Please use the 'Authenticate This Coach' thread in the Coach SHOPPING Forum. Read the instructions in the first and second posts there, and at the top of every page of that thread (the one that says IMPORTANT READ ME) carefully, follow them completely and post your authentication request and the required photos and information on the most recent (last) page of posts using the POST REPLY box under the most recent posts.

We're also going to need much better photos of the creeds and serial numbers. Straight and level close-ups please so we can see and read them easily. You should be able to pull that part of the lining up and away from the bags just a bit so the photos are well lit and readable. We also require information about where you obtained or bought the bags.

Neverfull MM or LockMe Go tote?

Buy the one you prefer. As was mentioned, you can buy a bag organizer with a zip top. I know Samorga makes them. With NF, you can also zip your wallet into the interior pocket. When I travel, I do that as well as put a scarf over the opening of my bag (tucking over the contents) and connect the clasp at the top of the bag. My point is: if you prefer NF, there are ways to make it more secure. For your daily use in a busy city, it sounds like a zip top organizer could be the key. Both bags are great, and so is the Clemence wallet!

Black bag: Gucci Marmont Medium Top Handle vs Alma BB Epi vs Balenciaga Hourglass Medium

Alma BB gets my vote. It’s a classic and is so durable in the epi leather.
I know right, that's why it's on my list. I feel like a black will be one I reach to a lot so it has to be durable.
Guess the hourglass is out haha
I'll have to try the two bags on to get a better grasp

Deciding between Neverfull MM or Speedy B 25

I was like you few years ago when I had my 1st baby. I chose the Neverfull MM as it fits just enough but I wish I had gone with the Mono instead of the DE as it took me two years of constant use for the leather to soften a little.

Considering you already owned the classic speedy, it is okay to keep them away as they wouldnt be too helpful if you are carrying the baby. Even with the bandouliere strap, it will be a hassle to zip and unzip, and the leather strap may be uncomfortable if you fill the bag to the brim. Another alternative of totes would be the Goyard Artois or Longchamp Le Pliage tote that comes with a zip, if you wanted more security. The Neverfull in MM size is not too big, in my opinion, but has taller sides that allow you to put any consultation documents when going to the clinic and put a midsize thermos, milk bottles, napkin, wet wipes, facial tissue, barrier cream, etc.

The Speedy B in 25 does not fit as much with smaller opening, but once your little angel starts eating solid food (and running!), you can invest on the Speedy B. In fact, u can still use your classic speedy if you have one toddler (walking and running). If you will add more family members, a good tote is going to help as you could also pack lunch items/meals when you are out and about with your kids.

Here is wishing you a happy pregnancy and a safe delivery!

What's so special with Guess bags?

I agree with those who say that it's all about personal choice. No, not everybody needs to carry a $5,000 purse. I don't know where it is that Guess? bags are so expensive, but I live in the Great Lakes region of the United States, I've had a couple Guess? bags and I'm carrying one now. None of them were more than $100 USD at any retail place, and are far less at closeout stores like TJ Maxx, Marshall's, and Ross. While I have sympathy for those who love genuine leather (I'm a fan myself) there is a solid movement in the world today to go vegan. Fortunately, coated canvas and vegan leather are quite durable and even good looking! I don't understand why people get all excited about paying thousands for a Louis Vuitton coated canvas but turn up their noses at Guess? and Nine West, to name a couple of examples who do it well. If I can't afford to spend an outrageous amount of money on a handbag, then I'm going to take that money and make the world a better place with it. That is MY personal preference.

Are Single Flap Jumbos still in demand?

I stuff my bags and properly store it (wrapping the straps and making sure to rotate how they’re stored), so I haven’t gotten a bag organizer yet. Stuffing it seems to work just fine; however, a lightweight insert may be good to protect the leather and keep structure while in storage. Please let me know if you find a good one. I’ll do the same.

That’s a good call on waiting until after the price increase. It’s my only lambskin bag and if 11 series are hard to come by in decent condition, I don’t want to regret selling it. Decisions, decisions.

Yeah you definitely don't want seller's remorse. If you don't need the money or aren't buying a new bag soon, no harm just keeping it, the price is only going to go up.

@Op, these are the single flaps i linked someone else
