Evidence

POSITIVE
  • —
NEGATIVE
  • photo 1: Bag is constructed from rows of glossy coiled cord or beads in brown, tan, and cream, rather than Coach's characteristic leather or signature canvas.
  • photo 1: No Coach wordmark, horse-and-carriage, creed patch, or recognizable Coach hardware is visible.
  • photos 2 and 7: Closure and strap attachments appear textile-based with small generic metal clips; no Coach turnlock is visible.
  • photo 4: The interior and top opening show textile construction and no visible Coach identifier.
  • photo 1: entire bag body and strap made of coiled plastic telephone cords in brown/tan, not leather
  • photo 1: no glove-tanned leather, no solid brass hardware, no turnlock, no hangtag, no creed patch
  • photo 4: bottom view shows fabric backing with plastic coils stitched on, not Coach unlined suede construction
  • photo 5: strap attachment is knotted cord with small wire hook, not Coach brass dogleash/lobster clips or buckle-adjustable leather strap
  • no COACH wordmark or horse-and-carriage visible in any photo
MISSING INFORMATION
  • photo 1: Bottom and all corners are not shown clearly.
  • photos 1-7: No full interior-empty view or close-up of any interior label is provided.
  • photos 1-7: No dimensions or scale reference are provided.
  • photos 1-7: Construction materials and closure mechanism should be confirmed by the seller.
  • interior views not shown but irrelevant to Coach determination given exterior material
  • no creed patch visible - none expected on this construction
  • no maker mark visible
AUTHENTICITY CONCERNS
  • ⚠ photos 1-7: The cord/beaded artisan construction is inconsistent with the leather handbag construction of vintage Coach classics; it appears to be a non-Coach artisan or novelty bag.
