Pls help authenticate Coach slingbag

[klva7256]

Hi again!

This sling bag has a creed patch with no code, but  with something like a bullet mark. Can this be a legit Coach? The seller said she cannot verify if authentic coz she also bought it as part of wholesale used items. Thanks in advance!

Hi, Is there a little white and/or black tag or 2 with numbers and words on the inside of this purse? Can you post a picture of that please? Thank You

This bag may not have any tags inside, if it does it will be a white one with numbers and letters, but I doubt it. I believe it is authentic, but if it does have a white tag as I mentioned, please take a picture of it. Thanks

Thank you! I will try to ask the seller to take a photo if there is any. Btw why is there a bullet mark on the creed patch? Some guides say it means a full price bag sold in the outlet.

That circle is a Bullet/target sign/bullseye: Outlet Sales/ A retail piece moved to the outlet and discounted. It actually in my opinion helps to validate its authenticity.

Hi again! 

Seller did not find a slip of style code inside the bag. If it helps, the bag measures about 8in x 8in according to the seller. And yeah I was really hoping the bag is a legit due to the bullet mark, I dont think counterfeiters would bother adding something like that 😅

The bag is style number 8A13 and is from approximately 2005. It wouldn't have a white tag. The bag is called a soho swingpack.

Note that an outlet bullet stamp doesn't necessarily mean a bag is authentic. Bullet stamps have been faked.

Yes, it may not have one. In my opinion it is authentic.

Thank you for those details. In your opinion, do you agree that it is a legit?

Absolutely! If a bag is fake, it doesn't get a name or style number!

Note that the white labels that are sometimes hidden within the bag didn't exist prior to 2013-2014 (and several years later they were eliminated) so an authentic bag made in 2005 shouldn't and wouldn't EVER have that label! There was only a small window of time during which Coach used those labels. (I would have thought that someone who considers himself/herself an expert would know that!)
