Hello! This listing does not show a serial number - does it have one, or is it fake? I can't tell if they are purposely not showing it (are those the impressions of numbers where the seller has it folded over?), or if it doesn't have one for some reason. I will ask the seller, but thought I'd post to also check. Thanks in advance!

Hi Ladies,

Can you please verify this one is authentic? Don't want to get burned again. Just an update on kitty. She was diagnosed with pancreatitis and was really bad at one point. We tracked down a homeopathic vet who whipped her up two vials of meds and it has completely reversed itself in a day. She eating well, no vomiting and no poop issues. Currently lounging on the patio in the sun!

The bag is okay but you'll have a long ride to pick it up. (The listing shows local pickup only which is probably an error. But from London, it's a long and expensive ride for a bag!)

Glad for the good news on your fur baby.

Was there an earlier style similar to Willis? I thought I remembered a purse that looked like a small briefcase with a dovel. Or it just seems that Willis has been there forever?

There's a style 9097 that several of us have and that's been talked about here and at the Vintage thread, but it's from the same time as the Willis, maybe a few years newer. Coach didn't introduce any dowel styles until around 1991 on the Barclay Tote and Beekman Brief. A few of the Willis "family" styles like Logan, Post Pouch, etc weren't introduced AFAIK until 1992. The Willis was a 1993 intro.

Sorry, I didn't mean to make it appear the Weston was authenticated when I was thanking BeenBurned for the Geometric Clutch authentication. Here is a re-post of that one:

Could you please authenticate this satchel in my possession? I am concerned about the metal zipper pull and am attaching a close up of it -- the body is silver-colored and the circular area is copper-colored, although the zipper teeth look like brass.
Measurements: 11" L x 7" H x 4" W with a 51/2" strap drop.

It's fine. I've seen this before. It's pretty common.
