Item: Prairie
Where purchased or how obtained: thrift store
Comments: Trying to organize my bags today and rediscovered my black Prairie. I have had this bag for several years, it is one of the first the on got on my thrifting odyssey. I got it years before I found TPF so I do not believe I requested an authentication here. Dimensions are a little over 6" height, 9 1/2" width, 2 1/2" depth.

Thank you for updating.

You needed post them this time but we want the actual URL (clickable link to the listing) and the seller's ID on the site. The reason we ask for those items is because sometimes items have already been authenticated,, sometimes sellers have histories, and some authenticators choose not to authenticate certain sites and/or certain sellers' listings.


This is an example of a poshmark request with the link and seller ID as we need:

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:

Hi Hyacinth, I'm just chiming in because this is my listing, and if the strap is not original, I want to make sure my listing reflects that. I do believe my listing features the Small Swinger 4080 - which has different dimensions than the catalog picture above for the 4040. The listed purse is 9 1/4" x 6 1/2" x 3" and not the 12' x 8 1/4" x 3 1/2" for the Swinger above. So the single strap on the larger purse would make sense, but the rolled double-strap on the smaller bag could be authentic. Indeed I did have the bag authenticate here when it came into my possession. I don't have a catalog reference for the Small Swinger, but Sacs Magnifiques ( who I think is Debbie the Restorer who works for Coach) has the sister to this exact style bag, with the rolled double strap, currently listed in her Etsy shop.

I value your expertise, and the expertise of all the authenticators who give their time on this site. I just want to be very clear in my listing. Is the double trap original to the Small Swinger bag? If in question I will alter my listing to reflect that. Thanks in advance for your time.
 
Dear authenticators, I kindly request your expert opinion on this item. Thank you!

Item: COACH Chester H5C-9982
Listing number:
Seller and site where listed: hannabs1 on depop
Link: https://www.depop.com/products/hannabs1-burgundy-coach-small-pouch-authentic/
Comments: I pretty sure I may have jumped the gun on this one. The bag has no signs of use, the leather is stiff, and the whole bag feels too lightweight. Some of the stitching is done sloppily and the zipper feels cheap. The creed stamp is a bit off center and slightly askew.

Here are some additional pictures I just took:

Thank you!
