This is a pretty wild bag! I like it, is it genuine?

No, it's fake.

ETA: Coach used a similar fabric on certain styles like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-C...683?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cee31dbbb

Awesome, thank you for setting me straight! Haha I was getting nervous about a couple of the vintage pieces I'd picked up over the last few months. What a GREAT resource this forum and its members are!

You're welcome.

Also confused - are the grooves the 4 clippy looking things?

Here are two examples. The first is fake. Where the clips are bent over, you can see the back of the plate is dented in. The second is authentic. It is completely flat - no indentations.

Ah! Phew. Minor panic ensued. Thanks!

I bought this a while back from tumbledeal.com. well, after stumbling on some reviews for the site I am very worried the bag I bought is fake. It doesn't look fake but as you awesome ladies have educated me, I can be very wrong.

If you need anymore pictures please let me know

It looks fine.

It looks fine.

Whew!! Thank you! One of the rings looks like it may have been replaced because it has a place where it comes together and all of my other bags' rings do not have this.

Hmm, that's not right. The rings on mine have no breaks.

 

[LouisieAnna]

I don't see any problems. After you get it, post the creed picture. If authentic, it looks like a tailored pouch from the Lightweights collection. They aren't easy to rehab.

Thank you! I'll be sure to post the creed when it arrives. I'm hoping all it needs is a warm soapy bath.

Yes it is. The seller doesn't give measurements. It might be a Chapin.

I purchased this bag at a thrift store today. Is it authentic? If so, what is the name of it? It's a Sheridan, correct?

I ran to get a picture because I remember seeing this before.
My factory leather Zoe has this split ring on the ring that is attached to the straps, not the ring attached to the bag. I bought this from the Coach Factory Store and haven't replaced anything on it.

Thank you for posting! I was worried. I don't have the convertible Zoe so mine doesn't have the strap.

It looks authentic. It is a Sheridan, probably a Charleston #4217.

the grooves are the indentations UNDER the four clippy things
