Are you sure the pictures are all the same bag? In some pictures, the bag looks blue and in others, gray. The background in the last picture is different from the background in the other pictures.

Swaggers are so well faked and Poshmark isn't the safest venue from which to purchase.

I don't feel comfortable with this one.

Other opinions are welcome.
Thank you for your response. If you don’t mind, what sites do you recommend looking through to buy a swagger 21?

Ebay is one that has good buyer protection.

My recommendation is also to verify potential purchases before buying. I understand why buyers don't want to draw attention and possibly lose out on deals, but having items vetted before buying can avoid the hassles of returns, disputes, cancellations, etc.

She's definitely green, not black! :smile:

It looks genuine. But did you ask if the long strap is included?

Coach plaza

Good evening, all. Tonight, I come humbly requesting an authentication and some information. Why 'humbly', some may ask? Remember that lilac duffle sac I was so excited about last week? Hahaha! It was SO not lilac. It was a beautiful bag, but definitely periwinkle blue. What a hassle to get that seller to admit that the color was not as she represented. Thankfully the bag is on its way back to her.

For this duffle sac, I'm really trying to figure out if it's a color I already have. Maybe British Tan? Maybe yellow? Maybe something else I haven't thought of or found in my research.

I asked the seller which photo, in her opinion and on her monitor, best represents the color of the bag IRL. She said that the photo of the bottom of the bag is closest in real life.

Now that I'm looking at this again, I think it's BT. However, the lilac / periwinkle has thrown me off my game. Thank you in advance.

It's authentic but I'll leave naming the color to others! (It looks like mustard yellow to me but I doubt that's an "official" name.)

The only tan-ISH color in the late 1996 or Spring or Summer 1997 catalogs is BT.
