Evidence

POSITIVE
  • photo 1: clearly a handbag with a flap, central clasp, and chain shoulder strap
  • photo 3: interior plaque visibly reads "GENUINE CROCODILE"
NEGATIVE
  • photo 1: exotic crocodile construction and prominent chain strap do not resemble the documented vintage Coach glove-tanned leather classic construction
  • photo 1: central clasp is a round decorative medallion rather than a typical Coach turnlock
  • photo 1: no visible Coach wordmark, horse-and-carriage, or Coach hangtag
  • photo 2: back exterior shows no visible Coach branding or creed
  • photo 3: interior shows a generic "GENUINE CROCODILE" plaque rather than a Coach creed or wordmark
  • photo 4: lining and construction appear generic and no Coach identifier is visible
MISSING INFORMATION
  • straight-on photograph of the entire interior, including all pockets and seams
  • close-up of any interior or exterior labels other than the crocodile plaque
  • close-up of the clasp, chain attachments, and zipper hardware
  • bottom, side, and corner photographs
  • seller-stated dimensions and any country-of-origin markings
AUTHENTICITY CONCERNS
  • ⚠ photo 1: the decorative clasp, chain construction, and crocodile exterior are inconsistent with the usual vintage Coach classic profile
  • ⚠ photo 3: the visible crocodile plaque identifies material but does not provide evidence of Coach manufacture
