Thanks so much. Just got home from picking it up. The strap is approximately 46” in length and it tapers in the center, top opening is approximately 10” from buckle to buckle, height is approximately 8” from base to top of seam in back, depth is approximately 3” at base seam. I hope these measurements help with identifying it’s name. Thanks a million! :smile:

I saw a bag on ebay, that I've never seen before, the pix have no clear image of the creed, so I asked the seller to post a pic of where it says coach and she got a bit snarky and told me "that she obviously wouldn't post a coach without it being an actual coach" so no pic and no more communication, I know its hard without the creed, but is this authentic? I've never had a seller refuse a pic before.

If that seller refuses a request for another photo, why would you even consider dealing with her? What happens if you have a problem after the sale?

It may be ok but without a creed photo we can't be sure. And we don't recommend buying from sellers who refuse that kind of request. In fact, looking at the seller's other Coach listings, of the TEN handbag items I looked at, only ONE of the bags include a clear creed photo, and one doesn't include any additional photos at all besides the gallery pic. I personally would not buy from seller " rehabexchange ."
