No, the Gramercy came after the time period I specified, which was from the end of the Cashin Era (1974) to the early 1990s and the introduction of the Sheridans (1992). The Gramercys came out in late 1999, and several styles including the ones I already mentioned plus the Hudsons, 1997 Manhattan Collection, Flatiron collection and several others from between 1995 and 1998 had linings several years before the Gramercys.

Ah I was just thinking of what style had lining. I missed the keyword lightweights.
 
Hi everyone! Thank you so much for authenticating a bag for me last week. Unfortunately, the seller isn't replying about shipping to my country, so I picked a new one I like.
Do you think this (in Cloud) is authentic?

Item: New Coach F34823 Mae Crossbody Pebble Leather Bag

I'm not comfortable with the seller for a couple of reasons.

1. In this post, I commented on the seller, her pictures (or lack thereof) and the questionable (at best) serial number in a bag being authenticated. I believe the bag being questioned was fake.

2. Combine the probably-fake bag from June 2018 with the fact that the current listing (you're asking about) shows that she's already sold 109 of that bag (in various colors) raises red flags in my mind.

I can't imagine any Coach outlet allowing someone to buy in those quantities.

Other opinions are welcome.

Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a detailed reply!
What you're saying makes a lot of sense.

I actually just happened to pass by a famous second hand store in my city and found a mint/aquamarine Coach bag for slightly over 100$ (rough conversion from yen) and bought it.
 
Hello authenticators,
