If you don’t need it, I will GLADLY take it out of your hands! :angel: Great deal and find!
I thought about posting it in the deals thread, but since it was poshmark I thought, well knowing the attitude about that site here, I decided against it. I was on the fence for another reason, it is so similar to the Post Pouch that I almost decided to hold off because I don't really want or need two bags that are THAT similar, especially both in black (and that's what color PP I want.) So I told myself, if she accepts $30 or $35, I'll get it, if not, I'll pass and mention it on the vintage thread. She accepted $35. My first real great deal, IMO.

But @artax two, the Post Pouch and the Winnie are completely different bags! What if one day you feel square vs. round? You need to keep both of course! :biggrin: No need to think about it, I helped you decide.

that was an amazing find considering the listing title only said "handbag". that would be a needle in a haystack for me. maybe i should be patient enough to wade through all the listings in hopes of striking gold like you did. congrats!
Thanks! I happened to catch it not long after it had been posted so it wasn't buried too deep. If she had had it listed for even one more dollar it would not have got caught in my price filter.

That's one that only has photos of it in my files but No text or catalog information which makes me think it might have been made for the Factory stores. The material seems to be nylon and the body style would be a Zoe, but that's the only information I have other than a photo of another one from the same plant but made a few months earlier. This one is from 2004.. I'm sure it's genuine but the rest is a mystery. I don't think it would be neoprene.

The Zoes, even the boutique versions, came in several different sizes, this could be the smaller version. I had one is the Signature fabric and it was one of the few Coach styles with a Riri brand top zipper. I don't know if all the Zoes did, but don't be surprised if that's what it has. The name, if it's a Riri, is usually on the underside of the zipper mechanism. But mine was made in China and this one's from Turkey, which might make a difference.


Thank you for your help.
 
Please help me authenticate this one. I think it may be a fake because the silver rings are not connected on the ends (this morning I can't seem to find the correct description so hopefully you know what I'm trying to say), you can see where they are coming together. I was under the impression those bags are not authentic and Coach only uses rings that connect completely making them solid all around. Is that correct?20200226_204525_HDR.jpg 20200226_204631.jpg

When I look it up online, No. C1481-F29763, it bring up the name above and a bigger sized bag. Everything else on this bag matches except the size. Please let me know if this is authentic.

Actually that isn't exactly true about the rings. It was true about certain styles but not all. This bag is authentic. Please remember to post where you obtained these bags. If they were for sale online, we need a link to the listing and the seller's name.
 
Good afternoon authenticators, would you please authenticate this bag—

Item: Coach Madison Phoebe Shoulder Bag
Listing number: No listing number. Purchased at thrift store.
Comments: The measurements: 11 1/2” high, 12 3/4” wide, strap drop 7 1/2”. The bag is slouchy so these measurements are approximate. The number is: E1376-26224. I’ve posted two creed photos because it was hard to get a decent picture of it. If you need another photo, please let me know.phoebe bag - 2.jpgphoebe bag - 1.jpgphoebe bag - 3.jpg

Thank you for taking the time to look at this.
