Hi. Could you please authenticate this Coach bag for me?
I bought it from a friend of friend.
It's called Coach Parker With Border Rivets And Snakeskin Detail I think. I'm still new to this so please let me know if I need to post anything else.
Thank you so much in advance.

Item Vintage coach grey black leather small flap shoulder tote purse saddle bag NYC USA

Grey or Black do you think?

Genuine, probably a style 9170 Classic Shoulder Bag from the early 1980s. Did you notice that farther down in the Description section the seller lists the color as brown and tan? The underside of the strap makes me think that it's either black or some shade of dark brown but you won't know until you wash and condition it. If you're hoping for Grey there's a chance you might be disappointed.

Since it's from Goodwill online, we like to see the link(s).

You say you got 2 bags but I'm only seeing one. The court bag is authentic but the long strap isn't Coach and doesn't come with the bag.

(Every once in a while, Entrupy gets it right.)

Thank you so much for your help! I really thought I was going to have to contact entrupy. If I can't find a replacement strap for this one, do you think a brass chain strap would look weird with it?

The response to my comment took an ugly turn at the end! Yikes!

Here’s my comment and a link to the video. What do y’all think?

I don't see a link to the video.

Most people, especially the ones with YouTube channels, don't take kindly to being told that their information isn't correct. You can't teach someone who doesn't want to be taught and believes themself to be an expert. All you end up doing is antagonising them and maybe even making them think that the people at this PurseForum place are a bunch of smart-arses.

Hmmm...the link is showing up on my post at the bottom.

Here - I’ll try again:
