Can someone look at these two when they get a chance? Thanks in advance. Also does anyone know what they were called. The first one looks like a short Willis bag to me.

Item: Coach Slim Briefcase Business Portfolio Bag Brown Leather
Listing #: 183764211905
Seller ID: jamesmst
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Slim-Briefcase-Business-Portfolio-Bag-Brown-Leather/183764211905
Comment: Would this be a large Slim Satchel, catalog number 9430? Is brown an accurate color name? Any other info greatly appreciated.

Item: COACH Poppy Pebbled Leather Perri Hippie Crossbody Bag Love Red 22421M
Listing #: 312560407699
Seller ID: valerieb3153
Link: https: https://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-Popp...ie-Crossbody-Bag-Love-Red-22421M/312560407699
Comment: Shouldn't it state where it was made? Seems to be a lot of characters in the creed. IF it's authenticate, can you provide the name, date, etc. please. Any other info greatly appreciated.

1- Yes. And here's 1981 color sample page, I refuse to speculate on colors, they change too much with time and use.

2- No, there should be a Made In tag inside somewhere. The "creed" has the right number of characters. The "serial number" has an extra digit indicating what retailer it was made for.
 
Please authenticate when convenient--thank you!
Item: Vintage Coach Black Classic Leather Crossbody Purse Handbag Turn Key
Listing number: 382890986865
Seller: adorableur
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Co...986865?hash=item592614cd71:g:LusAAOSwrqhcq2e-

It's fake. J9H- wasn't a valid serial prefix, and the strap definitely was NOT made by Coach.
I didn't see the listing that was removed but I did look at adorableur's other listings and I advise caution! High feedback or not, it's obvious she's not authenticating her items prior to listing.

She sold this fake:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Small-Vintage-Coach-Black-Classic-Leather-Crossbody-Purse-Handbag-Turn-Key-/362592539288?hash=item546c331298:g:kcgAAOSwT-Fck7-W&nma=true&si=R1KZE2gbI7%2FqXEL4yI4b6utHkH8%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
and this one:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Leather-Coach-Crossbody-Bag-Purse-Hunter-Green-/362568356052?hash=item546ac210d4:g:c6kAAOSwwmBcdvDT&nma=true&si=R1KZE2gbI7%2FqXEL4yI4b6utHkH8%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557


ETA: For the record, my records show that the seller had fakes reported in both 2015 and 2017. This isn't her first rodeo. You'd think she'd have learned.

Item Name (if you know it): Prussian Blue Rogue
Link (if available): N/A

Is there a website or online link to a listing?
Is there a creed?
Is there a made in tag?

So sorry, it looks like not all of my photos posted!

I don't have a link as it was not purchased online. I've attached photos of the creed and made in tag here.
There should be a small white label either sewn into the lining near the made in tag or more likely, buried inside the interior pocket. You might have to feel around and turn the pocket inside out to find and photograph it.

For future requests, refer to post 1, page 1 of the thread for the information and pictures we need.

I'm so sorry; thank you for your patience. I found the white tag and attached the photo of it.

1) Thank you for the color sample - who knows which "brown" the bag really is!?!?
2) I'll ck w/the seller for a photo of the "made in" tag for the 2nd bag.
Thanks for your time.
