Is this this coach swing back purse authentic? I’m questioning it due to no creed inside just a made in chine black tag on it. Please let me know. Thanks

Wait for others to chime in but, rest assured, shortly after stopping with serial numbers on the creed, Coach started again.
Coach resumed adding the stamped serial numbers on most bags in 2017.
I believe there also were a few styles between 2014 and 2017 that still had some kind of serial number, possibly some 1941 styles? Some of them had non-standard (basically made-up) serial prefixes. I stick with mostly vintage bags so I'm not sure.

The 2014-2017 serial number debacle has been discussed often, and I included a summary of the mess in the Salearea Guides posted in the Coach Shopping forum in 2018, see Post Number 15. I strongly suggest that Coach buyers and collectors read the entire thread and Bookmark it. The thread also includes the Daria48 Fake Coach Numbers List:

Now that ebay is removing the guides they've been hosting for years, those who use those guides have been forced to either save them on their computers or print them. Tonight I found that the Salearea guides (including the Hyacinth/Salearea collaboration ones) have been saved to Salearea's...

But whether it has a fully stamped creed or one of those almost impossible to find small white fabric tags near the bottom of the inside pocket, those bags should still be authenticated here before buying.

Thank you, Hyacinth. This is most helpful. As I am a new member, I’m not allowed to create a new post on Indentification until 5 days after my registration so I need to wait a little longer!Coach resumed adding the stamped serial numbers on most bags in 2017.

Remember, there's a difference between "identification" and "authentication". We don't identify a style by name unless the item has been authenticated first preferably in the Authenticate This Coach thread in the Coach Shopping forum:

There's a set of authentication requirements on the first page of that VERY long thread and additional requirements in a "READ ME" post at the top of every page. We're not going to identify anything unless we know it's genuine. Fakes don't deserve Coach names or identities, and we never want to give an item's owner a false idea of a "Coach"s value, even accidentally.
