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?
https://www.etsy.com/listing/703973...hin-change-purse?show_sold_out_detail=1&frs=1

If it is, it looks like a genuine Coach but it's not a Bonnie Cashin design

Whoops. I can't find another link so I took pictures.

Seller: Happliyshopping on Etsy
Item: Double kiss lock coin purse
Dimensions: ~6"x3.5"

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.

Yes! You found it. Thanks for taking the time. I figured it wasn't a Bonnie Cashin, but it'll be fun to clean up. I have something similar from the 80s, and figure it's probably from around that time, also. As always, I so appreciate your help!

Yep, and it should be good for at least another 30 or 40 years!

Thank you

It seems ok but without being able to see a creed with a serial number or no inside tags showing the number and production codes it's impossible to authenticate it. I don't know the style number and can't find any pictures of the same style number for comparison. Frankly, I would never recommend buying any highly faked brand like Coach without those photographic details. Contrary to what most "guides" claim, you can't authenticate a Coach just by looking at details like stitching. Post Number One in this thread describes the details such as inside tags that we need to see. If those aren't visible or available, don't buy unless you enjoy taking expensive risks.There's one small positive detail but that's just not enough for me to give an unqualified OK.

The seller says "Department store floor sample display in unused excellent condition" so if that's accurate it's not from either type of Coach store.

If you want the bag, request that the seller send out a couple more pictures.

If there's a creed, please request a picture. Also, please request pictures of the made in label.

The next picture request may be tricky. Ask the seller for a picture of a small white label with two rows of letters/numbers. Many sellers claim not to be able to find it and some bags don't have it. But if the bag does have it, it may be hidden deep inside the zipper pocket and the pocket may have to be turned inside out to get a picture of it.

Here’s the pictures
Thank you

Hi!
Could you please authenticate this bag?

Item: Coach Gold Handbag
Listing number: 333254938609
Seller: soniaresto-0
Link: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/333254938609
Comments: It looks to be a Soho flap bag in metallic (pewter?) but the buckle is a bit strange when I zoom in, and the seller did not reply when I asked about the number on the creed. Otherwise, it looks completely fine.
Thanks!

Good morning, authenticators. I saw this bag late (for me) last night and wondered about it. Got up this morning to find it sold--not to me. I don't know if you would authenticate it now but here is the info:

Item: Authentic Coach Vintage 9085 Green Leather Large Bucket Duffle Bag, Height 13''
Seller: a-little-bit-of-everything316
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-...=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
Item number: 153553176691

I must admit to being curious about the color being original / authentic. I pretend to no expertise in this area (see all of my authentication requests for bags like this) but am hoping to add to my knowledge. Thanks for ALL you do!
