Hello Authenticators,
I bought this bag about a month ago from eBay because it looked great and the price was right but this past week I bought another bag I like better. (I'll post it for you when it arrives). Anyway, I'm thinking of selling this black one since it just sits in my closet now. It looks and feels legit but I would feel better if someone here can check it out for me. Thank you. I appreciate it. ☺️

It's fine, city bag made in 2000.
 
Hello Authenticators,
May you please authenticate these bags. For the court bag, I am thinking of maybe waiting for a bag that comes with the strap, but i have not seen this color as often, was this color released only certain years?

All look fine. Burgundy was one of Coach's original colors and they made it for many years. It shouldn't be that hard to find one with the strap but if I'm being honest, I don't recall ever coming across a burgundy bag when thrifting. The strap she is including with it is currently selling for $45 at the Coach outlet online. It retailed around $150.

Hello - Is this bag authentic?
Thank you!


Yes, it's a genuine Swinger from the Lightweight line, style 4040 and made in the late 1980s.

I don't think the strap is original, my catalogs show a single strap rather than the double strap in the listing. This is from the Holiday 1987 catalog, click on the thumbnail to enlarge:

Comments: I'm fascinated, I've never seen anything like it!!! Can you tell if it's authentic and what the name is??? Thank you so much
I laughed at the title with "Bunnie Cashin" in this listing and another.

The bag you asked about is an authentic Coach bag (don't know the style) but it's not Bonnie (or Bunnie)!

My records show that the seller had several fakes in the past and I also question this current listing. I don't believe it's authentic:
