It's fine. It's a Sheridan Marietta drawstring.

Thanks for the super fast response!!

It's best if you just post pictures here rather than a link.

Yes I'll just post pictures. Now I already accepted the return, though I shouldn't have because they have had this bag for over a month and only now wants to return and get a refund. They said it's not authentic because the kisslocks aren't solid brass and the stitching is off.

I'm willing to comment if it's helpful to reassure a doubtful buyer.

Generally, posting your own listings is disallowed when it can be construed as promotion but if someone is questioning it, it's allowed but up to authenticators how or if they want to handle it.

Thanks @BeenBurned I just posted the pics instead of the link.

It's authentic. Of course the kisslocks aren't solid brass. Bags made during Bonnie Cashin's tenure didn't have solid brass hardware. The quality wasn't as good as in later Coach products.

It's best you accepted the return. They have at least 6 weeks on ebay and much longer on paypal to force a return. Ebay doesn't care if you can prove it is authentic. They just take the buyer's word.

That's what I thought. I dont want them to force a refund and keep my bag.

That bag is gorgeous! The buyer is giving up a HTF beauty.

Thanks so much! I thought so, but I'm not well versed in Coach VINTAGE bags, so wanted to make sure. Again, thank you kindly!

It's genuine and a Bonnie Cashin design but wasn't made while she was designing for Coach. It was probably made in the late 1970s or early 1980s. Bags made during Cashin's time with Coach shouldn't have serial numbers.

I think the style might be a number 9546 Skinny Tote. Click on the thumbnail to enlarge it.

Sorry. It was my mistake for not asking for the information.

@Alana C - especially when purchased from ebay and other online venues, seller IDs and listings give a lot of insight into history, reputation, other listings, etc. (Way too many sellers have a "habit" of mixing fakes in with their authentic items.)

I know, I just hope it comes back in the same condition I sent it out.
