There were 2 sizes made in the Plaza bag. And they probably made them in green. It's genuine. The smaller version was 9860

Thank you so much, it’s in rough shape, mostly around the closure. Looking forward to rehabbing this one.

Sorry I didn't see it sooner. I believe it's authentic. However it's missing two leather hang tags and a rexy charm.

Need help authenticating this bag...

Item: all pink mini carry all.

I can not find any photos anywhere online of this color combo. Is it a rare bag?

 

[Shanhgould]

There are 2 currently listed on Ebay in that color. I don't know why you weren't able to find them using Ebay's Search feature.

So no, it's not rare, and it was made for the outlets which usually means a fairly large number were made. It's genuine.

Looks OK, also an Outlet style made in 2013

Hello authenticators! Request to authenticate please. Thank you!
Item: Willis? brown leather.
Seller: thrift store, now hoping to add it to my collection!
Link: n/a
Comments: about 10" height, 10" width, 3" depth. (Need to work on taking photos, hoping they are not too too bad)

The posting guidelines in Post number One say that a photo of the creed and serial number must be included, especially when a style has been faked as much as the Willis has. I'd also like to see a better-lit photo of the back of the turnlock, it almost looks like there are indentations for the prongs in the photo you posted.

Without seeing the creed, I immediately noticed the uneven shape of the pillow padding on top of the female part of the turnlock flap closure.

@houseof999 - did you happen to see the orientation of the kisslock?

I'd also like to see the white label with production/serial code.

This is the kisslock from the listing in question:


And this is from what I believe is an authentic Dinky:



@Des_109725 -- please hold off bidding until @houseof999 responds.

I asked the seller for a pic of the white tag. I have not heard back yet. I assumed it was inside the kisslock pocket but it is actually right behind the made in tag.
Here's the one I have in Carmine color.

Do you have an opinion about the kisslock?

@BeenBurned additional pics of the hardware and the creed patch from my bag:

So the kisslock can be in either orientation? Ugh!

Yes! Are you shocked?! You know inconsistency is expected by Coach! Was 2015 the first year 1941 items launched? Then these would be the first generation 1941 Dinky bags. Here's one in Pistachio color:

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/303250560724

Here's another one where you can see the kiss lock but no close up of the tags.

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/264265479303

These don't have the metal end 1941 hangtags. I think there was a promotion of getting a surprise charm with the bags. They have two leather tags and one of them had the official color name embossed.



**ETA: Please note these bags have creed patch sewn onto the leather of the kisslock pocket itself and not across from it on the opposite wall. Also the little 1941 leather tab right under the kisslock was not part of the design on these.

 

[houseof999]

Oh there's more @BeenBurned! The sphere head base of the kisslock also don't have any 1941 engraved on them. Even the thread used to stitch the creed patch on these bags are not the current shiny yellow thread Coach currently uses on most 1941 bags. I say most because I don't know all 1941 styles. There could possibly be exceptions. Lol!
