Hi All!
Please authenticate As able.
Thank you!

Item: “Blue Leather Coach Purse”
Seller: sallybing on ebay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254673668596
Comments: can you tell me anything about this older pre-creed model?
Thank you!
Are you the buyer?

It's authentic. I'm not sure that strap is going to be too useful. It's extremely short and appears to have been cut.
yes I am the buyer - I was curious if that was the intended length. I wasn’t sure where to begin searching the pre-creed bags - but it will be my first of its age.
They sure were. and the cut ends weren't even finished off, just left like that. It wasn't just cut, it was butchered.
You might be able to find a replacement strap though navy may be a hard one to find. (I'm looking for a black strap to replace one that was cut and poorly sewn on a Janice bag I found and it's not easy!)

I think you got such a low price (lucky for you) because it's a lousy listing -- no measurements, minimal (read as NO) description, and no disclosure about the strap.

thank you all! I know that I let the excitement of Vintage Coach designs get the best of me. I spent a 16 hr car ride reading the screed article yesterday. I’ll start trying to get creative on the strap and hope for the best ❤️

Could you please authenticate this "white" Wendie and respond to the question if you know the answer? Thanks so very much!

Item: Coach Wendie

Listing number: 264747241137

Link: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/COACH-Vinta...331845&hash=item3da42a4eb1:g:vRIAAOSw9Ide0VlR

Seller and site: merler-marketing, Ebay

Comments: (I have sent this question to the seller as well). Do you happen to know if Wendie came in pure white from Costa Rica in 1998? I have seen her in bone/off white made in the US, but I'm specifically looking for white.

Thank you!

Edited to add seller says the Wendie is "white".

Dear Authenticators,
This Carly was bought from eBay long time ago and the link is no longer available, it was authenciated then but I couldn't find it. I was trying to list it at local Marketing Place, but was deemed against their rule (usually means fake)
Could you please kindly take a look at it, either the Facebook got it wrong or my memory played a trick on me. Thanks.
