Coach Authentication

Hi.., Thanks in Advance for help.

I bought this coach from Japan. Seller confirmed authentic item.

However, how to know it's really authentic item.

** Attached pictures as below ;

The bag is an authentic Sonoma bag. 

It's a good idea to verify authenticity of all items. Japanese sellers aren't always as good at recognizing authenticity or non-authenticity with Coach items as they are with more luxury brands.

Many Thanks for replying.  It's helpful 🙂

Anyway, I am still little worried about the serial number format of this bag.

There are  only 3 Digits  -412  after  '-'  (Dash).   

I am not sure that ... actually it's correct serial number format or not.

The serial number formatting is correct for bags made prior to 1994. The are random serial numbers and don't indicate the style of the bag. (Many fakes also have invalid random serial numbers but that's not the case with your Sonoma bag. 

Without more pictures, it's hard to ID it but I think it's style 4902, Sonoma school bag in natural grain from the early 90s.
