It looks like Gray in your photos but it might be Loden.

It’s a green, yes Loden (I had to look it up). The lighting in the store was not great.

Hello would you please authenticate this wristlet? I purchased it from Plato's Closet. Is it called a turnlock wristlet? It is 7.75" x 4.5". Thank you

Thank you, I don't think I've heard of the zippered pouch, will dig around now.

It's also been called a Small Zippered Pouch. Here's the Fall 1983 catalog:

Dearest Authenticators,

I have had this bag in my possession for a few years, I bought it from a colleague who had lost the original strap and so I used it as a clutch, and it has languished amongst my bag collection unloved for a while now. I’ve just bought a new chain strap direct from Coach so it is a bit more useable. (Apologies...my pictures are staged ready for sale if authentic).

Item: Rhyder (of some sort?)
Where Obtained: Personal sale from colleague
Measurements: 9.5” x 5.5” x 3”
Comments: It is high quality and lovely styling, but the white label doesn’t reveal anything in my online searches - I am hoping this is just one of those typical Coach anomalies...I thought I read somewhere that in 2014 there was a flurry of Rhyder issues.

Here’s hoping...and MTIA as always.

Stay safe

Having never seen the bag/style, I'm not familiar with it but what I saw in your pictures seemed fine. I didn't want to comment until and unless I was sure. I believe that your bag is fine and is a Rhyder crossbody bag in metallic leather, made in 2014.

In my first search, I only found a Facebook listing from a seller in Singapore but her listing showed a picture that was taken in a Coach store (or outlet).



So I did a bit more hunting and got lucky with the Wayback Machine.




ETA: When you list it, be sure to disclose that the strap isn't the original strap that came with the bag and was replaced with a different Coach strap.

It's not necessary to upload the pictures when they're viewable in the listings. You can save yourself some extra work.

The first one is authentic. Although the counterfeiters do seem to like to put "J" as the month code, this bag is fine.

The second one (from BLACK on Mercari) is fake.

The bag is authentic and the serial number is correct for when and where it was made.

I'm concerned though......the listing says that wovencycle ended the listing early "because the item is no longer available." Why is that? Did you buy it "off" ebay? Did the seller offer a cheaper price if you purchased off-site?
