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. Thank you!View attachment 4676427

Concerning the Hadley -
Where online are you seeing larger sizes? That's important to specify, we can't see if you're seeing valid listings or just some number that a seller threw in her listing because the bags looked similar. Or rhe seller may not have even gotten the measurements right. Ebay listings are notorious for incorrrect descriptions because Ebay sellers can search Ebay's "catalog" for similar keywords and copy listing descriptions using the same words but almost always are not from the same style bag. Don't depend that everything you find on line is dependable! In fact it's usually just the opposite.

Both of the bags you posted are genuine. That's all that matters. I don't have names for either one because they're both outlet styles.

Good evening Authenticators

Could you please check this bag when you get a chance? Thanks a lot!

Item: penny crossbody

Question: if it’s authentic, is the leather used in the bags around this time period (2013?) similar in quality to the vintage bags? Thanks!!!!

It looks okay. IMO, the leather isn't the same quality. It varies, but some of the bags made around this time had horrible leather. Some not as bad.

Thanks whateve!!
That’s too bad about the quality of the leather. I was hopeful because it’s unlined and says full grain on the creed... oh well!!
Thanks again!!

It's hard to tell. Some people are happy with the bags from this era. I remember seeing a black one at the outlet in another style that was super shiny and fake feeling. I think different colors were better. There was a thread about the differences. I believe the bags with the style numbers that started with 17 were made of thinner leather than the bags that had similar style numbers to the original styles. If the seller took returns, I would tell you to order it because you might like it.

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.

Hi. Thanks for the info. The bags I listed were all purchased at Goodwill stores near me.

Thanks for sharing your insights, whateve! I’ll see if I can find that thread.
I don’t think i want to take a chance with this, even though I’m seriously tempted. Even if the seller accepts returns it’s a lot of hassle for everyone so I’d rather be sure before I order. Since she doesn’t accept returns, that makes the decision easier.
I just saw a red pocket purse on eBay.com (!) but unfortunately the seller doesn’t ship to Canada! I’ll just have to be more patient and be happy with the two awesome bags I got this month.
Thanks again, whateve!
