They're actually two slightly different styles with different strap attachments. One has a long strap that's the same width all the way through, and the other has a drawstring that becomes a strap and the two thin strings become a wide single strap. The Bag version is from around 1994 and the Sling version from around 1996-97.

Do you have any information about the coin purse pictured in the second picture? I have one like it in green. I'd love to have a style number and official name.

Comin' right up! There's actually two of them. From the 1996-97 Source Book:

You don't make it easy, do you?

It doesn't help when the pictures are out of focus and we have to flip the creed photo to read it.

I can't tell if the Coach logo is actually crooked inside the border or if that's just the lighting. We can't really see any of the hardware either, or see the shape or size of the bag. I'm reading the style number as 28251 but can't find anything under that number on Ebay, Google, or here at tPF, so I'm not going to try and authenticate it without a genuine bag to compare it to and hopefully better photos IF we can find a comparable one. If anyone else wants to take a look, feel free.

If this is an online store, what is their URL? And where are they located?

I am so sorry mam.. it is a local thrift store here in the philippines.. they sell the items online as a live video hence the screenshot.. someone else purchased it already.. thank you for your time.. sorry again

I'll chime in after the picture and posting requirements per page 1, post 1 are posted.

Yep, otherwise it's a waste of time. I can't even read the month code, it kind of looks like a K so I checked the late 2013 and early 2014 Wayback concentrating on the Madisons but there's nothing with those details, or what little of them are viewable in the photos. I'm not going to spend 2 hours looking at every month in 2013. And even if I found something that might match, it's still not going to give us a basis for comparison.

I'm sorry but if you do a search of "Philippines" and/or "Filippino sellers" you'll see a lot of posts about why we recommend not buying highly faked brands from sellers there.

While I understand wanting to support commerce in your country, some of the fakes coming out of there are very close.

Now knowing where you're located and where the item is being sold, I'm 100% certain it's fake so you dodged a bullet.
