I picked this up at a local thrift store. I am not familiar with this style so wanted to check if it’s authentic.

Measurements are 11” wide x 8” high x 3” deep. It has a slip pocket on the front and the back. Let me know if other pictures would be helpful. Thank you!

It's fine. It is a camera bag 4012 from the Lightweights collection from around 1990.
 
It seems okay so far but we need to see a full picture of the bag.

Since I have exactly the same bag just in different colors, I'll take the plunge and say it's authentic without waiting for a full outside pic. Genuine Signature Small Messenger made for the outlets in 2012.

It has a TON of pockets too, 4 outside and 4 inside - we LOVES pocketssesss, Preciousss !!!

Nice bag! :yes:

Again I hope I am doing this correctly. I have acquired a Coach purse and was just curious if it is authentic. I’m sorry if I have done this wrong again, but I’m not seeing any place else to click to ask a question.
