Took a chance on this "Coach"

[coach_purse-oot]

Hello Coach Experts,

I bought this Coach Avenue without seeing a creed but lo and behold, there was no creed, metal tag, nothing. Can I return as a non-Coach?

Please wait for @fashionclubgurl to chime in.

Here's my take: 

• There are cases where hang tags (authentic ones or not) have been attached to non-Coach bags as a way to pass them off as "Coach." I don't know if this is one of those cases. 
• The pictures in the listing aren't adequate to see the details (zipper insertion details, top handle, spring lock back, etc.) to see if they're done as Coach would do.
• Is there any possible faded and flattened imprint that may have been a Coach stamp, even sans a creed?
• If (and only if) there's no other indication of "Coach" than a removable hang tag, there's no way to prove the bag is made by Coach. So if this is the final determination, I do believe it's a valid SNAD case. 

I'm really interested in how @fashionclubgurl  feels about the bag.
