Beautiful!

It IS a gorgeous bag and a great find. Enjoy it! Maybe buy a bottle of a nice Italian wine for Valentine's Day.

Thanks.
I also like the Italian wine suggestion, but probably will stick to Canadian Inniskillin Ice Wine... lol

Sounds almost as good. A friend long ago shared some Ice Wine he picked up in upstate New York, Finger Lakes region maybe. It was very good, from what little I remember of the experience.

Ice wine is amazing if you like desert wine. It is quite sweet with very pleasant aroma. It is pricey so only save it for special occasions.

Yep, You hardly ever see it in the liquor and wine shops here in the Midwest. A store manager told me that most of what is produced in the US is sold in the northeast and in the NYC area, depending on the size of the harvest. Enjoy your Ice Wine!

I always did like sweet things.


Sweet wines, too.

I've never heard of ice wine! It doesn't get cold enough here to make it. It sounds delicious! I like sweet wines.

Then you ladies must try Inniskillin brand ice wine ( can’t speak for other brand since never tried them). Photo is from online, Costco Canada liquor store has the same 3 bottles collection for CAD 79.99 (USD60?) . Still not cheap since each bottle only 200 ml, but they ARE so delicious.I only buy it for special occasions.
ETA: should be able to find online .

Is your memory fuzzy because of the quantity of the ice wine consumed or the passage of time.

Inniskillin ice wine is a real treat! It’s very good. I’ve been to their winery - cool tasting “room”. if you could get it, definitely try it.

Were you a tPF member before and just registered under a new ID? The forum software can usually catch something like that. If that's what happened, more than one registered ID isn't allowed.

That's the only possible problem I can think of.

If that's the case, you'll probably have to contact the Moderator or a forum manager to reactivate your old ID. Otherwise it might block you.

Thanks so much for the reply. No, I haven’t been a member before, but I did post 3 requests within a few hours (because I was trying to decide which bag to buy), so maybe that was it. Either way, someone now replied and said it looks authentic. I really appreciate the time that you guys spend authenticating the bags. It’s very helpful!

 

[Ponchovoor]

The bag is fine but be VERY careful with "mixers." They can be dangerous since buyers have a sense of trust when there are genuine items, assuming that everything is authentic.

I don't know why you're seeing that. There was nothing wrong with your requests.

Thanks again for your time. I really appreciate it. I ended up buying the bag that you authenticated for me earlier on the forum (eBay listing 184650209082). The seller offered me a discount, so I got it for $55. Thanks again.

Probably a bit of both. The details are fuzzy but the memories are very pleasant. As for the passage of time, there's not much I can do about that so there's no sense letting it get to me. Heck, I've been driving for more than 50 years and still can't remember my drivers license number, and it's been the same all that time. You just have to hope for the best, and that you remember the important things.

Dear Authenticators, kindly check this bag for me please for its authenticity. At first I was excited that this style was made in a dark green but now I’m not so sure if it is indeed genuine. Thanks so much!

Vintage Coach Hunter Green Crossbody Messenger Bag 5181 | eBay

The main interior has a large back zipper pocket with Coach creed and ID ending in 5181 indicating it was made in the United States. Large enough for books, folders and papers, I would say it's a bit too small for a laptop but a tablet would fit.

It's a genuine Colebrook Case mini briefcase made in 1995. This catalog page from early 1996 shows that Bottle Green was one of the available colors. Click on the thumbnail to enlarge.
