Sorry. It's fake.
If you can return for a refund, do so.

If you're getting your information from random online "authenticity guides," be forewarned that there's a lot of misinformation out there. There's NO RULE about stitch count!
I'm kind of shocked at your attack on one of the best Coach experts around!
When people come to the boards, they are looking for useful and accurate information. In many cases, considerable amounts of money are at stake, often in the thousands of dollars.
In this case, the rant was toward the "authenticity" guide and not toward the poster. We all realize he was trying to help and in this case, while his advice was accurate (in that the bag is fake and he called it as such), there have been cases where unknowing posters have deemed authentic items as fake (based on the misinformation in the same guide) or other fakes as authentic, also based on misinformation.
We don't want to see you, @jibr-3026, find your account suspended because you tried to list a fake that a "helpful" poster on a discussion board deemed as authentic when in fact it was counterfeit. (And we've seen it happen many times!)
Yes, as you said, we were all newbies one time and we had to work hard to learn. But as we were learning, we tried not to hurt others financially by posting arbitrary guides that we weren't skilled enough to recognize as accurate or not.
And believe me when I say that when I started buying and selling, I had no clue of the extent of the counterfeit trade nor the amount of outdated, incomplete and/or inaccurate info out there.
But we learn and try to educate others by calling out the bad guides.
Please reread Fashionclubgurl's post to see that she wasn't attacking the poster but merely pointing out the danger in his posts because of the bad guide he used as a reference.
