Can you get a straight on picture of the creed and serial number please?
Are you finding these bags online? Or are you buying/finding them from thrifts?
I'm questioning whether it is style 9953 as it is listed as a Bleeker tote. It doesn't have straps that match a Helen Berg bag plus it is oval in shape. This is why I think it may be fake or did Coach ever mismark their bags.

REALLY?!?!?! Is that was a Helen's legacy looks like?

That creed is NOT from the bag shown. @sandimas is absolutely wrong about the bag without knowing where that creed came from and seeing more pictures, the bag CANNOT be authenticated.
I'd love to see the listing.

NOT a "rare mis-stamped creed bag."

VERY rare, but yes, I have a few in my files. It's more often that there are scrambled prefixes and occasional incorrect plant codes but there are even fewer with incorrect style numbers.
Thank you - just received an updated Creed and I now believe the bag is authentic.
