Dear authenticators! Request to authenticate please. Thank you! (If this is one too many, please let me know and I'll ask at a later date. )
Item: Swingpack metropolis (web search, correct me if I am wrong please.
Seller: thrift store, now hoping to add it to my collection!

Comments: I never saw a Coach with a key chain inside. At first, I thought it was a counterfeit but the leather seems Coach and the price was right! Still, I'm not sure. Thank you!

Genuine, from 2006. That was one of the few times they used contrast stitching on one of the classic leather styles.

BTW, it's not neccessary to take a close-up of the zipper brand. All those "guides" saying YKK zippers prove a Coach is genuine are completely wrong, read the Signature under all of my posts. What we would much rather have is a photo of the back of the turnlock plate, the part of it on the leather tab or flap where the 4 prongs holding the 2 pieces together are visible. This is the part I mean:

Hyacinth, thanks so much for sharing your amazing knowledge to help a newbie like me!
In the future I’ll include the back of the turnlock plate whenever possible. I’m so relieved to hear that my first 2 purchases weren’t fakes!
I wish I could invite you to my next waterside supper with riparian entertainment!

Hello experts. May I please request a double check on this? Already paid for, but not much of a gamble for the price. I also purchased this seller' s court bag a week earlier, which was already authenticated here by Hyacinth. As the listings were not the best, I'm adding additional photos again.
Thank you!

Authentic. Called Metropolis zip, not swingpack. You're lucky to find one with the keychain still attached.
