View item:
Coach Medium-Sized White Leather Purse with Silver Details

I had requested more info regarding measurements, dust bag, and shoulder strap and they didn't provide me with any info until today.

"Length: 16 inches
Depth/Height: 8 1/2 inches
Width: 4 1/2 inches
Strap Drop: 5 1/2 inches

It does not include the shoulder strap. I lost this a while ago, unfortunately. I apologize for the inconvenience. I do not have the dust bag, either. I intended on keeping the purse, and knew I wouldn't need those things, so got rid of them. Later, however, I decided to sell the purse, and therefore no longer have those items.

I have attached a photo of the logo patch on the inside. I'm not seeing a number, as it's very difficult to read. Sorry about that. "

It's fake.

During a certain period of time, Coach used hardware made by a company whose logo was an anchor. My basic bag from the same time period as yours has anchors stamped into the brass. They are tiny and hard to see if the brass is tarnished. It really makes no difference if they are there or not; it is just something those of us in the vintage club get excited about. Here is a picture. On my basic bag, they are in a different place, just above the swivel.

Cool!

Sorry about that, redo

Hey ladies I got this Alexandra off if Craig's list last week and I was pretty sure she is/was the real deal I just wanted to make sure. The leather in it is not as nice as sime of the older bags I have had, not that this is a new bag it anything, and the zippers don't run as smooth as I would expect.

So of course now I am doubting myself and my authenticating skills.
