The first one looks genuine, but it's a Carrier Bag, style 9800, not a Musette Bag. The Musette isn't as wide and doesn't have an open outside back pocket. This one was probably made around 1990-1992.

You probably won't find information on the colors online. The public internet and personal computers were between 5 and 15 years in the future during the time this style was being made, so it would be nearly impossible to find that information on the internet. Except at tPF, maybe, and then only in vintage bag discussions. This one is probably from the early 1980s so I doubt if it's actually a true Purple (my guess is Burgundy).

Maybe WHATEVE can answer your color question, and can also point you in the right direction for cleaning, repair and rehab advice. The bag is genuine. And that particular example may be a Cashin design but probably wasn't made until at least several years, maybe as much as a decade, after she stopped designing for Coach.

The color looks very similar to my burgundy basic bag.

When you get it, post pictures in the rehab thread. There are several ways you can fix those holes, some easier than others.

Comment: I won these and think they look OK even though the creed of the Shoulder Sac is blurry?

I think they look okay too. When you get them, you can post clearer pictures if you're worried. I wonder if it has one or two rivets. That is the color I would have loved to find.

Can you confirm that this is fake for me? My friend bought this and I think it is fake. If it is can you please report it? Thank you :)

It's fake. Next time, have items authenticated before bidding.

The seller, regevans appears to have been to Canal Street! In addition to the fake your friend won, there are other fakes in her completed listings.
