They both seem ok. The blue one is probably some kind of Hamptons Skinny Wristlet. I don't recognise the other one at all.
 
Thank you Hyacinth for your reply. Could the black one be the oldest, 80s may be?
I guess that in my search for unique items I am going too far, as now they can not be identified, LOL
We are missing lots of wallets and other SLGs from our photo collections. To me, it looks like it probably is from around 1998 - 2002, due to the "Coach New York" imprint.

You have to keep a few things in mind. When wallets actually made it into the catalogs, it was only a very small photo and most of the time didn't even show the inside of the wallet. Probably half of the wallet items and mini skinnies Coach made for the boutiques never made it into the catalogs at all, or even onto the website. That makes it almost impossible to ID many of them.

Some were probably made for the outlets - which means NO photos on the internet and no way to ID a style unless it actually passed through our hands, assuming we remember it or took photos of it. So please don't get your hopes up that we should be able to name them or even most of them.

As for me personally, I normally don't even save many wallet photos unless it's a style I'm thinking of buying. There are just too darn many of them and I don't feel like spending hours saving photos of them, my computer is already overloaded with photos as it is. Anyone who thinks it's fun scanning literally thousands of teeny tiny photos of wallets that all look alike from a few feet away trying to see even tinier details is welcome to try it. :whut:

Yes very understandable, I appreciate any bit of info, even when it is just the explanation of why there is no info

It's fine. Some strap rivets are like that.
 
Please help to authenticate this bag found on Poshmark. I tried to do a little research and found the same bag on Amazon, but the Coach plaque on the front appeared as the horse drawn carriage and not the oval in this listing.
Item: Coach Pocket Tote
Listing number: Poshmark does not have listing numbers
Seller:Poshmark
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/FLASH-SALE1-hour-COACH-Leather-purse-56c128d29c6fcf43d200ebd9
Comments: I purchased the bag from a seller on Poshmark and want to give it as a gift, would like to know if it is authentic first. There is a small white tag sewn into the inside pocket with the following numbers: G1580-F34497. The creed does not have the serial number embossed into it.
 
Hello Everyone & Happy Summer!

I picked this little bag up for small enchantments & was wondering if it's authentic. If so, what would the style name & number be? (There is a United States creed patch inside with no numbers, and sorry the photo is a little blurry- not much room for a pony, let alone a camera) :graucho:

It measures 8 1/4" tall x 6 1/2 wide (flat). The strap drop is 16" at the position set in the photos, zip top, front pocket & rear side zipper.

Thank You & Stay Cool!! :coolio:
