[mangymitchsjunkhouse]

Recently picked up this 90s coach slim duffle crossbody coach 9816. Made in the USA. The color is dark navy. Iit looks authentic to me but I am not an expert. It was recently flagged and removed. Please help me understand why, thank you!

: It's Fake. The 'J8Y' is a tell tale Sign. 'Y' is not a USA Factory Code,. "Y' was only used by China.

Unfortunately, it's fake.  The uneven stitching, the highly-noticeable seams and the prefix on the creed give it away. Coach had impeccable stitching and hardly noticeable seams. A creed on a Coach bag with the prefix of J8Y is always fake. Sorry!😕
