First one is authentic.

I don't recommend the second seller, nikireifen. She has other bags that are fake so she obviously doesn't verify her items before listing.

Thank you, BeenBurned, for your help (including your tip about the second seller). I will definitely keep my distance!
Can you please give me a rough idea of what year(s) the first tote comes from?

Anytime from the late 70s to the late 80s.

Oh, I just checked the SaleArea guides - am I right in saying somewhere between the late 70’s and 1990/91 based on the creed format? Is there a way of narrowing it down further?

I answered right above your post. It isn't as late as 1990 because by that time they were no longer using Made in New York City on creeds. The style was made throughout the late 70s and 80s.
 
Help !
My daughter is trying to sell this NWT Coach purse on eBay and a potential buyer is asking her to prove that it is Authentic. Since this style is reversible there is no embossed label on the inside. We have sent her lots of photos including of the tags but she is still skeptical. What do y’all suggest we do ?
Here’s photos :
We Appreciate your valuable assistance !

Item: Rogue
Seller: erunway

The F38124 style number, and the seller’s insistence that this isn’t an outlet bag confuses the heck out of me!
I'm not authenticating the bag for a couple of reasons, the most important of which is that the pictures are inadequate for authentication purposes and secondly, I don't recommend nor support PM.

But in answer to your question, the bag, style 38124 is/was made for the boutique/full priced store. But that bag was sent to and purchased from an outlet store.
