicolor fabric bearing the likeness of several UFC fighters who hardcore fans will instantly recognize. The bag, #33 of 100 units created, bears the serial number H0873-13423.

Thank you, Hyacinth! Coach still manages to surprise me even after all of this time. I have never seen this bag befote or even heard of this collab. Ebay is a weird place that's for sure!
@elvisfan4life Sorry to go off-topic, but I am not sure if you noticed, there is going to be a new Elvis movie coming out this summer.
It looks really good. Just thought I share since you are a big fan of his.

Can I ask a question about canvas wear and tear for anyone who has a Coach Signature bag. I’ve been away so was putting some of my bags back in the cupboard. The light caught one of the corners of my Coach Signature Central
Zip tote. I realised it’s gone completely white where the canvas is folded to create the corner. I got it out and all the corners are the same. It’s very small but I’ve seen it now. I assume the canvas is printed onto a white fabric and the pattern has worn off.
I bought the bag in late 2020 and have carried it just over 100 times (I track my usage). I don’t consider that to be a lot. I don’t baby my bags but I’m not rough with them either.
My question is should I expect this with canvas in general and Signature canvas in particular. I have more in the way of leather bags (Coach, Mulberry, Aspinals) and I certainly wouldn’t expect this to happen so quickly with leather. I think this is putting me off canvas bags which I thought meant to be long lasting.
Has anyone else had this problem?

I have had this happen on my Coach coated canvas tote too. I think you were right about the pattern is just printed over white and the pattern on the corners wear off.
I have several of these in size 17. I also have a larger one from 5 years ago however it was fabric lined. I like the newer ones that are crossgrain inside and out.
