I did notice the variation, the unusual/different strap....the entire bag was just more of a wth??? than anything else!
Thanks for verifying Hyacinth!

K-Coach -
Please note that I didn't say it was fake. There was a genuine style like that with those details but there's no way to prove that particular one is one of the real ones. My biggest objection is the seller's previous record and his or her attempt to claim or at least imply that different shades of color was a positive attribute of vintage bags and not out of the ordinary on vintage Coaches. To which I say once again, BULL-POOP.

No, there's no way to prove it and you have to ask yourself if it's worth taking a chance.

If it does turn out to be fake, please remember that Poshmark's track record with removing or refunding buyers who bought fakes STINKS.

May I please request an authentication of this Brighton bag I bought yesterday?
Seller: jessi319
Item #: 202995440822
Link: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/202995440822
Comments: any thoughts as to what this color might be called? The seller calls it camel and she seems to know her stuff but I'm hoping it isn't as camelly as camel and that it's more of a honey or brighter tan color.

Thank you very much!!

The bag is authentic and appears camel to me but I recommend waiting for others who have catalogs showing the catalog colors of the era.

It depends on the year it was made, Camel was a 1992 color. If it's from 1991 my guess would be Tabac although Putty was also available. There were really too many tan shades to try and guess based only on photos. Wait until you've dunked and conditioned it and THEN try to figure out colors. But do it from the actual bag and not from seller photos.
