The Nasa items are/are highly faked and I'd be very wary. I'm not seeing the obvious problems I've seen with the patches on the fake Nasa wallet but I haven't seen a known authentic version of the dinky and I'm not sure what to look for. There are some areas of sloppy stitching that seem off but again, I'm not sure what to look for.

Personally, I'd probably not buy it.

I'd like a second opinion from @houseof999

@Sassy_dietitian712
I'm not seeing anything alarming either but I too noticed the sloppy stitches and they bother me enough to not make an offer.. even at half the asking price I wouldn't be happy with those stitches.

Both of them are authentic.

Looks like both of us had one of those days! Again, I'm sorry. Things can get messed up when I try to do more than one thing at once, like making supper.

I blame Covid. After getting a haircut yesterday morning and looking in their mirrors and the clippings on the floor, it hit me that my hair was now completely grey instead of just salt-and-pepper, and it all happened just in the last few months. I think I'll call it Covid Grey from now on.

One nice thing though, it's coming in kind of a yellowy grey instead of silver so for the first time in 50 years I'm a blonde again. Maybe i'll have it tinted blue, or maybe lavender like Mrs Slocombe. Then all I need to do is get a cat.

Thank you as always for all your help! For what it’s worth, my brown hair went completely salt and pepper over lockdown, so I think it’s definitely Covid Grey! Our hairdressers have been closed since December here in the UK but hoping for a cut soon! Definitely going to embrace the salt and pepper though!

tBH, I find it much easier (and cheaper) to live with and the bonus benefit is that there are no roots! (And another benefit, at least in my case, is that my baby fine hair has more body than it did when it was solid brown.

Against my better judgement, I am interested in buying this tattered old thing. I kind of like how battered it is, believe it or not, and I have the tools to fix the strap. I was just wondering though what style and colour this might be. Thanks so much guys

It's genuine. The seller didn't give any measurements but it's probably a style 9085 Duffle Sac made in the early 1990s.

Good luck!

Hello would you pleas authenticate this bag I purchased from the consignment shop? It measures about 11.5 x 8.5" x 3"

Hello would you pleas authenticate this bag I purchased from the estate sale? There is no Creed number but it says made in Italy. Looks brand new. What kind of leather is it? It almost looks like pebble but not quite, it's criss crossy. I really like this one a lot. Measures about 8.5 x 7 x 3. Thank you.

Genuine Brighton Bag, style 9895 from the early to mid 1990s.

From a 1991 catalog:

It's a Dakota Rider Bag style 4200 from the early 1990s. The Dakotas were introduced in 1991 right before the Sheridans and used that square pattern for their leathers. Coach never gave a name to the leather pattern. They also had what I think are pigskin inside pockets.

Im 47 this year...and I embraced the grey 5 years ago...am glad I did it but still get a little sad when someone describes me as the grey haired older lady.

It's fake.

ETA: DO NOT BUY FROM momsal-63.

She appears to knowingly sell fakes and in cases where she's unsure of authenticity or knows they're fake, lists without brand names in an attempt to stay under the radar.

Doesn't use "Michael Kors" in this listing:

It's really unfair that grey hair is often considered sexy on an older man but just an indicator of an "older lady" on a woman.

And then you have ladies like singer Judy Collins who hopefully tells anyone who thinks gray hair on a woman isn't sexy to kiss her arse.

I just purchased this bag, but I wanted to double check it's authenticity. The serial number looks to be either H5D-9951 or H5B-9951. Thanks for any help.

It's fine, made in 1995. The plant code is D on that bag.
