Those 2 Willises look okay but there are a couple of bothersome details on this listing.

It's authentic. Thin ink lines can sometimes be removed or lightened. Ink blots like that never go away, in my experience. If the bag is dunked, they can spread. You could check with the rehab club for suggestions.

Fake. Not just the turnlock, but the corners of the Coach cartouche aren't the same shape on each corner. The genuine 7171 Turnlock Case had the logo stamped under the flap and had a suede-lined slip pocket under the flap behind the zip pocket. The red one below is genuine. The catalog pic also doesn't show any logo stamped on the front of the case.

Fake logo & cartouche:

I think it is fake.

Thank you @BeenBurned @whateve
What about the same seller's kisslock coin purse?

Even if the kiss lock coin purse is authentic, I hesitate to recommend or promote sellers who don’t do their homework when it comes to verifying authenticity because sellers who mix can be more dangerous than sellers who sell all fakes.

Hi , I hope my format is correct and would like to seek your assistance in authenticating this item if you have time. I am sorry if I have not done up the format correctly.
Item: I don’t know the name
Listing number: N/A
Seller: thrift store in Bangkok, Thailand
Link: N/A
Comments: purchased this item in a thrift store in Bangkok. I could not find any model to this online using the serial number.

I have included images of this bag. Once again, thank you for your kind assistance in advance.

Hi Eve, sorry to start a new entry after you have responded. I am curious if this is considered as a men’s clutch? Thanks

Coach's name for style number 99719971_Mens Turnlock Clutch_Spr1995.jpg in their catalog was "Mens Turnlock Clutch". That doesn't mean that it can't be used by a woman. I would describe it as a "unisex" style.

It's authentic, made in 1995.

Thank you @Hyacinth and @whateve . Extremely grateful for your kind assistance and vast knowledge on these bags. Yes, it is very unisex and trying to convince my partner to carry it too. Once again, thank you for your wisdom.

I am new here and not familiar with Coach bags or anything of the sort so please bear with me! I have 2 bags that were given to me a long time ago that I never used. I'm interested in selling them but I'm not sure they are even real. Can someone help me with authenticating these? (I will make a separate post for the 2nd bag)
Thank you in advance!
