Dear authenticators, request to authenticate please. thank you!
Item: Convertible clutch (with a ?, looks like the 2 other that I had authenticated here. Thank you!)
Photos below.
Comments; thrift store find. Width 11", width 3", height 7". Thinking of selling after I clean and condition since I already have a navy and another black, if this proves to be authentic. The "elephant skin" you often mention in fakes, does this bag have it?
Thank you in advance for your time and help!

It's genuine. The stretched leather looks like it's from normal use since it's in high-stress areas of the bag like the bottom corners where the weight of the contents would settle and the underflap pocket where most owners would probably carry their house and car keys. Today's car keys with their remotes are a lot bulkier than car keys used to be when this bag was made which was the early 1990s.

Thank you so much Hyacinth! I greatly appreciate your time and help! BTW the fakes (that look to me so real) are scary!

I agree, and the thought of how much of their hard-earned money so many people have spent on fakes is even scarier.It used to be assumed that older vintage all-leather bags weren't faked, but that's definitely not the case.

I think (?) I can trust the Coach bags from my aunt but now I'm on a 'save the Coach bags at the thrift shops' obsession!!! I would have bought 2 fakes last week if not for the knowledge I have learned from you and the other authenticators. Still...I have a fear that I will be caught out with a fake. Thank you once again!
