It's definitely fake. Not only shouldn't the strap ends be riveted or the strap have a brass keeper, but the top of the leather turnlock tab should be padded just like the Willis. The stitching is sloppy too, there are too many areas that look too angled : / / / / / / / / / /

BTW, DID ANYONE NOTICE THAT THE "a" ON THE HANGTAG IS UPSIDE DOWN ??? :graucho:

Hi Guys, this is my first authentication request, so I'm not sure if I'm posting this correctly....please let me know if I need to add anything else. I'm hoping the link will show all pics from Seller -- she has great reviews and I LOVE this cosmetic bag, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

TIA!

You did pretty good. We like to see the name of the seller, kathryns-mom too, so it will show up in future searches of the forum, as well as the item number and item name, in case the link doesn't work. The cosmetic bag is authentic. It is actually from the 90s or early 2000s, not the 80s as the seller claims. It came in 3 sizes; this is either the medium or large.
Note the seller has a 10 day handling time.

Thx so much, @whateve!

I'll be sure to add the other required info. in the future -- i thought the link would cover it all. Shall I retype the request so that you have enough info for future searches? It's no problem for me, LMK.

I'm really tempted to buy it -- thx for alerting me to the handling time...gives new difinition to SLO-MO, huh?

I wish Coach would make more of these stunning cosmetic bags...do you like this one?

You're welcome. You don't need to retype your request. That would just confuse things. I put the seller name in my response so it is covered. I had one of these; brand new still in the box, and I couldn't bring myself to use it! I never actually tried my stuff inside. I have a few 80s styles, one that is still brand new in the box, and two that are really pretty unusual colors, and I can't bring myself to use them either. I really like the domed shape. I have one that is very similar to the one in the listing, except the upper part of it is made of wool. I used to use it quite a bit, but lately I've been using my Snoopy pencil case as a cosmetic case.
