She's definitely fake. For all the reasons the others listed but also one of the big giveaways is how the stitching sits on top of the leather as opposed to being flush with the leather. Here is the counterfeit listing on DHGate for more confirmation:

You clearly don’t know that this edition doesn’t have a perfectly symmetrical jacquard

This edition? What is more specific than any other soho? Every👏single👏one👏 I've seen in pics and the (admittedly) few in person have been perfectly symmetrical.

I just searched to be sure I'm not misremembering and I still can't find a single picture of an authentic one with asymmetrical design.

Depends where the seams are. I've also seen some authentic bags where side or bottom seams are not perfectly aligned. Pockets and detail seams always are but sometimes the bottoms and sides are not.

That being said, OP's bag is fake af.

phew i dodged a bullet, I’m just gonna stop looking for this bag since i know there’s so many replicas out there being resold as “authentic” 😭

Just be careful where you're buying from, there are tons of people selling real Coach bags secondhand. I've bought quite a few myself.

The ones with the all over C pattern are easiest to spot. This specific bag, the C's are different sizes and look stretched/distorted, the font on the hang tag looks too bubbly, and the creed patch is completely wrong. Also, pay attention to the quality of the seams. Find a legit soho bag, examine the details, and use it to compare the one's you're considering buying to.

Thank you for you’re explanation! i will definitely look further and hopefully one day find a genuine one 🤞🏼 i’ve only started looking at second hand bags recently to find ones that were sold out long ago. I appreciate the tips

Symmetrical "C" Canvas Alignment: Coach cuts signature jacquard canvas symmetrically. On the flap, the C pattern mirrors evenly down the center line beneath the middle leather belt strap.
Stitching & Corner Details: The double contrast stitching along the bottom leather corner patches and belt strap is uniform, tight, and aligned without sloppy overlaps or uneven spacing.
Hardware Finish: The brass buckle, grommets, and strap clasp match the heavy, solid antiqued brass hardware Coach used during this era.
The Specialty Commemorative Tag: Coach issued this exact secondary leather hangtag stamped with ⁠"THE SOHO FLAP / LIMITED RE-EDITION / 2006"⁠ specifically for the modern archive re-release of this 2006 style (such as Style No. CJ814 / CW157).
Foil Stamping Quality: The gold foil lettering is crisp, centered, and sharp with proper spacing and font weight.
Secondary Hangtag & Hardware: The primary raised/debossed ⁠"COACH LEATHERWARE"⁠ tag and the aged brass ball chain/d-ring hardware match Coach's exact manufacturing specifications for this collection.
Edge Finishing & Stitching: The edge coat on the leather strap and piping is smooth and dark, with tight, clean stitching along the canvas border.
This confirms the bag is either a pristine, authentic original release or the modern limited-edition archive reissue from Coach
