It's been so crazy here that I don't remember if this was answered or not, but the Station Bag is genuine, from 1995

Please let us know if we missed anything.

Thank you very much. Much appreciated!

 

[pearlpearl35]

Genuine, made in 1997

Thank you. So glad it's authentic.

 

[lovebaddax3]

Both are genuine.
The first is a Legacy Top Of Counter Compartment Bag (I'm not kidding, that's the name on the webpage!) made in 2000.

the second is a Hamptons Leather Lunch Tote from 2001.

Thank you Hyacinth! My luck is holding, huh? I have 3 more to post from my vintage shopping spree. I will do so over the next few days, but I just have to say once more that I appreciate this forum so much.

I understand your position on Poshmark and Mercari and agree that the people they employ aren't qualified to determine the authenticity of Coach bags. (Recent trends at eBay seem to suggest they're equally inept, removing genuine bags on the flimsiest of pretexts. But I digress.)

That being said, I can think of at least one reason to respond to those Poshmark and Mercari authentication requests here. If the bag was fake, you'd be doing a valuable service to potential buyers by warning them not to buy it. That would be a strike against both the seller and, indirectly, the platform they're selling on.

Just my 2 cents.

I do usually comment on fakes on those sites. (And my comments aren't too complimentary!)

It's fine. Beaumont satchel is the correct style.

Here's a post where Hyacinth IDs one:

Thank you so much!

 

[LadyLuna]

It's a genuine Prairie Bag from 1995

Thank you so much for your help!

It really irks me that he called you "honey". I don't like that man.

+1. You can add "sweety" "sweetheart" to that list too.

Yep, I agree 100 percent! We're NOT his "honeys" and he sure as shyte isn't ours. Does anyone remember the abbreviation "MCP?" Set the Wayback Machine for the 1960s.

I know what you meant but looked it up again to confirm and started recalling Mad Men episodes!

Hi! Can you please authenticate? Thanks to @katev for the enabling

Comments: thanks so much for all of my recent requests...need to take a break from the rehabs but it’s definitely an addiction now, lol.

It looks good.

Ugh. Someone needs a slap.

Yep! Maybe the "Male Chauvinist Pig" mindset didn't actually start in the 60s, but it's when a lot of it was brought out in the open. Some clueless bozos apparently never got the memo that it's not cool any more.

 

[houseof999]

Ugh. Someone needs a slap.

That someone is sometimes a woman too.

 

[Morgan_Bellini]

That someone is sometimes a woman too.

For sure! And sometimes it's me.

 

[Hyacinth]

For sure! And sometimes it's me.

Or me.

The serial number prefix looks like L5C- so probably made in 1995. It looks genuine to me.
