The shop name is GutsyGirls.

I removed the photos I submitted, as they were redundant.

As far as the nickel versus brass coloring in sunlight, the seller states that it is nickel hardware on the outside of the bag


There is NO WAY I would ever recommend that seller or authenticate any of her bags under ANY circumstances.

Read the posts here that have mentioned her :


SIX PAGES of posts here under "gutsygirls":

and another 3 pages of posts here under "gutsy girls":

Please read all of the comments from all 9 pages of links and decide for yourself if this is someone you want to give your business to. And what she did at Ebay almost 10 years ago to KNOWINGLY cheat a buyer by mixing in a bunch of fakes into a 'Lot" or large group of bags that she claimed were genuine was just beyond belief. That was when she was using "botticelli4grace" as her Ebay ID.

EDITED TO ADD - here are the posts that discussed "botticelli4grace" they may have been repeated in the links posted above this because it was easy to follow her name changes over the years:

Sorry to seem so vehement, but that seller is - well, read the posts about her and see. Selling counterfeit goods in the US is a Felony, but apparently she just doesn't care.

Please authenticate this Coach bag. I purchased it on Poshmark in 2019 so I am including the link. If you need more pictures, let me know. Thank you.

It's genuine and listed as a Medium Framed Pouch in my files, from 1997. The Small Framed Pouch was style number 9990.
 
Hi Authenticators,
I think I found another nice bag. It feels softer than the Costa Rica bag I posted last week so I think it's a legit legacy made in USA but I was hoping you can confirm it here. I gave it a quick bath and some conditioner so it would look pretty for you. Lol. I hope it was worth it.
Thank you always!

Good day esteemed authenticators! Is there enough information here for a verdict?

Not really. I can't enlarge the creed and serial photo at all, and I'm not even sure what style it's supposed to be since there aren't any measurements. Sorry. There's what seems to be an outlet stamp but that by itself is only a good indicator that it might be genuine. We've seen outlet stamps in fakes too.
 


Genuine, but you also might want to check the seller's feedback

especially the Negative column:

It looks like a 9891 Broadway Satchel from the early 1990s
