Wow - thanks for saving me! Glad I asked....

The problem with that one is the seller. Search the main Coach forum for posts about them, here's an example of why I can't recommend them:
http://forum.purseblog.com/showpost.php?p=24089472&postcount=6793

The seller has a history of complaining about problems with items she's bought, probably to get a refund or discount, and then re-selling them with NO mention of the so-called problems she complained about. She's a Sellers' Nightmare as evidenced by her record of Feedback Left for Her posted at Toolhaus.org:
http://toolhaus.org/cgi-bin/negs?User=shopnagain&Dirn=Left+by

In fact her list of Neutrals and Negatives left for other sellers is so long that the full page won't even load completely, Toolhaus shows 157 Negatives and 200 Neutrals left for sellers she's bought from. I only managed to see about 63 percent of them before it timed out. I don't feel comfortable even indirectly recommending a poisonous buyer/seller like that.

Hi there, i have just acquired this purse and would be very grateful for any help in authenticating it? i have my suspicions but dont know for sure. It has a leather smell, and the stitching looks in-line, i cant see any faults with the stitching or the fabric. Thank you so much, Sue

I can't believe it!! To look at her in eBay you see so many positive reviews, I had no idea people could be so devious! Thanks for opening my eyes,,,I'll have to be more careful from now on,, scratch that, maybe I'll just stay off eBay altogether! Apparently I am naive, I'm wondering if my previous purchases have been fake :-(

Genuine. Coach's full name for it is Bonnie's Legacy Linen Canvas Small Zip Satchel which not only gives the fabric description but probably holds or ties the record for the longest name ever given to a Coach handbag. :D

The styles were created as a tribute to Bonnie Cashin, who had died in early 2000.

Oh I didn't know that they were created as a tribute, just thought they were cashin(g) in on her name, as they do.

Kinda cool, I have a briefcase/multipurpose whatever from this era.

Hi everyone! I just found this bag near the bottom of my rehab box and realized it was never authenticated. And close inspection of the creed in the bright light of day has me nervous. The style number is right but the stamping looks pretty funky...

Lafayette Bag 4140
14.5' x 10.5" x 5"

Hello Everyone

Please authenticate this bag:

Item: Vintage Coach Black Pebbled Leather Sonoma Satchel Bag Made in Italy
Listing #: 131491494705
Seller: pinachedba
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Coa...Sonoma-Satchel-Bag-Made-in-Italy/131491494705

Trying to decide if worth buying as it's missing the strap....

Thank you as always!

It's authentic and that's a pretty good price, even without the strap. You'll probably never find the matching strap but it is pretty easy to find a black strap with brass hardware. I probably wouldn't use a strap with it. There are 22 watchers!
