Coach Purse Authentication

[loopylliz]

I have tried to research this but am not sure if it is fake. Any input would be much appreciated, thank you.

Authentic Duffle Sac. Made in May 1998, in Costa Rica. Color looks Mahogany. Nice bag!

Hi, I'm really sorry to have to tell you this but this bag is a Counterfeit Coach Bag.

@vintagebagbabe 

Why would you say this? 

What are your reasons for (incorrectly) believing this bag is fake? 

[loopylliz]

Now I am in a dilemma! One person says it is real and another says fake...Is there anyone else to weigh in, thanks everyone, appreciate any help.

Actually, now you have 2 saying it's authentic. 

@vintagebagbabe is wrong. 

Perhaps @fashionclubgurl will make #3 assuring you that it's genuine.

If albertabrightalberta tells you is authentic, you can take that to the bank. She is the Coach pro here.

The reason you are getting fake and real answers is that Coach bags are cheap to begin with. They were and are still kind of a fad that is fading since the early 2000's. They were easily faked and still are and sometimes it can be hard to tell in a photo of anold bag. 

Coach does not cost much. I would buy it from an actual Coach store because you have a good chance of buying a fake on any site. Is it fake, I can't tell. I would not buy it.

Please enlighten me as to which Coach store will still have a 1998 (24 year old) bag in stock.

You certainly don't have to buy it but there are plenty of authentic items available online and through various other sources and if one knows what to look for or where to get answers, they can get a gorgeous authentic bag.

Youre 100 percent wrong,  please read albertabrightalbertas posts CAREFULLY.

And please let the experienced authenticators who have given their time and expertise to this forum for more than a decade do the authenticating.

The purse in the original post is genuine.
