Item: Coach navy leather crossbody as listed. (trying to be a station? looks off to me but I'm not the expert)
Listing number: sorry, not sure what you need here
Seller: theblacknarcissus
Link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/641612869/coach-navy-leather-crossbody-purse-80s?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=coach+vintage+scooter+bag&ref=sc_gallery-1-15&plkey=3757644b5a726b6cf51559ca6e23c9b2effd4656:641612869&pro=1&frs=1
Comments: really don't like to be a snitch on people but strap has nickel? and bag has brass? I would be sad if I bought this and it turned out fake.

It's definitely fake. Even without seeing a creed the leather loooks stiff and cheap, and the "keeper" holding down the tip of the strap shouldn't be metal. The strap buckle is also too close to the mid-point of the strap.

Since I've been retired I don't buy anything based on rarity, I buy because I like the style and the color and because the size and design work for me. And I LUUUUUUUV purple!
I wanted it because I love purple too & I love the Willis! I guess I just meant rare in the sense that I’ve never seen one that color before. I’d love your opinion if you think that would have been a lot to spend on that bag when it was sold “As Is” online & you can’t really see the details of the condition.

Hard to say. I probably still would have bought it at that price and then just crossed my fingers that it was in decent condition.

BTW, when quoting, be sure that the quoted text is between the 2 Quote brackets [QU0TE] quoted text [/QU0TE]. (I changed the letter O to a zero to keep the QUOTE HTML from disappearing) For some reason they're getting mixed up.
