I can’t seem to find a bag like this one online so I’m not even sure the year or title. I’m new to this and would appreciate any help.

Please help authenticate these bags:
#1
Item: Coach, Vintage red, Regina, Crossbody bag, 9983
Seller: agathaiola (Poshmark)
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-Vintage-red-Regina-Crossbody-bag-9983-5de57b917a8173ca8565e4cb
Comments: I just haven't seen this particular red before - usually only a deeper maroon. Nothing really throws me off but I'd like to be more sure that I didn't miss anything and that it's real before purchasing online.

#2
Item: Coach vintage crossbody
Seller: jentizne24 (Poshmark)
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-vintage-crossbody-5def12f290feb680924d8853
Comments: I'm weary of made in Costa Rica creeds since the one's I've notice seem to always have different style fonts for the numbers... is that something to be suspicious of? What differed from the costa rice creeds to the USA ones?

Thank you so much!

CR fonts changed pretty regularly because Coach used the plant as a final destination for old or retired stamps from other plants. There's no clear-cut signal to look for, the best thing is to have them authenticated here. Fortunately Costa Rica didn't seem to be on the counterfeiters' radar but there's a first time for everything. And because we're not about to give any crooks advice on how to make better fakes, we usually don't go into exact details.

Both bags look genuine.

You might be able to unhook it and put it in the right way. There is probably an opening in the ring. I can't tell if there is a hole in the loop.

I got the bag today and there wasn't an issue with the strap. It was perfect. Weird. And it is the envelope portfolio. The leather on this is so soft and pliable seller had it folded in a padded envelope. Way prettier than the listing. Already cleaned and conditioned. Thanks for your help.

It's always good to be cautious when considering a bag online that hasn't yet been authenticated, but I will say the Costa Rica-made vintage bags I own have some of the nicest leather I've ever owned. Buttery soft and gorgeous.
