Hi, I would appreciate any help in authenticating this Pelham Zip (apologies for picture quality):

It looks fine, made in 1994.

Genuine, but it's a Monterey Hobo, style 4027 from around 1992-93. The Halsey measures only 10x7x3. Here's a thumbnail of a catalog page from Fall 1992 showing both

Thank you so much for the picture! I really appreciate it.

Thanks @whateve.

Actually, I'm Hyacinth, but no matter.

Fantastic, thank you for such a fast reply! I was a bit worried because the font on the creed looked a tiny bit thinner than the example of an authentic bag posted here a while ago and the text looks different. So happy I've discovered this blog!

Bumping as this ends in a couple of days and I’m planning on bidding so would really appreciate an opinion, thanks in advance!

Does anyone know anything about what this seller claims is an early Bonnie Cashin for Coach bag? I adore BC and very much want to own one of her designs:

Thanks so much in advance for helping with your time and expertise!!

It's authentic. The seller seems to be knowledgeable. I agree with what she says about the bag. It was probably made for Coach. In the early days of designing for Coach, they put her label on it, and didn't start putting the Coach label on later. The stripes don't have the black lines so it is an earlier design, early to mid 60s. I don't think it was called a attachette, as I believe that one had a kisslock pocket on the exterior. I do think it was called a small shopper.

Hello authenticators! As time allows, please take a look at the following:

Comments: Curious as to the style name for this bag. And also, is Buttercream the correct color name for this? In my amateur research, the lightest color I found for this style is Camel.

Hello, this is a bag in my possession that I purchased from a thrift store. I’m hoping it’s an authentic Madison Satchel. Dimensions are roughly 12w x 7.5h x 5d.

It looks good. It's a Madison satchel large. Looks like it is missing the strap.

It's authentic. It was called Sonoma pocket shopper natural grain. There was a buff and a parchment color. I don't remember seeing a buttercream for Sonomas. There was a butter for Madisons.

I'm seeing $46.35 for shipping (seller in PA, I'm in CA). IMHO that is excessive.

Me too! I'm sure this would fit in a large flat rate box.

Thanks so much, whateve! It is missing the strap, which is a bummer, but I love this shape so much and the price was great so I went for it.

I'm seeing $15.31 Expedited Shipping. I'm in Massachusetts. But the cross-country shipping IS definitely excessive because it doesn't require an oversized box.

If you're interested in buying, ask the seller to recalculate shipping and the package size.

I've looked up the code of this wallet and it seems authentic based on Google images. Am I missing anything?
