Hi! I received my plaza bag today that was previously authenticated here: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...ost-for-format.889527/page-3096#post-33641046

Everything seems okay with the bag to me except for maybe the strap, but I’m not too familiar with this bag so I wanted to check:


It seems like a replacement strap to me, or is this what the original ones looked like? Let me know if you need more photos. Thank you for your help!

The strap is a modern replacement. I've never seen a "COACH"- stamped strap clip of any kind on any vintage or classic Coach. They may have started using them on recent styles or maybe selling them separately but I haven't seen it for myself.

The bag itself is genuine.

Thank you as always! I thought it was just another black Court so passed it by & just decided to click on it & so glad I did. I’ve been looking for a green Court! If I keep finding these vintage bags I’m going to have a “Little, teeny, tiny, itty bitty, weeny”... bank account!

Thanks so much @Hyacinth!

Same...I hear ya...we should have our own broke gals club.

Both are authentic. The purple one was made around 1993 and is called a swing wallet, #4843. The red one was made around 1996 and was called an envelope swing wallet, #4873. It originally came with a removable keyring.

Thank you so much for the info! The red one I was told was from the late 80"s so glad I followed up here!

Don't waste your time trying to delete a post, that can only be done by the Mods. All you can do is delete the entire contents but you have to have at least one entry in the text box. Many of us will just use a period or that "nm" for "never mind" (which works best when spoken in an Emily Litella voice) that new posters ask about when it's used.

And in case you're not familiar with the Emily Litella reference, you have NO idea what you've missed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_Litella
and

No one outside of our generation (I’m 54) remembers Emily Litella or Roseanne Rosseannadanna. I’ve quoted both at work in various situations when appropriate (“It just goes to show ya, if it’s not one thing it’s another” and “Nevermind!”) and I’m met with blank stares, When I try to explain it to them (none over 40 years old) I’m met with blank stares or the requisite, “You’re so weird, Dr. P.” We lived for SNL (and tv in general) in those first years. I remember being 11 years old and sleeping over at a friends house. After their parents went to bed, we’d sneak to the tv and watch. 75% of the jokes went over our heads, but the other 25% were pure gold. Samurai baker comes to mind...

Good morning authenticators. Could you please take a look at this court bag when you get a chance? It's from a closed local group buy/sell group, so I've attached pictures directly. The seller posted only three pictures. Thank you so much!

 

[nursebetty]

It's a Swinger Small #4080 from late 1980s Lightweights. The color looks like Blue.

Interesting! That's so much darker than the photos appear. I'm curious to see what happens after some moisturizer.

The bag shown in the pictures looks okay.

Hello authenticators could I have these bags authenticated please. Does the black one look ok even though the serial no. Is not embossed? The dark brown serial # K2P-9076 and the camel one is # J4D-6143. Thank you.

The second one, the dark brown, is fine. The camel is fake. I think the black one is probably okay. More opinions are welcome.

I agree on all 3 bags -- first 2 authentic, last one fake.
