No problem, it takes a while to figure everything out. The Coach forums are probably two of the busiest here, so anything to make it easier to find an older post, even if it's just a day or two older, is appreciated. We have 5 (I think!) authenticators here just for Coach, and the person who authenticated your bag might not be the same person who's trying to answer your follow-up question.

And reading the Salearea Guides can answer a lot of questions you haven't even asked yet, reading all six is a good idea.

Yes. The guides are wonderful. I have read them more than once and learn something each time.

please authenticate when someone has a chance. Thank you.

Sorry, it's fake. The serial number prefix isn't valid. Something about the shape and proportions doesn't feel quite right either. I can't read the creed words either, does it say it was made in the US?

Thanks, I'm glad you're finding them useful.

Sorry. More photos were requested for identifying the bag. I certainly didnt mean for anyone to go looking back for
a post. That is why I posted it was already authenticated and added the photos. Thank you.

Will make sure to include original post next time. I admit I’m still learning how to use this forum.

It's an authentic Laura flap.

 

[jillhives]

Were you the lucky winner?!? It was a deal for whoever did!

Nooooo! I was holding out for a confirmation first. Didn't want to risk it... also not my favorite color. It was definitely a good deal for the winner!

That link is apparently for a personal communication from Etsy to you. No one else can read it unless they're signed in with your name and password.

EDITED TO ADD - Is this it?

If it is, it looks like a genuine Coach but I'm pretty sure it's not a Bonnie Cashin design. I have no idea how old it is or how the seller came up with the age she - sorry, HE - claims in the listing. Coach was making items like that for a long time, and a similar one was in their catalogs in the 1980s.
