Coach flap bag No. 0974-534

Researching a purse I've had for so long I can't remember where I got it and discovered a Coach stamp inside (see pix) with the No. 0974-534 which, according to Ebay, is probably fake:  "0974-534 - has shown up on several counterfeit Willis Bags and fakes of other classic leather styles. Any creed stamp with this number is probably fake and needs to be looked at very closely by an expert on older Coaches".  Can I get a verification on this based on my pictures please?  It's leather, suede on inside18983126_313002639142937_658046462_n.jpg18983313_313001779143023_2012649421_n.jpg18944592_313001989143002_351849990_n.jpgflap and brass fixtures.  Thank you!

I'm sorry but there's no question that any bag with that serial number is fake. (And that number is one of many commonly seen invalid serial numbers.)
There are other problems with the bag as well as the creed. Did you notice that "markings" is misspelled as marXings?

And there are at least 3 more details just in those photos BESIDES the serial number and the really SLOPPY stamping of the creed stamp itself that prove that its fake.

 

The number and the quote mentioned is from one of the Daria48 Fake Coach Serial Number Guides posted at Ebay. The three Guides are accurate and list many but not all of the commonly used numbers found in fakes. Any one who buys and sells Coach needs to keep those lists handy for reference and use them

Really? 

The bag was already identified as fake by one of the most knowledgable COACH experts on this board!

This bag is NOT an outlet bag.

Youre WRONG, as several other members have already pointed out.

 

Just to point out the obvious - not only does the purse in question have several details that are NEVER found in genuine Coaches, but theres nothing at all in any of those photos that indicate it came from or through an outlet store.

 

As weve said so many times here - in matters of authenticity, LEAVE THE OPINIONS TO THE EXPERTS.

Absolutely fake, and looks to be plastic, not leather, from the embossing and weird suede lining.

Yes, just pointing out that it also does not even appear to be leather.
