Vintage COACH Navy Everett Small Crossbody Purse & Mini Wallet Coin Keychain panoramasalescorp

The coin purse looks fine to me, but not sure about the bag. Seller sent me a picture of creed but I don't know how to share it from my messages to here. The creed is J00 9931.



This bag's creed also ends in 9931 & seller's calling it a Watson Flap, but it doesn't have a flap -

Copy and save the creed photo into a photo or pictures folder on your computer, then attach it here.

The key case is ok and the Everett might be ok but that's all I can say without a creed photo. BUT "J00-" is not a valid serial prefix so you could be misreading the number, and 9931 is not the correct style number for an Everett Bag - in fact it's the style number for a Lewiston bag like the other one you asked about. So something's not right if -9931 is actually the style number from that serial number. I wouldn't go any farther with that one until that problem is cleared up. So we REALLY need to see that creed and serial number.

The second one is a genuine Lewiston Bag, not a Watson.

You're welcome.

The bag is fine. I don't know the name or style number. It is a Bonnie Cashin design. You could ask on the vintage chat thread if anyone has more information.

There's no way to really "authenticate" a Coach strap since as you said, there aren't any markings on it. It's a shame you don't know what bag it came from. If you bought the bag with Paypal there might still be a record of the sale in your Paypal history, at least that might show the style name. But unless a Coach strap is really distinctive, it can't be authenticated once it's separated from the bag, since some online companies sell lookalike straps.

It could be from any one of dozens of styles make in the last 8 years or so. My own guess would be from one of the Poppy styles but that's just a wild guess.

Thank you very much for your quick reply! Your opinion and advise is very important for me!

I really regret that I lost the bag's style number. This was first time when I sold a strap...

Sincerely yours,
Natalia

OK, I knew the "Flap" bag was not a flap bag. LOL And, I think something is off in the smaller bag w/ the coin purse. I appreciate your instructions on how to share the creed here from my messages, however, for some reason, the picture attachment has disappeared from my message from seller. As you can see, this great-grandma is not a computer wiz by a long shot. I believe I'll let the set pass. Once again, thanks for your opinion & knowledge.

OH, wait - I found it! The picture's not clear, so not sure you can tell anything from it.

Item: Coach strap
Listing number: 221770017106
Seller: QualityGoods-ca
Link: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/221770017106?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1561.l2649

Could you please authenticate this Coach strap? I've sold it recently. My buyer wants more information about this item. Unfortunately, the strap has no any stamps on it. The strap came with an authentic Coach bag; however, I disposed the bag (it was ripped) and don't remember its style number.

If somebody could help me with authentication or advise, I would deeply appreciate your help. Probably, I shouldn't have listed this strap...

Sincerely yours,
Natalia

Since there's no way to really "authenticate" the strap as Coach, I will say that it doesn't have any red flags indicating that it's fake.

And assuming that it's Coach, I also thought it would have been from a poppy bag.

Ah, a Rule Breaker - so NOT all Patchwork items have the same patches front and back. :D

Genuine, style number 40282. The seller who has one listed just calls it a Patchwork Multicolor Wristlet.

Patchwork items usually didn't have collection names.

And Thanks Hyacinth

I was thinking about the zebra pony being in brown might be a problem
did not even think of the matching patchwork.
