Please authenticate. TIA. This bag is in my possession. I know it is an often faked style.

I bought one of these in the late 80s. I had forgotten all about it until I saw this photo!

Both bags are authentic. You need not post pictures of the creeds if they are visible in the listings. The Willis was made in 1998 so it won't be officially vintage until next year. The second one is a Mulberry bag #9899 from the Carriage Classics collection made around 1992.

Many thanks! I don't think I've ever used a forum with this kind of format before, so apologies for spamming you. :-)
 
Hi everyone,
I found this Coach mini borough bag in oxblood on PM. Would you be so kind to authenticate? Thank you very much!
Item: Coach mini borough bag in oxblood
Seller: uriet
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-Mini-Borough-Bag-58c1b2018f0fc43a9f00d13b
Comments: There are 2 things that I am not sure about:
1. The strap: The strap of the bag looks different from the strap of my other Coach mini borough bag (which is authentic). The hardware at the ends of the strap has a pin and the whole strap is adjustable in length. My bag has a strap where the hardware goes all the way around the strap (instead of having the pin) and the strap is not adjustable in length. I have already discussed with the seller about the strap and there is the possibility that it has been replaced. Now I am not sure if this is an original replacement strap from Coach or if it’s just a strap from ebay or similar. So does Coach’s replacement straps look different than the original straps that come with the bag? Or are they all the same straps if you get them directly from Coach?
2. The style number: The style number on PM is 32503, which is supposed to be the Coach mini borough bag in retro colorblock (that's what google told me). The style number for the Coach mini borough bag in “one colour” pebbled leather should be 28163 (that’s the number on the label of my other Coach mini borough bag in black pebbled leather).
