Hi there,
Please authenticate the following bag:

I'm trying to find out about the hangtag. Thanks!

The bag is genuine. I don't see any hangtag so it's probably missing.

Along with the unknown string-thing Whateve mentioned there's also some kind of crud, maybe plastic or paper, caught under the metal tongue of the buckle. And one of the strap mounting rings is twisted 90 degrees. Assuming they aren't actually indicators of other problems the seller should check and correct details like these before taking their photos.

Thanks Whateve and Hyacinth for your quick responses. If you can authenticate one more when you can?https://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-9938-Black-Leather-Small-Shoulder-Bag/232555269817

Again, I trying to find out about the hangtag. I appreciate all your great advice.
It's fine. Generally if the hangtag isn't shown, it probably isn't included, especially from a place like Goodwill. You can probably get a replacement from Coach, as long as you don't tell them you bought the bag second hand.
 
I missed that too.

@alexandria tale - May I ask what country you're in? The reason I ask is that you referred to coachoutlet.com and I was/am unfamiliar with that site.

Here in the US, the official outlet online site is coachfactory.com. (Generally, we've been under the impression that any other sites with "Coach" in the same (with the exception of Coach.com and coachfactory.com) were sites that sell fakes.

However I did a whois lookup for both coachoutlet and coachfactory and both registrants seem to be Coach. It looks like coachoutlet is an international outlet site.

Both use the same registrant information and address and both have contact email addresses that are @coach.com.
https://www.whois.com/whois/coachoutlet.com
and
https://www.whois.com/whois/coachfactory.com
I'm from Indonesia and yes, coachoutlet.com is the new site of coachfactory [emoji4]

Good evening Authenticators! I am unable to identify the attached purse and would appreciate your expertise. The expandable front pocket is throwing me off for identification purposes. Please advise.

It's authentic. For IDing, we need measurements for bags that don't have the style number in the creed. It could be a compartment bag #9850.

The bag is authentic. Please remember, with pre-1994 styles we need to see all the pockets and we especially need measurements. If it has an outside back pocket and measures about 9x6x2 inches it's a Compartment Bag 9850 from the late 1980s.
 
I will make sure that I provide measurements and additional photos next time. I understand how that would of course assist in the identification of the bag. I apologize. Those measurements that you provided are the measurements for this bag. Thank you for helping me identify the bag. :-).
Enjoy the rest of your evening!
