It sounds like it might be slim satchel standard, described by @whateve for what appears to be the same style shown here and id'ed in the next post.

whateve said:
It's a slim satchel standard or large, 9430. In 1983 Coach called it standard, in 1986 they called it large.

ETA: you should definitely rehab it. I've rehabbed several of these. Don't soak the handles too long. 1/2 hour shouldn't be a problem.

You guys are da bomb thanks a ton!

The pictures you've posted show an authentic bag.

With that said, I have a couple of comments about Mercari.
1. As with Poshmark, I've reported dozens (if not hundreds) of listings of fakes and have never seen Mercari remove a listing. For that reason, I'm not a fan and wouldn't recommend the site.

2. This comment should concern you as a client/buyer/seller there. As an authenticator, I dislike that Mercari plasters "SOLD" across the listings because the orange banner and the text often cover crucial details we need to see in order to vet listings and verify authenticity.

Users should offer admin there constructive criticism and advise them that those banners aren't helpful and request a different way of showing that items are sold!

This Willis currently listed on eBay has a sketchy looking serial number: NT-4157. This SN is listed as a known fake...should I report this item?
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/223045350155
I'm very new here, not sure what the protocol is...
Thanks!

Yes, report!

If you know an item is fake, i.e., when there's a known invalid serial number, you don't need to come here to confirm. (If you aren't sure, you're welcome to post it.)

In the future, read post 1, page 1 for the requested format and info for authentication requests, including the seller's ID.

Thank you so much for the confirmation of authenticity. I too am not a huge fan of the Mercari site as it stands and will include your comments in my next user feedback submission. As for purseblogs ‘authenticate this’ blog, I can’t say enough about how valuable the service you provide is and how much I appreciate the availability of this research. You and the other authenticators on purseblog are a true national treasure! Have a great Sunday BeenBurned :-)

Got this charm keychain at gw but i have no idea how to tell if it's authentic or not. It doesnt have many coach brand cartouches. Also was in a box but no way to know if the box was original to it. 2.5 inches long.15316857697894743228977688156091.jpg 15316858366044666527313277769564.jpg 15316858473934671042073920944033.jpg
