I’m asking for authentication of a bag I recently purchased on Etsy. I now see the seller is on the shame list, however when I made the purchase I had no idea that fakes and so much helpful information was available. This was a one-time purchase for me, and I am hoping it may be authentic. I searched, but I did not find this exact bag here.

Item: Patricia Legacy bag
Seller was: trunkofjewels on Etsy
Comments: I didn’t see an item number on the sold listing or my receipt.

Haii, I'm really new to Coach, and saw this beautiful purse while looking for a baby pink purse on Poshmark. The seller seems reliable and the pics seemed great. Yet I wanted to double check since there's not a lot of information on the Kristin line when I did some research on it. Everything seems fine yet there are some possible red flags according to the real vs fake coach guides I've read. Such as the made in china tag being white (could be fine yet I've seen either kristin bags have a black tag??), neiher of the zippers have the ykk logo, the stitching on the back of thw coach tag seem weird which weren't noticeable in the original listing yet it could just be natural with wear??, and there's these weird orange stains that again, weren't noticeable in the original listing could just be again from wear. It also came in a white/cream dust bag which was satiny in the inside I took a pic of the logo which was on the lower right side of the bag.
If I'm too be honest I never really had nice bags growing up especially not leather yet apparently The kristin's should be calf leather and I'm not sure if this is how it should look since I never really owned anything leather before except for a vintage betsy johnson I have that might be. Sorry for rambling I'm just not too confident when it comes to buying higher end stuff sinxe I never had that growing up and even now. So buying nicer sexond hand stuff on sites like poshmark has been a dream yet my anxiety gets the best of me and I like thoroughly knowing every detail I can so I really hope it's real and it's just my nerves getting to me.

Hi All,
I’m afraid I might have jumped the gun in a live auction on Poshmark. I thought this was a vintage Metropolitan Briefcase (Style 5180), but the creed indicates it was made in China in 2008 and the Style number is 05180. Is this authentic? As always, thank you in advance!

It's authentic. The dustbag looks good too. Be careful of what you read on the Internet. Not all of it is accurate. Zipper brand doesn't matter. Coach used a lot of different zipper brands. Coach used to use brown tags inside bags but switched to white at some point.

This bag is authentic but the seller does have fakes currently listed.
I didn't go through all of them but these two are fake.

Be very careful if you want to do business with this seller.
